The Truth About Motivation

Motivation is important to success.  In order for you to do the things you need to do to succeed and get off your butt and make them happen - you have to be motivated.

But, contrary to popular believe motivation does not come from watching a video or a speech or some sort of external source.  These things can energize and create a feeling of motivation that is short lived, but lasting motivation, the motivation that is needed to really succeed and do it consistently, come from one place.

Within.

The only way to consistently succeed and keep going in spite of all the challenges put in your way is to motivate yourself.  But, how do you do that?

It's simple.  You make the choice every day.  You make the choice every day that you are not going to be stopped.  You make the choice every day that you are in control of your own destiny (aside from God).  You make the choice to keep going and overcome.  You make the choice to reach your dream and live it, breath it, love it, and all that comes with it.

When you make the choice, you wake up with a purpose, a mission.  You know where you want to go and you figure out and take steps to get there.  Because you know the reward that waits for you.  And when you do this, you don't need outside motivation.  You don't need a speech or a video, because all the motivation you need came from the choice that you made.  The choice to be great and reach your goal or dream.

So make your choice, let it motivate you, and go after what you want today!
