Lol I definitely don't need to be reminded of the fact that I am demotivated and not reaching my true potential. I'm aware of that every day.
I have my days myself where I'm not motivated to progress because it's comfortable to remain stagnant and not progress. Have to ask though. If you know you are not progressing, what's keeping you from doing so? What do you think it will take to move forward in your life?
I find writing down my goals which puts them into perspective helps and I look at them continuously to remind me. Remember thoughts become things, and you need to first control your thoughts before you are able to control your life. Think of what you want and before you know it, it will be. You really have to focus on what you desire though. Keep in mind negative thoughts also manifest. If you think of all the negative things, you will continue to fulfill that destiny, but if you focus on what you want to change, you will change, and your life will adapt. Trust me!!
