Being motivated sounds a lot easier than it actually is. You can have all the desire in the world to change and become a better person, but when it actually comes down to taking the steps to do so, it is often a different story. So how do you gain this motivation? Here are a few tips:
1. Make sure that you have good role models and examples. Surround yourself with successful people as much as you can.

2. In your search for the desire to be motivated, one thing that will help you is to think of and list all of the things that having better qualities and attributes will positively affect. Here are some examples of ways you can convince yourself to be motivated: You could say to yourself: If I have more personal qualities and positive attributes, my life will be coming happier. My kids will be closer to me if I learn to be more patient and a better learner, My spouse will have less stress when they come home from work if I am a better at keeping a beautiful and clean house. Coming home to a well-kept and peaceful place will help them to see all the things that their hard work accomplishes. One of the best ways to get motivated is to contemplate the way that your good efforts will affect yourself and others close to you. Try making a list of all of these things. Remember why you want to change, and what the outcomes are that you are working towards.
3. One final and very important tip to help you become motivated to expand your list of personal qualities and positive attributes is to remember to make manageable goals. Don't take everything on at once because you won't be able to do everything at once and change yourself over night. The best way to improve yourself is to take small steps. Take steps that you are able to accomplish. If you try to tackle something too monumental and then fail, you will completely loose your motivation, and most likely begin to think that you are incapable of change. If you have a manageable goal that you can accomplish, once you do you will be incredibly motivated to keep finding ways to improve yourself. Your wish and desire to get better will spread to many other areas of your life.
Although it may seem difficult to become motivated to improve yourself, if you truly have the desire and follow these tips, it will be a lot easier for you. Set manageable goals for yourself, remember to surround yourself with good examples of others with attributes you desire, and above all remember why you are doing this. Remember your ultimate goals and the lives of those you care about to give yourself a little extra motivation to work with.
