Catalyst For Success - By Saheed Badru

Most times, people begin a task or goal with great enthusiasm but some do not end up achieving thier best.You might ask why is this the result after so much effort and zeal at the beginning ? It is simplybecause such individuals fail to acquire the required catalyst which will drive thier reaction to thier dreams. As we know in science that catalysts speed up the rate of a chemical reaction, so we have catalysts that speed up the RATE OF SUCCESS. Do you really know what this catalyst is ?

It is known as MOTIVATION. Motivation is simply a process in which an individual takes suitable steps to boost his interest in something. Motivation goes a long way in inspiring you and taking you to your dreams. You must know that the best motivator is YOURSELF. Mentors, books, speakers, amongst others could be sources of motivation for you. But if you don't possess that instrument of SELF-MOTIVATION, you will end up like a wealthy merchant lost in the desert. Quite unfortunate!

In motivating yourself, you must first-of all discover yourself and know from the depth of your heart what you like best. Relate this to your desired goal and create ways in which you can make use of one to benefit the other. This could be aided with meditation and positive thinking. You have to be creative !

Moreover, make use of external motivators alongside your self-motivator. With these, you can create a combined effort. You must also identify LOW SELF-ESTEEM as an ENEMY and you must destroy it with every possible weapon. See yourself as an achiever having attained your heights. At the same time, do not dwell in a fool's paradise by inviting pride to your personality. In otherwords, strike a balance !

Also, INFERIORITY COMPLEX should be something you must give no room to get into your way. Focus on your goals and assist others but don't disturb yourself about other people's matters. Judging yourself by other people's efforts and goals is a waste of time. Focus on yours so as not to bring yourself down.

In addition, make sure you maintain a high level of consistency in anything you do because CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO PRODUCTIVITY. Being productive makes you an achiever not just a dreamer

Finally, put GOD ALMIGHTY first in everything you do and make Him your PRIMARY SOURCE OF MOTIVATION. I wish you success in all your endeavours.
