Motivation is the drive you have to make things happen, it is what pushes you to act. However, staying motivated isn’t often easy.
You find that you are fired up to crush your goals after you’ve set them. But after a few days, weeks or months, you experience some setbacks because you are no longer as motivated as you were when you started.
Sometimes terrible things happen to you or you wake up feeling sad or bad. You feel hopeless about everything and all you want to do is scream or curl and cry or even both.
I get my share of those days, while I don’t find them funny, I find ways to get through them. One or more of these will certainly help you too.

Different people dislike being alone for different reasons. Some just don’t like it because they don’t know what to do so they begin to feel lonely and start looking for company.
If you are one of those, have you stopped for a minute to think about the reasons others enjoy being around you?

Today, we are diving into the personality pairs mentioned in a previous post, the key to understanding yourself and the people around you. There I mentioned that besides loving yourself, knowing your personality type plays a huge role in understanding yourself and consequently others.

It is hard enough to get out of bed, what we don’t want to do is distract ourselves with things we shouldn’t be doing in the morning.
One of the worst things to happen to us is thinking at 6 pm “I had a busy day but I didn’t achieve much”….
“The hard days are what make you stronger.”

Do you have days when you feel zero motivation? You think about the things you need to do, yet you are feel no motivation at all. You really want to be productive but you can’t get yourself to do anything…
