Life doesn’t live itself well. Like a ball rolling downhill, the default life takes the natural, easy, safe path. At the bottom of the hill lies mediocrity. Living well requires effort: to push past fear and engage with the world, to invest ten thousand hours in mastering a skill, to overcome inertia and become the person you want to be. The life worth living lies on the uphill path. And to ascend that path, you need motivation. A lot of it.
Get Motivated
.
Motivation can be positive or negative, can come from good things you want to move toward or things you want to move away from. A life with more positive motivation than negative is more open, engaging, interesting, and fun.
Focus on positive motivation.
