There are specific methods to improve motivation for goal attainment. It's focusing more on the benefits of the goal versus the goal itself.

Particularly the following:

1. Why is the goal so important? Or what's the purpose of attaining the goal.

2. What empowering emotions can you integrate into achieving the goal.

3. Making the goal a win-win-win. Win for you, win for the other party, and win for the greater good.

4. How can you make this into a challenge? Not too much of a challenge that it's overwhelming, and not too little that you're bored.

5. Identify the consequences of what may happen if you don't achieve the goal.

Hope this helps!

There are four other factors involved in goals that can increase motivation by 25% or more: I will be grateful to understand these 4 more factors that result in an increase in motivation, which I agree is a fluctuating phase in ones life. Thanks.

Acknowledged. However, Purdeep, as part of my personal growth, I place less emphasis on motivation than on discipline. I submit that for me motivation passes by as soon as the specific goal is achieved. I tend to be more challenged by discipline. Does that make sense? Thanks. Regards. Jas Butalia.

Absolutely. Discipline is the second most important trait and is very effective for consistency.

Motivation can be very effective for creativity, flow, and higher states of performance.
