Day 6

Subject: Keep your eyes on the prize, [firstname]!

“Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost legendary. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent.”
Calvin Coolidge

Hi [firstname],
Sometimes the greatest source of motivation can be to just remind yourself why you're doing what you’re doing.  That’s why it’s so important to work out the REAL reason why – like we discussed at the beginning of this series. 
 
Keep the reason why foremost in your mind.  Write it down on Post-It ™ notes and place them around your home and workplace – on the refrigerator and next to your computer monitor, for example. Turn your goal into a mantra and repeat it to yourself whenever you have a spare moment.  Make sure you don’t get distracted or tempted to deviate from your chosen path, or allow yourself to become discouraged and give up. 

Imagine how good it will feel when you've accomplished your task!

Often that alone is enough to provide the necessary motivation to get you through the difficult and hard times.  Imagine yourself driving that car, living in that house, having that wonderful love-filled relationship, opening your bank statement and smiling, opening your credit card statement without that tightness in the pit of your stomach, not feeling the craving for a cigarette – whatever it is you want, whatever your goal is, imagine how good you’ll feel when you get it!

Keep that in your mind and you can’t go wrong.

Warmly,

[Your Name]
