"Recap and thank yourself."
After each day, it's important to review what you've done and give yourself a pat on the back. It's okay to bask in well-deserved praise, to dwell, for a moment, on your hard won accomplishments.
Remember, motivation begins with appreciation. Once you acknowledge the things that you are doing right, it's easy to feel motivated to try harder, tomorrow.
Gratitude is a great way to build those internal fires of achievement. So, be proud of the fruits of your efforts and thank yourself for a job well done!

Anything Is Possible
If there was ever a time to dare,
to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing,
IT IS NOW.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily. . .
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that's your inspiration,
something that's your dream.
You owe it to yourself
to make your days here count.
HAVE FUN.
DIG DEEP.
STRETCH.
DREAM BIG.
Know, though, that things worth doing
seldom come easy.
There will be good days.
And there will be bad days.
There will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up,
and call it quits.
Those times tell you
that you are pushing yourself,
that you are not afraid to learn by trying.
PERSIST.
Because with an idea,
determination,
and the right tools,
you can do great things.
Let your instincts,
your intellect,
and your heart,
guide you.
TRUST.
Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.
The start of something new
brings the hope of something great,
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Give a little kindness
Give a little kindness to the world today. Give a little kindness, and you'll see how it much it grows. For the kindness you give never goes away. The more you give, the more there is.
Even when it seems that the kindness you give is not being appreciated, there is real value in it. Even when it seems that it doesn't mean anything to anyone else, it means something to you.
Give a little kindness, and it will keep you positively focused. Give a little kindness, and it will help you to see a new world of rich possibilities.
Invest your time and effort in kindness, and there is no limit to the good it can bring. For a kindness, once offered, can keep on replicating itself long after you've forgotten about it.
And eventually that kindness, after going and growing through the many lives it touches, will come back to you. You may not even recognize it because of how much bigger and more beautiful it has grown.
