I can’t imagine living a life without inspiration. When I’m inspired, I get excited; I have hope; I feel like I’m invincible.  I would compare life without inspiration to being like life without color.  The sky is gray, flowers are not vibrant, and everything is just drabby.  And because life looks this way there isn’t any real joy or passion.  In those moments when you need a little pick me up or a reminder of the many great things you have in your life, turn to the power of inspirational words and watch your attitude change!

Have you ever heard of the adage, “slow and steady wins the race”?  In many situations, this approach is sometimes true. The tortoise in the story of the tortoise and the hare won the race not because he was the smartest, fastest, or even wittiest. Rather, he won the race because he was so focused on the end result: crossing the goal line. Like the tortoise, you too have the ability to with the race.  Here are some strategies you can use to give you that edge, to stay laser-focused, and stay motivated so that you can achieve your goals.

If you ask me, I think the ability to stay motivated is a continuous event. It’s not something you implement once and forget. It’s not something that, when done, is performed the same way every time you do it. I believe staying motivated is something that you do often and the way you go about it changes based on the timing or situation. What do you do to keep yourself motivated?
