As I was thinking about this week’s topic, I started to wonder about the various things that motivate others.
Writing a “motivation” article each week can lead to certain assumptions on my part if I’m not careful.
Most people would love to be more motivated and inspired in their lives and careers, but my guess is that few ever stop to think about what actually motivates them.
“What’s your ‘why’?” has become a popular question over the past decade, but have you slowed down to answer that for yourself?
Is it monetary gain?
Family?
Freedom?
Career advancement?
It could be one of many things that truly motivates you to get up with energy and go about your days with enthusiasm.
The key to being motivated is recognizing what motivates you in the first place.
I can’t motivate people.
You can’t motivate people.
The reason is that it’s an inside job.
We may be inspired by someone for a moment, but sustainable motivation starts inside each of us.
So, what motivates you?
And if you know what that is, are you tapping into it consistently so you can experience life at a whole new level?
Do some thinking and reflecting on this and adjust accordingly.
Until next time, make today GREAT!
