Motivation is the main fuel source that generates creative work and drives you towards success.
Much like refueling a motor vehicle before a long journey, you need to top up your motivation tank daily to take you to your goals.
The harder you work, the more motivation it will take to get you to the finish line. And, if you don’t refill your motivation tank, you will eventually come to a standstill.
I’ve had numerous days where I feel unmotivated to work, respond to client emails, or sometimes even get out of bed. This usually happens when I forget to top off my motivation tank.
Whether it’s watching a motivational video on YouTube, listening to a podcast, following your idol on Twitter, listening to your favorite song mix, or reading a chapter from a good book, you should always keep a source of motivation close by to refill your tank every day.
Keep a picture of your loved ones, whether it’s your mom, spouse, child, or even a pet, on your desk as a reminder of why you’re working hard today!
This is a reminder to refill your motivation tank!
See you next week!

This is so true! Thank you for drawing attention to this and giving such good suggestions. OBA Magazine hopes to help freelancers fills up their motivation tanks, because we’ve all experienced burnout as creatives.
