We all know that in order to achieve success, we need to have a strong motivation. But what fuels motivation? Well, the answer is something that fascinates you or object of your fascination; this is a source of motivation. For example, you want to live in a bigger house; let that house be your motivation. If you want to have a better job, let that new job with bigger paycheck be your motivation. Or perhaps you want to have more free time with your family, let that be your motivation. Everyone needs a nudge to propel them forward.

Of course, motivation alone is not enough to be successful; you also need knowledge, skills, persistence, perseverance and more importantly focused and massive actions. However, the biggest obstacle to being successful is the lack of motivation.

To increase your chances and achieve success faster; never lose sight of success. Always keep the focus on your goals and visualize that you're going to get what you want in life one day. It's not hope and it's not a wish either. It has got to be a FACT. When you think success is not just an option but a fact, the faster you will achieve the success you want.

For example, if an Olympic athlete wants to get his or her medal; he or she will be going through an intensive training every single day and visualizing himself wearing the medal. It has become an object of the athlete's fascination. It motivates the athlete to move unwaveringly towards his goal.

Another good source for motivation is to surround yourself with success-minded people. Regardless of how positive or motivated you are, you are still susceptible to negative influences. By surrounding yourself with successful people, they not only can help to motivate you but also share positive thoughts and experiences. This will help you achieve your success faster. Stay out from negative people.

Reading a self-improvement and self-motivation book is also a good source of motivation. Get a notepad, cut and paste pictures of people or things there that can remind you of your goals. This will remind and allow you to smell success every time you flip the pages in your notepad.

There are many sources you can use to ignite your motivation for success; this article only highlights a few.
