Staying Motivated: Associate with People Who Are Motivated

One of the best ways to become motivated, to reignite your motivation, or to stay motivated... is to associate with people who themselves are motivated or who you find motivating!

Motivation is the drive or energy force behind what we do... and when we are not motivated it is very difficult to achieve anything in life.  Motivation comes from within us and it also can come from others or external situations.

It's not unusual for our motivation to fluctuate from time to time... that's natural!

And a sure fire way to give your motivation a boost is to talk with, read, listen to, hang out with, people you find motivating.  In other words, associate with motivating people... and that can be through personal contact, listening to or reading about them on DVDs, in books, on TV.

Associating with people you find motivating has a profound positive effect on increasing your motivation by :

• reigniting your energy
• providing you with inspiration to continue with your goal
• providing you with a new perspective
• providing you with a different outlook

If your motivation is on the low side... ask yourself:

• what kind of people do you associate with?  Do they have strong motivation?  Are they doing or saying things you find boosts your motivation.  Many people we have close connection with actually lower our motivation... they may be negative towards your goals and dreams, they may have no goals or dreams of their own or they may have little enthusiasm in achieving anything in life
• what kind of books do you read?  Are they motivating?  Do they add value to your knowledge, understanding, and energy?
• What kind of media do you listen to or watch?  Do you watch "soapies", do you watch or listen to things that you can "veg out" on?  Do you watch or listen to things that inspire, motivate you or enrich your life in some way?
