Last time we looked at the definition of the word motivation. The synonyms that resonate most with me are “drive” and “ambition.” I always think of it as an inner buzz. A fire that ignites in my belly and connects my vision with my ultimate goal. No matter what, in order to succeed, everyone needs to find his/her motivation. I thought it might help inspire you to think about what motivates you if I share the following about what motivates me.
What motivates me to:
Exercise: the knowledge that if my body is strong and capable I will feel better, perform better, and think better
Eat well: knowing that what I eat affects my gut, which in turn affects the function of my brain, immune system and body overall
Meditate/do yoga: the peace, inner strength and clarity it provides in a hectic world
Work hard: the knowledge that what I do helps people live better lives
Have fun: knowing that if I didn’t balance that with everything else I would burn out
Now I ask, what motivates you?!
