We're forever talking about 'Motivation' - "I need to get motivated", "I can't get motivated", "I'm feeling really motivated" and so on. But what lies behind said 'Motivation'? What is it that drives us to feel motivated or what is missing when we're not motivated?
Could it be 'Inspiration'? Inspiration is the key to your motivation! We all have things we know we 'should' do, and everyone is hard on themselves when motivation or will power is lacking. Inspiration is a somewhat romantic notion that puts a smile on your face, gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, or puts that fire in your belly that flows on to give you the motivation to do what you need to do.
So for me, the order is this: INSPIRATION the bigger picture - why you want what you want. GOALS (lets not forget about the nuts and bolts that join the other two together) the milestones you need to reach, big or small, to get you to the bigger picture. MOTIVATION the desire to complete the task at hand.
So find your inspiration and you'll find your motivation. Whether you're inspired to win a competition; feel super fit and healthy; look great, set an example for your children; start your own business; do something special for charity, remind yourself of your inspiration daily - stick it on the fridge, set a reminder on your phone, put a photo on your desk - whatever you need. It's the key to getting you motivated and feeling good about yourself!
