Motivation

Scott Schwab
It seems that in the countries current situation and many of the things going on, that motivation is often difficult to find. We will not be speaking of politics or views in this blog; however, I feel it important that we pass on hope wherever possible. I feel that we live in a great nation and we have had great and not so great time periods. Furthermore, there have been situations that have literally brought people to their knees, (this time period being one of them). We will make it. Things will get better, and there is always ways to improve our current outlook. I believe that one way is to change our perspective. Another is to find things that motivate us. It is a fact that doing things that we enjoy creates endorphins. Another fact is endorphins are created through the process of working-out or getting some form of exercise. Knowing that is not enough though. With Motivation there are basically two forms when broken down. The fear of loosing which motivates us and the satisfaction of a reward. We must find inside ourselves which one we are. For example when you do something, is it because you are afraid of loosing or you are motivated by a reward? Whichever you are, by understanding you can use this for anything in life. So as it applies to working out, do you exercise to avoid getting fat, out of shape, and/or not looking good? Possibly we look at working out to gain years on our life, have a healthy heart, and/or look our best. Whatever the means, figure out how you tick and it can help by making effective goals and priorities. Motivation is the lifeline to all successes. I wanted to share something that motivates me every time I see it. It might be because I love the game of football, but I think it really applies to all of us who just feel like normal people, underdogs perhaps. However, when their is belief and hope, you can accomplish anything, including the greatest moment in college sports! www.apollosmedia.com/partybowl.wmv
