Quote of the day:
No motive is pure. No one is good or bad-but a hearty mix of both. And sometimes life actually gives to you by taking away. -Carrie Fisher
Where do you go to get inspired when life seems to be overwhelming?
For me, I've learned to always take a step back to re-think, to get a clearer picture, to try to eliminate the unnecessary elements, and focus much more on the most important of things.
Often times this works. If nothing motivates you any more, take a step back to try to figure out why you are tired. It will help you be more open to finding a solution. Remember, that there will always be things you can't fix, issues beyond your control, friends you can't keep...and so on. Keep it moving.
If everything else fails, sleep more, exercise, find a new hobby or job, go on vacation, find a new cause, join a support group, and so on.
All in all, I've learned that motivation must start from within. Keep making progress daily!
What motivates you?

Similar motivation. Chocolate no 3, my mama no 2. And the fear of failure no 1, can you believe that?

I get my motivation from my God. When I feel like collapsing and giving up, he is the one who pulls me through or gives me a reason too. Also, keeping organized and busy helps me as well!
ReplyDeleteMotivation is only possible when the fear of failure leaves your side.
ReplyDeleteI m personally on a mission to prove myself to my family... I guess that's about enough for me :)
Pamela, I am glad that you do a lot to keep yourself motivated by surrounding yourself with what works for you, good stuff!

Sanaa, I agree, with the fear of failure gone, motivation becomes even more plausible. Thanks for that!
