Motivation Spirit

by Dr. Steve Tuggle

Maximizing motivation is the secret to living a consistently happy, fulfilled, and energetic life. The word motivation implies that we are moving forward. Our goal then becomes to maximize this movement and always keep it moving forward.
This is really a self-perpetuating cycle. As we move forward toward our goals we become motivated to keep moving. This motivation then spurs us on to higher goals. The enemy to this process is the state of being stuck. When we are stuck there is no movement and motivation diminishes rapidly. Life then becomes a great struggle.

Somehow, after all of my long hair fell to the floor, suddenly, I didn’t feel so enthusiastic about the whole thing. Oddly, all of the excitement and anticipation surrounding that grand moment, faded away. And I was left, looking in the mirror, wondering what in the world I had just done.
What’s my point? I’ll tell you. We all like the idea of change, but we don’t typically enjoy the actual process. Here’s the problem. All too often, we idealize the "outcome," but we never prepare ourselves to deal with the reality of the situation that precedes the outcome.
