I ran across a statement that challenged the concept of motivation. With simple habits such as watching TV or going out drinking every weekend, how does one stay "motivated" for these tasks? Is "motivation" simply habit or passion? I've watched countless motivational videos and while I am "motivated" during the video, I still go back to my same old ways. What do you do if you lack "motivation"?

Yes I do! Without motivation there is no drive. Without drive there is no success. Without success, you are just existing.

Motivation is a habit that you have to develop. I would consider it strongly linked to one's energy levels. If you feel like you have lots of energy then you are usually motivated to go do something. Unfortunately many people don't maintain those levels. (I'm guilty of that myself right now). Sometimes you just have to really push yourself a little at a time, and as you start getting back into the habit of being motivated then it will become much easier to maintain.

It's all about getting over the hump, which is extremely difficult at times. Thanks for sharing.

Motivation comes from within.

There maybe a time or two that a Sgt. has to help motivate you to do something better than your are doing.
