Today someone asked me, "How do you do it?" Meaning how do I continue to get up every day and maintain a busy schedule. My first response to her was, "I just do it." After returning home in June from my summer trip to Europe I entered back into something I like to call reality: summer internship, part time job, a summer class, and finding time to study for class. One thing I suggested to my inquiring friend was to stop and say a prayer or motivational quote from time to time because it really helps me to make it through each day especially when I feel like giving up.
Since my friend stuck me with her question, my mind has been racing with the things that drive me and keeps me motivated.
My first element is self motivation. Having self motivation allows me to push myself forward. Without motivation I would not be where I am today. Sometimes you have to encourage yourself when no one else is there to do so. There are times when I literally stop and quote to myself, "when you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long." This quote helped me to push my way through college and it is helping me push myself in a positive direction that could be very beneficial when it comes to my career.
There is a quote and inspirational saying for whatever one may be going through therefore, I believe everyone should have some saying/sayings that helps to get him or her through the day.

My second element is believing in me. Believing in myself keeps me going. You first have to believe in yourself before anyone else can. This all falls down to believing that you can do anything you set your mind to. If you really want something in life you have to work hard and smart to get it.
My third element is confidence. Having confidence in yourself and the things you do can only make you stronger. Without confidence there is no motive and belief in whatever you are trying to do. Confidence says and shows a lot about a person through facial expressions and body movements. Always wear your confidence even when you have a little doubt about yourself.
What elements keep you going?
