Motivation is a nice idea, but it doesn't stick around. You're better off building small, sustainable habits that you can get used to doing no matter the circumstances. Because, motivation will leave you the second things get difficult. And in the real world, things get difficult almost immediately.

Motivation
Motivation is not something you can wait for, because it's not coming from anywhere but yourself. Motivation is not something you can count on, because it's only a flimsy idea. As it's only an idea in your own head, you can easily change your mind the second things get hard. It's best not to hope … Continue reading Motivation
Motivation
The thing about motivation is that it doesn't happen in ideal circumstances. Motivation doesn't wait until you're ready and feeling wonderful in order to assist you. Motivation comes from a choice to move despite not feeling ready or anywhere near wonderful. You have to start first, and then motivation kicks in to keep you going. … Continue reading Motivation
Motivation
There's no sense in waiting for some outside source of motivation until you can get started in achieving your goals, because that motivation isn't always guaranteed. Just get started anyway. You'll find motivation along the way, as you get closer to your goals. The more experience you gain and achieve, the more motivation you'll get … Continue reading Motivation
Begin
Usually, the hardest part of getting anything you want done, is the part where you begin doing it. That tends to intimidate people. They'll hem and haw to avoid the discomfort. And yet, nothing will happen until they finally just go for it, and begin. So, just begin. It's not going to be perfect right … Continue reading Begin
Willpower
Anything is possible, as long as you have the will to make it happen. You may not have the skills, knowledge, or tools yet, but that's only a temporary setback if you have the will to figure out how to get those things. That will is your superpower. It's your willpower, and with it, you … Continue reading Willpower
Response
The one thing that we are ever really in control of, is our response to a situation. Things may not always go in our favor, or according to our plan. Things may change abruptly, or they may refuse to budge no matter how hard we try to improve them. People may suddenly change on you, … Continue reading Response
Liberate
It can be so satisfying to purge old, unused clothes, knick-knacks and junk. Freeing yourself of all that clutter can make you feel like a brand new person, inspired to live your best life. Stale, worn-out thoughts and ideas can clutter your mind just as much as physical stuff does to your home. The best … Continue reading Liberate
Action
The greatest teachers of motivation all agree that action cures fear. In fact, I recently heard the host of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu, say that "Action Cures All!" Fear is an emotion caused by a perceived danger or threat. In other words, it is started in the mind. So the best way to counter that, … Continue reading Action
Look Ahead
I've always been happiest when I have something to look forward to. I feel energized with excitement when I have an upcoming event, a trip, or a goal to achieve. It's different from when I've just wanted to have something end. Wanting to be done with a class, or a job, or even just a … Continue reading Look Ahead
Each and Every Day
In a zoom meeting this week, we touched on the fact that sometimes you just want to veg out and do nothing, rather than face all the challenges coming up in navigating these uncertain times, while still hoping to achieve professional goals. Our coach, the meeting lead - ever the motivator - reminded us that … Continue reading Each and Every Day
Unconditional Love
Unconditional Love is one of those phrases that sounds so nice to say, and yet usually at that very moment we are expressing it, we don't really mean it. Instead, that's usually when we are placing conditions. Here's an example: "You have to know that I love you unconditionally. You just have to." In other … Continue reading Unconditional Love
Clean up that lens
"The world is so bright I gotta wear shades!" What lens are you choosing to see the world through? We all have our own unique worldview perspective, brought on by our default programming. This programming creates a filter through which we see the outside world. And based on this filter, our magnificent brains will constantly … Continue reading Clean up that lens
Loneliness
Do you suffer from loneliness? Or, do you enjoy solitude? People are only lonely if they don't like the person that they're alone with. So they need distractions. If those distractions are taken away, they feel the absence with a great sadness. They are lonely. But if you like the person that you're alone with, … Continue reading Loneliness
