4 . The tricky part about motivation is not starting, but staying motivated. Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives.     1     Here are some common reasons why you’re losing motivation.

Not Aiming High Enough

While setting easy goals will keep you motivated, it may harm your long-term motivation.     2     If you are used to staying within your comfort zone, you’ll be missing out on the satisfaction of achieving a life-changing goal. When you push yourself, you’ll be able to build unshakable confidence as you achieve goal after goal.

Letting Fear Control Your Mind And Actions

    3     Instead of taking action and moving forward, you might get stuck where you are. You’ll unavoidably miss out on career and self-improvement opportunities if you don’t learn how to manage your fears. Fortunately, it can be overcome. One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear.

Facing your fear is the only way you’ll be able to become the best version of yourself.     4     Taking slow, thoughtful actions can have huge impacts on how you deal with your inside and outside world.

Unclear Vision

What if my dream isn’t truly my dream? What if I don’t succeed? If you have trouble creating a vision, then you’re at risk of drifting (漂泊) aimlessly through life.     5

5 . As the capital city of France, Paris has endured as an important city for more than 2,000 years. Take an overview of the top tourist attractions in Paris.

Place des Vosges

The Place des Vosges, formerly called Place Royale, was the prototype (原型) for all residential squares in Europe. All houses were built, using the same design: red brick and steep pitched blues late roofs. Not only is it shaped like a true square, but also it is the first city square planned by a king (Henry Ⅳ in the early 17th century) . Third, it turned the Marais into a fashionable spot in the decades before the French Revolution.

Moulin Rouge

1889is known as the year when France’s most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, was constructed. It’s also the year the Moulin Rouge opened its doors as an entertainment venue. It has been the subject of numerous films for many years.

Conciergerie

The Conciergerie was built to be the main palace for French kings who, over the centuries, enlarged it. Its Great Hall was one of the largest in Europe. The palace later became a tribunal (法庭) and prison, with famous prisoners including Marie Antoinette. Today the Conciergerie is a popular tourist attraction in Paris but also still serves as courts.

Palais Garnier

Architect Charles Garnier spared no ornate (华丽的) detail when designing the Palais Garnier in the 19th century. Perhaps this is why the building was the most expensive of its era. Seating nearly 2,000 people, the Palais Garnier is home to the National Opera of Paris. It is the star of the novel and subsequent films, Phantom of the Opera.
