A lot has been published about individual motivation. Although I have written other books (libros de superación personal) it seems like the one about personal motivation and self development (desarrollo personal) is what people today actually would like.

People ask me, “What’s so challenging about personal motivation (motivación personal)?” Trying to guess, I think the hardest part is to preserve it, preferably at all times. When we go to the gym, we work out and then, we’re accomplished. When we have to finish a challenge for work, we operate on it for a particular period of time, and then we end it.

Determination is a unique “cookie”, nevertheless, it is much required in whatever activity we commit and specially when initiating new endeavors like, starting a new business and make it profitable, or those new year resolutions like a beginning a diet and keeping our hands away from that yummy ice cream and pastries.

The 3 major components of determination are: 

a) What are you aiming for?, what do you want?
b) Work 
c) Persistence

Of these 3 elements, persistence is possibly the only one with which most persons struggle. Normally, when we determine some thing, we know what we want. The energy is individual and for a certain period of time we are ready to give the finest of us. However, right after a while, even the most inspired of us start to feel much less enthusiastic and regularly end up giving up or quitting, particularly if things do not happen fast enough. 

This is where the purpose of persistence gets highly very important and considerably needed. Those who continue to pursue their objectives and desires are those who, often, get them. The road might be rocky, but victory is significantly sweeter and the results obtained are more appreciated. Take into consideration, next time you’re about to give up and abandon your efforts, the results could be ready just around the corner. It would be a shame to abandon them there and not reach your destination. With few of the already identified persistence, you can accomplish a whole lot without significantly struggle.
