When you feel like you have the blahs.
Nothing is going as you planned not
even looking at your hair when you get up
in the morning and realize it took on a life of
it's own during the night and you have an important
meeting in 30 min.

If you feel like your get up and go done got up
and went then maybe it's time to have that
long over due pep talk with yourself.
You are Johnny on the spot when it comes to
lifting other peoples spirit so how about lifting
your own?
How about smiling at yourself instead of that huge
frown you seem to wear like a badge of honor.

Sometimes our lives need a jump start.
A kick in the behind to get moving.
A stern talking too when you just want to curl
up and pull the covers back over your head
and sleep for another few days.
Sometimes we need to stop making excuses why
we can't do something and just jump in and
do it anyway.
Heck you might be pleasantly surprised at yourself
and your accomplishments.

Keeping motivated is like keeping your car filled
with gas and oil.
If you don't keep it nourished then the car just doesn't
go and you are left to use your two feet to hoof it.
If you don't keep your motivation nourished then it
to disappears and leaves you wallowing in laziness,
you tend to be grouchy cause you aren't doing anything
but sitting.
You just whither away on the couch like a dried up prune
wondering where did life go and why did it just pass
you by...........it didn't of course but you were too busy
with doing nothing to notice the world around you.

Motivation is great for getting rid of boredom.
It stokes the fires of imagination and discovery.
It helps you put one foot in front of the other and
face the day with a smile instead of a frown.
We all need a good big dose of motivation at times...
believe me.........I KNOW.

Anyway as you read this and you feel it's worth thinking
about then my words reached that little space in
you that needed a jump start.
But if you read it and find it boring and you just can't
get into it then my advice to you is GET UP,
GET MOTIVATED and for crying out loud ENJOY
LIVING!
