7. What if You Lack Self-Motivation?
Self-confidence propagates self-motivation. However, you may lose your self-confidence at certain periods in your life and the level of your self-motivation automatically drops down. This is true, even for people with a very strong positive attitude. Adversities happen to all of us – only the degree of those adversities may differ. Hence, your responses are according to degrees of adversities.
Lacking self-motivation allows negativity to set in. Poor self-motivation can lead to:
× Stress and depression, which makes you feel confused over unsuccessful efforts.
× Trying to change your attitude but the effects are hard to sustain so your situation doesn’t change.
× You blame others for your lack of success.
× Your feeling of abundance can be replaced by feeling that there is a paucity of everything- funds, resources, energy, time, and effort.
× You blame these negative factors for your lack of success.
× You refuse to accept any responsibility. You want others to support you and work for your success.
× You don’t realize obstacles in your path to success.
