Motivation: Where it Starts?

If someone asked you, “what’s your motivation to make your life something big?” And he might continue to ask you “where it does came from?” What would be your answer? Some of us might say that motivation can be found everywhere. It can be read in books, watch in television, heard in radio and it can be found to the person next to us.

Yes it is true, but where it start? It starts from ourselves. It comes from within our mind, heart, spirit but it comes from us and it is our responsibility to bring our energy and passion into whatever we do regardless of our surroundings. Because amazingly enough, our surroundings usually change for the better when we are a significant participant.

Motivation isn't something you can conjure on a whim. You can't fabricate motivation, you have to foster it. Motivation is more of a result of doing something than it is a source to pull from. It’s a result of habit, routine, and doing.

If we look for motivation as a source for the desire to do something, we will be disappointed. We can’t will ourselves into motivation, we have to choose ourselves into motivation.

To discover something you’re passionate about, you have to do it. Doing something requires showing up, and showing up requires a choice. If we wait for the motivation to show up, we won't show up. We can only ever choose to show up.
