At times they are all so pumped up, motivated, able to conquer great heights and just anything, and moments later they start to feel pessimistic, as though they are sinking in a ship. Just because there are no apparent results doesn't mean you are not capable of doing and achieving something. It simply means you don’t have to let yourself too thin initially and start putting in more efforts along the path. Keep on insisting yourself so as to follow the course without fluctuations. "If it can't be done then DO IT!"
3. Walk Your Talk

One needs to start believing in himself before taking any apparent action.
Self-motivation should be of utmost priority, later come the encouragement and support from friends, family quotes and books.The path to success is always a lonely one, full of obstacles and challenges. However, what’s more important is that you will have a taste of success if you start believing in yourself and be fearless in whatever you do.
