How should I motivate myself to strive all the time ???

You don’t need to strive in life, if you are self-motivated. A motivated person either wins or learns new ways to win from a situation. He never fails. He sees every opportunity as a platform to learn. He looks for useful information everywhere he goes. He has an open mind set and doesn't make random belief systems. He has the courage to explore and invent. He never fears of the end result.

But the question is – How should you motivate yourself?

The foundation for motivation is, “motivation should not be outside in; rather it should be inside out”.If you get motivation from an external source, you are depending yourself on something which is not permanent.

Let’s say the thing or the person who act as the source of motivation for you goes away one day, what will you do? Will you get de-motivated in its absence? Obvious answer is yes. And in such situations you tend to replace it with something similar, which is not easy to find.

However, there could be an internal source as well which can be your source of motivation. Your belief systems, desire to achieve something or even your positive attitude for external world could be your source of motivation. It is often said that a person is not paralysed physically; he’s mentally paralysed. When you have the highest belief and you believe in it, you end up creating your path which leads you there. You don’t need someone to come and motivate you and say good words. You can tell yourself that you can do this and that you know the way as well.

At this moment, after discussing the need of internal source of motivation and reflecting on strong belief systems as one of these, you may think of what makes a strong and right belief system? Answer to this is very simple- it lies in your roots. When the root cause of everything you think and do is correct and clear to you, you enhance your internal motivation. Knowing every thought process of yours help you frame your belief system. You daily actions form a pattern in your life. And these patterns start leading you at one point of time. Eventually you realize that you don’t lead your life; your patterns are leading your life.

In all this, we observe that our conscious mind has stopped working. Our patterns of life have become so strong that they rule the conscious mind state as well. In other words I may say that “the subconscious mind is leading the conscious mind as the conscious mind is not conscious”. Change your mind set and start valuing the right belief system .When you value somebody’s value system, his value system becomes your value system. Start valuing the right belief system.

When you develop the right belief system, you are safe in your own safe hands. Whatever be the circumstances, you will be mentally strong and you can work as per your choice. Be the example people will follow. Just change your pattern and your world will change accordingly.
