Get off the couch!

Motivation is a funny thing. I've heard people say that folks are motivated in different ways. WRONG!

We are all motivated the same way!

When the desire for change exceeds your current comfort level, you become motivated to change. (that's true for everyone in every situation)

Let's break that down:

so If your desire for change is not strong.... Forget motivation! Why do you want to change? Is it a focused reason? Or is it some reason that someone else gave you and you're trying to accommodate them? (to motivate others you must first figure out why THEY would want to perform that task... NOT why YOU want them to do it)

Your current comfort level: if the desired outcome is not strong enough to change you, its probably cause you're comfortable where you're at! Your current/present position is good.

WHERE TRUE WISDOM LIES: YOU CAN PICTURE YOUR SITUATION 5 YEARS FROM NOW, AND DEFINE HOW COMFORTABLE YOU'D BE WITH THAT!

Think of where you'll be in 5 years in whatever area you want/need to change. If you keep doing what you're doing, are you going to have that desired outcome? If not..... There's your motivation!
