Motivation – Do What You Love

Do you lack motivation to:

Play golf

Play guitar

Play football

Read novels

Do anything you really enjoy?

I thought not.

Somewhere, sometime in the past, society decided that we need to work on boring, day-to-day activities in order to get by.

This “rule” has been perpetuated and we are brought up and taught in schools that we have to go to work to earn money. We are programmed to live our lives believing this to be the only way.

“”It’s outrageous and a downright lie!”

Yes, we need to generate a living. Yes, we need to have enough money to provide for ourselves and our families, but no we shouldn’t just go to work for that reason.

How many people hate their jobs? I can’t begin to count the times I’ve heard that phrase. Are those people motivated to work?

Our goal in life should be to understand what we really love doing and find a way of making that into a business. We should go to work for the satisfaction of what we do.

Surely like me, you want to spend your days doing what you love.

At the weekends do you really do things you don’t want to? Doing what you prefer to do is what life is all about!

There is nothing but pain and drudgery if we are compelled to do something that we don’t like or that we’re expected to do.

Would it be hard to maintain a positive attitude and stay highly motivated if every day you woke up in the knowledge that you were going to do something you loved?

So there’s your challenge. As you create the lifestyle of your dreams focus on what you love. Build your life around that and you’ll be healthier, wealthier and any lack of motivation will be a thing of the past.

OK, OK, I hear the complaints…

But this, but that.

But “what if it is possible to do what you love everyday?”

Use that as your starting point and focus on the positive and you CAN & WILL find a way.

Focus on the impossible and it will be just that.

Go on, do what you love.
