Motivation is the ultimate root of success

Or at least, that is what Geoffrey James said in this great motivational post.

Here are the ways to keep yourself motivated:

• Condition your mind. Train yourself to think positive thoughts.
• Condition your body. It takes physical energy to take action.
• Avoid negative people. Don’t take anything that they say seriously.
• Always remain flexible. No plan should be cast in concrete.
• Act with a higher purpose. If it doesn’t serve your goal, it’s wasted effort.
• Take responsibility for your own results. Don’t credit luck, good or bad.
• Stretch past your limits on a daily basis. That’s how you grow and evolve.
• Don’t wait for perfection; do it now! Perfection’s the enemy of good enough.
