Keeping Motivation

[atowers]

Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.  ~Author Unknown

We've all got dreams, but what makes us wake up and start working towards them? Life is full of imperfections and unexpected circumstances.  The question is when you get knocked off of your course, what can you stop and think about briefly that has enough power to make you stand up, brush yourself off and get back on course?

Most would say "money" or "getting out of debt," but yet so many do not succeed in their ventures, which tells me that money alone is not enough.  We need money to buy the necessities in life in order to survive, but that's not what makes us happy and look forward to each new day.  

Having a strong "why" is *very* important .  Identifying a strong desire or a key problem in your life that makes you take action on a consistent basis will be part of the backbone of your success.  This "why" should be strong enough to carry you over the toughest obstacles, tough enough to see you through when rocks are thrown, solid enough to build with those rocks, and durable enough to never weather or wear out.  

What motivates you?
