Keeping The Drive And Motivation You Started With
I've been at this steady now for about a month. Before this I had tried many other times to make something happen but as I've said before in other blog posts this time is different. I just keep repeating to myself all the reasons why I will no longer settle for the life I had.
It's easy to start something, it's much more difficult to keep doing it when the fire of new sensations wear off. For some of us that moment happens a week after they start and others can make it months before they start to feel burnt out. No matter when it happens, it happens.
The key (or so I'm finding for myself) is to have a center of motivation that you return to when things get tough or stale. A mantra that you repeat to yourself during these times that will remind you of everything you want and why you're doing what you're doing. Keeping those things in mind is paramount to your success.
Some people use the motivation to escape harsh financial conditions. Others use the drive to prove naysayers wrong. No matter what you're motivational force is, keep it alive and burning bright as best you can. We are ALL capable of doing that, though it's easier at some points than others. But we can ALWAYS push ourselves to find that center of motivation and use it to keep going.
I hope you all have identified a strong passion point in life. I know I've finally found mine. Let's continue to prop each other up and help everyone here at WA to find their success...whatever that means to them.
Cheers!
Christopher

I remember saying to myself " I no longer live small" and this is when everything starting really taking shape.
Awesome post-Chris, thank you

Great question, Chris! Short answer for me is no. There are good and bad days as with anything, I'll succeed here when it happens. I have other successful ventures where WA will fit nicely in with, so I'm absorbing things and enjoying the ride, my friend!
