Finding MotivationIt really is the tricky part...
Whatever it is you are struggling to achieve.. Make today the day you decide to go for it!
There are many types of motivation. They all begin with a dream. Amazingly thats the first hurdle because we won't admit exactly what we want. At 50 or 60 we have forgotten the dream, it seems too big or silly. Sit down and think about or write about what it is that you really want. Paint that dream in your mind If you want to lose some weight be honest...You would love to be really slim again like when you last wore that red dress to the Christmas dinner at work. Imagine people asking you how you manage to stay so slim when all your peers are slowly filling out. Your dream is your most important project.  Your attitude should be one of a highly paid project leader. Taking our example dream of being beautifully slim. The first step in finding motivation is getting really inspired.
