> Question of an USER of ASSERTIONS: "How do I stay motivated?"

ASSERTIONS -for more success in life-

Staying motivated can be challenging, but it's an essential component of personal and professional success. Drawing from the knowledge in the provided materials, two relevant assertions can be employed to address motivation challenges:

Assertion 10H (Happiness): "Many pursue their goals forgetting their luck…."

• Real-Life Example: Imagine someone who sets a goal to run a marathon. They focus so much on the rigorous training schedule that they forget to appreciate the journey – the beautiful mornings, the improving fitness and the joy of achieving smaller milestones. Remembering to appreciate these moments can reignite motivation.
• Metaphor: Pursuing goals without appreciating the journey, is like climbing a mountain with your eyes fixed only on the peak; you miss the beauty of the climb and the small victories along the way.

Assertion 9H (Happiness): "See yourself as a loser and you will probably lose... See yourself as a winner and..."

• Real-Life Example: Consider a student preparing for an important exam. If they constantly think they’re going to fail, their motivation to study diminishes. But if they envision success and see themselves doing well, their motivation to prepare effectively increases.
• Metaphor: Self-perception is the wind beneath the wings of motivation; see yourself soaring and you'll likely rise, but envision a fall and you might just spiral down.

ASSERTIONS -for more success in life-

Certainly! Let's delve deeper into Assertion 9H from the Happiness category, which states: "See yourself as a loser and you will probably lose... See yourself as a winner and..."

This assertion highlights the power of self-perception in influencing outcomes, especially in the context of motivation and success.

Expanded Explanation:

• Self-fulfilling Prophecy: This assertion is closely related to the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you view yourself negatively, as a 'loser', it can lead to a defeatist attitude. This mindset can cause you to unconsciously make choices that lead to failure, as you're already convinced of the negative outcome. Conversely, seeing yourself as a 'winner' can boost your confidence, drive and resilience, leading to behaviors and actions that are more likely to result in success.

More Real-Life Examples:

• Professional Scenario: In a workplace setting, an employee aiming for a promotion might initially feel underqualified. If they dwell on this feeling, they might refrain from taking initiatives or showcasing their skills. However, if they shift their mindset to see themselves as capable and deserving, they may take on more responsibilities, speak up in meetings and demonstrate leadership, thereby increasing their chances of getting promoted.
  
• Personal Development: A person struggling with public speaking might avoid opportunities to speak in front of an audience due to fear of embarrassment (seeing themselves as a 'loser' in this context). However, if they start to envision themselves delivering a successful speech, they might be more motivated to practice, seek feedback and gradually improve their skills.
  

Metaphor for Expanded Understanding:

• Consider self-perception as a lens through which you view your capabilities and potential. If this lens is clouded with doubts and negative thoughts, it distorts your view, leading to missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. However, if the lens is clear, filled with optimism and self-belief, it magnifies your strengths and opens up a world of possibilities.
