Motivation, Habit, Drive!


" Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going."

What motivates you? What drives you? What keeps you going?

Have you thought of this lately? What is it that encourages you to get up every morning and face another day? My answer to that... simple... count your blessings!

I know this is a cliche already but really... count your blessings! It is often that we rant and rave about what's going wrong, what's lacking and what we didnt get. We spend so much time with negativity each day. Try calculating the time you spend on being idle, lazy,sulking and the like and you'd be surprise!

It is said that 80% of what we worry about is usually nonsense and 20% is manageable?

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it doesnt get you anywhere.

To my friends and bloggers who would be reading this, I know all of you would agree that what Im saying makes sense... (If it doesnt, then bug off! Kidding! ) and I know you would say this is easier said than done, to count your blessings, stay positive, yada...yada...yada...

But that's exactly my point! I didnt say its easy but its DOABLE! Its not a farfetched idea! Its not even impossible.

The gravity of our problems may differ but it would always have a solution!

For us (and I say us, for we are a team here!) to know what's the best solution? Let's all try to... COUNT OUR BLESSINGS! Just be thankful for what we have, what we experience and embrace what's present! Start with a clear head and a healthy disposition and from there everything would follow.

Now here's the 1st challenge, start counting your blessings, reflect on them, write about it, celebrate it! Then ask yourself, does this motivate me? If it does, then proceed to the next challenge...

2nd challenge: Make it a habit! everytime you'd feel the negative vibes, count your blessings! do it as often as possible. practice!make it a lifestyle.

I myself, constantly struggle in doing this challenge so I am with you in this. Remember, I am just a normal human being who wants things to be ok too...

This doesnt happen overnight! But it can happen!

Because... Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going!

I wanna hear from you... share your thoughts!
