Motivation

 I often get asked, ‘Why did you choose New Zealand?’ Well I could start by saying that my parents think it is a safe place to be in, people are friendly and also how beautiful this place is. All those facts are true but I would just like to add more facts into it.

New Zealand certainly has contributed a lot to my life experience and I would like to share one factor with you. If anything, NZ has made me ‘motivated’.  I remembered my first part time job started in Palmerston North as a kitchen hand in a food court.  I also remembered the feeling of earning, the first NZ$28.50 in my bank account. I was very motivated to earn, learn and experience what NZ has got to offer me.  Six years ago, I could not even imagine myself working in the office environment because I did not believe I could do it but because I was feeling very motivated that I set a goal where I want to see myself in 6 years time. Well, now I am here where I want to be and I have definitely proven myself wrong. 

So what am I trying to say? It’s hard to feel motivated or to even maintain that feeling but you got to have a starting point and a goal. Once you start, you are already motivated. While you are feeling motivated, remember to write down your goals and what you want to achieve in your life. Even if it is short term, long term, be in 2 days...whatever it is, just write it down
