Help for Me; Help for You

I came across this 6 tips for self motivation and felt it necessary to share...

1. Have a cause.

A life without cause is a life without effect.
Unknown

2. Have a dream. A big dream.

Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.
Karen Ravn

3. Be hungry.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.
Les Brown

4. Run your own race.

I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

5. Take one more step.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill

6. Let go of the past.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


Above all others you begin with this:

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
Andrew Carnegie

Solutions

I pondered and pondered my total lackadaisical attitude today and came up with a solution. WRITE IT ALL DOWN...So now I have a looong list of short term and long term things to do. I ran out of receipt paper before I could even come close to finishing the list...I'll finish it tonight before bed.

Damn..there's another one! Stop procrastinating!!!!

Once I complete the list (TONIGHT), I purchased a white board so that I can have it all written out where I will see it every morning. I'll have no choice if all of these things are staring me right in the face.

That is merely a temporary fix though. One of the items on my list is to rekindle my creative flame that used to drive me years ago. So, I'll be creating a collage of pictures and words that will be much more attractive rather than a stupid white board. ICK!

Problem solved :)

Sheer Laziness

I don't know what has happened to me...but I am one lazy girl. I can't find the motivation to do anything. When I say anything, I mean just about everything. I get out of bed at 10 instead of 8 now. I don't feel like cleaning or unpacking for that matter...I have fabulous photographers out the hoohah that want to schedule shoots and I just can't commit to any dates. I still need to get a super part time bartending gig to help with the bills. The examples could go on and on.

I want to be myself again...the girl that next stopped going.

Can someone please give me a swift kick to the rear? PLEASE?!

The small things...

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.
