  1. My first rule to keep motivated is to avoid all negative vibes either they are people around me or some media news and even my own thought. I have a strict rule to choose one thing whatever it is and then stick to it. Blindly believe on it. Motivation only comes when you have a believe.

    Next step is to follow some quotes and make their life rules. No matter what happens, you have to always follow those rules.

    Third, even when I get some demotivation, I always remember if it can be any worse? If it can be, I appreciate myself again and keep pushing for next action. I never stop. I switched 6 jobs in 8 years to find my passion and I am still not willing ot satisfy. Never settle yourself is my last advice
