Motivation has always been a subject that has fascinated me. Why is it that some people, regardless of their circumstances, can stay energized and excited about life while others are controlled by their circumstances?
I think that one of the greatest challenges in life is to get inside our own heads, and truly understand what makes us tick. Self-motivation...what does it mean? There's a simple definition for a complex subject: Self-motivation is an inner drive that compels behavior. What makes it complex, however, is that little word "inner," because what works for me may not work for you, and vice-versa. There are, however, come common denominators; some basic fundamentals when it comes to motivating ourselves. It's these fundamental ideas, and some other things that have worked for me personally that I'd like to share with you. As we all know, it's not always what is said, but how it's said that can turn the switch from "off" to "on." One idea, if you're ready for it, can change your life forever. Just remember...people are like sticks of dynamite; the power's on the inside but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit. It is my hope that as you read this book there will be many "a-ha moments" to light your fuse, and keep it lit, through good times and bad. But here's the key...keep it close and read it often. Because as my friend Zig Ziglar said, "People often tell me that motivation doesn't last, and I tell them, bathing doesn't either, that's why I recommend it daily!"
