Who doesn’t want success for their children in life? Who doesn’t know that we need to remain enthusiastic and feel responsible towards goals if we want to succeed?

Why are parents worried so often that their children are not motivated enough or remain motivated to complete the important task at hand? Are we missing something here? Is there something else we need to know?

Motivation is based on feelings which keep changing very often; the way we cannot control our feelings, it becomes difficult to control motivation too.

So what do we do? How do we remain motivated and in-turn help our children remain enthusiastic and succeed? 

A little shift in perspective is required, a little awareness of what is possible is important. Maybe we cannot control how motivated we are like we cannot control our feelings. But I’ve got some good news for you, it is that we can control how to respond to our feelings. Feelings don’t change things but our actions do. Commitment is such a deliberate and consistent action which fuels progress and builds confidence.

NOW THE next and BIG QUESTION IS, what motivates one to stay committed? How, as a parent can we help our children to understand its value and motivate them to remain committed in every segment of their life?

– The big picture: We face issues to handle and take care of everyday, small battles to fight and while doing so there is a chance to get lost or lose our focus. But we can help our children with bringing clarity to their goals and the understanding that sometimes to meet the larger goals small sacrifices need to be made.

– The purpose: How does one know what the big picture is? It is important to be aware of what we need to do and why? To help your children with the same awareness and understanding, parental guidance is a must where they can find and own their bigger picture.

– Owning: As parents we need to help our children see themselves as architects of their own life in working on goals, help them understand that they are responsible for the results and the results they yearn may not be immediate but rewards are guaranteed. Clarity of core values help one own the bigger picture.

– Making the right choice: Life presents us with multiple choices and we have to choose one which matches our bigger picture. As parents we need to help our children by empowering them to make the right choices which align with their purpose.

– Opportunities: The one who is clear with their goals and know their purpose can make good choices and will keep actively looking for the opportunities. All we as parents have to do is help our children learn how to look for or identify one.

Success is not difficult because commitment allows people to thrive under pressure and keep them away from stress.

A very happy and motivated morning to you, may you get the right perspective to head onward and upward to your goals and find your purpose if you haven’t, today!
