How do you motivate yourself?

How do you motivate yourself even to get to the stage of motivating yourself TO motivate yourself?

Any advice?

MustThinking's picture

A great new method for succeeding

Hi there... I have been asked that question a thousand times, that's why I just wrote a book on it. It's called Must Thinking: A easy four step guide to creating the results you want.
Creating results is not really that hard to do, it takes clarity, committment and action.
Clarity because you really need to know what it is that you want to create. You must see it clearly in your mind before you can create it in your life.
Committment comes as a result of being clear and having an understanding of the consequences of what happens if you do achieve the goal and what happens if your don't.
Action because, if you only think about it, nothing will ever be accomplished except you'll frustrate yourself... and others as well.
If you'd like to get my book, it will be released soon... keep looking for it.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
