“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.” — Stephen Hawking, a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author
Curiosity, by definition, is the urge you feel to know more about something. Being curious helps you creatively solve problems in your personal life and at work. Curiosity and motivation go hand and hand.
curiosity is the interest in learning more about a subject
motivation is the desire to do something with that information
Curiosity is a form of intrinsic motivation where the fun or challenge moves you. You want to learn or explore something that interests you.
You can be motivated by curiosity because you feel like something is missing in your life; you are curious about new technologies, you want to understand your beliefs or assumptions better, or you are doing things for the right reasons.
2. Do What You Love

When you do something you love, you will be more creative and bring your best to work day in and day out. Doing what you love will help you stay motivated and succeed. Your love for your work will help you keep doing it even if you encounter challenges and setbacks.

3. Take Responsibility for Your Life
You can’t stay motivated if you don’t feel like you have control over what happens in your life. It would help if you took responsibility for your life. Taking responsibility for your actions is essential to developing strong relationships that create trust and dependability.
When you focus on yourself, you can make positive changes to help you reach your dreams. To stay motivated daily, you must believe you can make the necessary changes to succeed.
Taking responsibility for your life starts by realizing you can shape and control your life. We all experience hardships in our life where we feel discouraged. While we can’t control everything that happens, we can control how we respond.
Don’t let the “excuse trap” take over where you think of reasons why it’s not your fault. This will only keep you from reaching your goals.
4. Help Others
“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” — Charles Dickens, an English writer
Helping others will help you stay motivated. You will stay motivated to continue to do this when you see how many people’s lives you have touched by helping them.
Helping others will give you happiness that you may not have experienced before. This will motivate you to keep helping people. One of the things that motivate successful people the most is helping others.
5. Set Small Goals to Build Momentum
If you set small, short-term, attainable goals, you will stay motivated. It will help you overcome procrastination and build momentum toward your bigger, long-term goals.
“If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the day’s first task. It will give you a small sense of pride and encourage you to do another task.” — William H. McRaven, a retired United States Navy four-star admiral
Long-term success can happen when you build momentum from small wins in your life. Break down your bigger goals into smaller goals. For example, finding a new job is a big goal. Smaller goals include updating your resume, making a personal website, or earning a certification.
6. Surround Yourself with the Right Crowd
The people you hang out with have a significant impact on your motivation. If you surround yourself with people who are also motivated, you will be more motivated.
If you spend time with negative people, you’ll become negative.
If you spend time with positive people, you’ll have a good outlook on life.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Proverbs
The people you spend the most time with shape who you are and who you become. Find people who will help you become a better version of yourself and people who are focused on success.
The people you surround yourself with determine what ideas dominate your attention and what activities you do or don’t do.
7. Improve Your Mood
“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” — Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States
When you are in a good mood, you are more motivated. Your mood impacts your perspective of the world and influences your well-being. A good attitude will help you become more productive.
If you are in a bad mood, seek ways to feel better. You can feel better and strengthen your spirit in minutes by spending time in nature, watching funny videos on YouTube or TikTok, or exercising.
