You will need to find whatever is the key to motivate you. That could be feelings of achievement, a desire to succeed (whatever success means to you), the attainment of a financial goal etc. For some people they are motivated by their own fear of failure.

It is essential to tie in your goals with your values. By that I mean finding out what “pushes your buttons” so to speak? What are you passionate about? If you can link these values to your goals then you will be motivated to persist even when its tough.

Eg – For medicine students, they study because they know that by learning they can save lives. Hope this makes sense…Heath
