What motivates you - today?

Have you noticed, that what motivates you one day, may not have the same impact the next day or next week?

Why?

Well - there are lots of reasons, not least of which -

We lose sight of what is really important to us.
We get part way through the steps that should be leading us to our goals, only to find that we don't really want it  after all.
We haven't aligned our goals with our core values - namely what makes you - you? Consequently there is dissonance between what we say we want, and what we actually need.

So - if you "can't be arsed" to do what you need to do today then you should think about the points mentioned above, and then sit down and spend a few minutes to go back over the reasons. Remember the reasons are the most important - what reasons do you have? The more reasons you have, the more you should be inspired. I carry my life list with me. You know that list of goals and things I say I want to achieve - before I die. And if I am in any doubt about what I am doing I get the list out of my bag and I read the list again. Which usually prompts me to add a few more. If you don't have a life list, now is the time to make one, because on it you will see what you really want to get out of this life. Then you can determine if the reason you aren't motivated is because what you are doing now is not having any impact on what you should be doing.

So what's on my life list? Well - Pay off the mortgage, be carbon neutral, buy land down at Wyadup Bay and build a writers retreat, make my living from writing full time, do 100 push ups without stopping (girly ones first), learn the times tables properly, climb a rope, go to circus school and learn how to handstand properly....

Plus all the trips I want to make, countries I want to see...

Take time out today and check your life list, you might be surprised. I know I was.
