Who’s in your ring of motivation?

Who’s in your ring of motivation?

Motivated people generally associate with other similarly motivated people.

As always, we are mindful of three insights:

  1. There’s an exception to every rule
  2. Be careful what you wish for
  3. “You’re not an expert” mentality

Motivation is tricky

Sitting at HQ, 6:26 AM, writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Motivation is tricky.

Why?

Because you need to find a million ways to stay motivated.

Generally, human motivation has a shelf life.

Why?

We get bored.

Our interest expires.

Our results go bad.

Others get ahead of us, frustrating our self-confidence.

Pro-tip: make your burning motivation to succeed – make it for someone else. My motivation is to be an example not a warning. Our son must see a true-life example of physical vibrancy at all life stages. And if he doesn’t see it from me, who’s gonna show him? Who’s he gonna trust?

Insight: Physical vibrancy is one-fifth of the recipe for personal vibrancy.

Make it compelling

Make it compelling.

What?

Peace?

Zelenskyy’s doing a Buddha-level job making it compelling.

My yin and yang needs a break from the negative.

If anything makes physical wellbeing compelling it’s an impossible goal.

Hiking all Summer in GNP is compelling. Maybe impossible too.

No slothful room

Proper sleep is not slothful. Not in a million years.

Fill each day only with physically vibrant habits.

Have no room for slothful habits.
