Being Motivated

There is a lot of confusion and over thinking about motivation. It is simply an internal system of energy where a person intentionally directs that energy. We all have things that motivate us daily that we don't even focus on. We do them to survive. Survival is natural and good, just existing is being mediocre in a world full of possibility. This is allowing the world to dictate our motivation.

Motivation is linked heavily with inspiration. This is about the old adage, "Garbage in, garbage out." What we watch, read and subject ourselves to daily plays an important role in how you direct that energy, how you motivate yourself. It comes down to choice and how you want to focus energy. There are plenty of distractions that can be called important. That's a choice to put things like entertainment, procrastination, excuses, and fear ahead of your goals. I hang around with people who are high energy and motivated because that pushes me to live the same.

Creating motivation is not this hugely complicated formula that we need to discover or learn. You have the ability right now to set a goal, takes steps and do what is required to achieve that goal. That is called drive. Drive is what you have when you want to be motivated, personal choice. Habit is the enemy of change and we give too much power to these things we have the power to control. Small daily change is taking your energy and turning power in your favor.

Your alive and that's a darn good reason to be motivated. You are alive and have the ability to create the life you want and that is a great reason to be motivated. You have a mind of your own and that is a amazing tool you can use to drive the energy of motivation and not be at the mercy of societal conditioning.

Wake up each day with and idea in mind and chase it. Chase it with discipline and a passion that makes your heart leap with joy. Make the idea so powerful it just moves you along because your energy is flowing through and around you building your dream. That's being motivated.
