How to stay motivated?

Frankly speaking, I have been asking this question to myself for few months now. The obvious implication is that I am demotivated. Without getting into details, let me summarize what happened to me. I climbed from being low to medium  height and then really high, and all of a sudden back to medium . This downfall was as bitter as possible, and have left me doubting everything I thought I was worth of. With time, I have been able to gather certain motivating thoughts and I will jot them down.

Lets forget the world. Just consider yourself. At each second of your life, you tend to find ways to be happy. So here is an approach to be happy. You are at point x in your life. You want to reach to point y. No matter how bad or worthless you are, you would always want to reach to y. There are two ways to reach to y. One is that, let me try to reach to y because I really want to reach there. I am disheartened and everything, but let me just try. The second approach goes like this: Here I am at x. I do not know whether I can reach to y or not. But how about I give it a nice try, and embrace with wonder everything which comes in between. Be ready to tackle all the challenges, but never forget who I am in my desperation to face them. The challenges can be in the form of a much better colleague, or me stammering while talking to my boss, or my inclination to show that you are inferior and I am better. No matter what you are, your next step is all about bringing a change in yourself by listening and talking to yourself. So follow the second way.

Well there it goes, my first personal post! A little bit on the dark side, but its a start.
