„People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”  

 Zig Ziglar

Sometimes or often, we are looking for motivation. We need it to accomplish something (no matter big or small) or turn some corner because life isn’t straightway always. We are looking for it more often nowadays in these „hard times”. Motivational Thoughts can turn out as a swallow of the fresh air for us, but – damn it! What a hell the motivation is and where can we find it specially if times are tough?! OK, let’s dig bit deeper by such as „scientific approach”.

So, what the wikipedia.org says about motivation? „Motivation is the set of reasons that determines one to engage in a particular behavior.” Aha! That’s why I can’t waken on my workdays  ! If serious – if you haven’t reasons to do something, you couldn’t do this. Thus if you face with a thing you must clear but can’t find power for it you must find some reasons in YOU. None could do this for you because everyone has reasons itself and none can be in your boots. You must stimulate your motivation by all possible ways.

„According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, morality or avoiding morality.” „… basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure” – this is a trap for so many of us. We want to see maximum results with maximum efforts. Oh, shit! – Such a slim thing is motivation ! But we can be crazy like foxes too! We’ll just set up and concentrate on presumably smaller steps to achieve our main goal and will produce Motivational Thoughts to keep up our concentration.

I want to draw the line for today by positive quote of Napoleon Hill – „Thoughts that a human keeping in his mind and linking with some kind of emotions, producing the motivational power that managing and monitoring the life of that human completely.” (Sorry for translating, I read it in Latvian )

OK! That’s enough. I hope to receive a word from you! Following Zig Ziglars advice I’m going to take a shower now , aren’t you?
