find a role model then . I mean there are the hokey things like "listen to music" or "watch someone else beat people". Give yourself a benchmark to hit and stick to it. I really don't know you though so it is hard to just give general motivation advice. I mean I dunno I train because I like it and if you are going to fight you need to push yourself to the max because there is a decent shot your opponent is going to do the same. So my motivation is if I don't get better I know the people around me will be and getting your ass kicked around in a ring isn't pleasant. I don't like playing the "if I just tried a little harder...game" so I make sure that I don't. If I didn't like Muay thai though I woudln't do it because god knows there are easier ways to get in great shape.

P.S. I honestly don't know if you can train the, "never give up. can do attitude." It seems like if you really want to do something you will and if you are on the fence or hesitant you will probably make excuses to not do it. I mean a dedicated friend can help push you because odds are peer pressure will give you a bit of an edge, but even then to put in 100% and break through a barrier you are just going to have to dig down and do it because you want to do it. Thing is I personally don't train with any of my core group of friends so I don't know for sure if this is accurate. Typically when I start something I finish it unless I have to move for work or something like that and it just becomes impossible because I dunno maybe it was how I was raised. I just don't know if you can really teach tenacity is what I'm trying to say unless it is just ground into you from the beginning.
