Motivate Me: Small windows of opportunity every day

Motivation should be easy. We should be able to motivate ourselves to do what we know needs to be done and achieve our goals quickly and easily, after all they are OUR goals and not someone elses, so why do we procrastinate so much over the things we say matter to us.

Some days it seems like we are running around doing everything for everyone else and getting nowhere fast. I'm sure you know what I mean. We have such a small window of opportunity to do "our" own thing, that it can seem like we get no time at all. If you are like me, you work, you have  a home to clean and maintain, kids to look after, homework to supervise, dinner to cook - and still find time to do what we want to do.

Remember, we do not live forever. Our lives are short, even at the longest, so what do you really want to achieve? What plans, goals and aspirations do you have? And what have you done today to work on those same things? Because if you don't find time today to do those things, when are you?

It may seem harsh, but we are really working towards our own DEAD lines, that we should not waste a single minute. Not one.

Knowing what you know now, are you still happy to sit in front of the television and watch other people live their lives? Living their dreams? Whilst you sit back and watch them do it?

So if you are ready to move forwards - one word of caution - you can get faked out by being busy. So - do not fill your day with "Stuff" pretending that you are getting on. Work out what your goals are, but once you think you know - then ask yourself one question - why do you want to achieve that item. If your reasons are wishy washy vague statements, then the results you get will be vague and wishy washy vague also. So do me a favour - get specific - very specific because then there is no doubt.

And as you know by now, if you are anything like me, you will have very small windows of opportuntity every day to achieve those items, so you cannot afford to waste any of them.
