how do you stay motivated and how do you motivate people when they start to slack now motivation is it’s kind of a strange word because it doesn’t really mean what we think it means we think it means that we’re fired up to do something we think that it means we’re eager and passionate to make something happen and we think that somehow we should just be able to turn on that eagerness and turn on that passion but we can’t because you just can’t turn on passion you can’t just turn on the desire to execute a task just doesn’t work that way and honestly that isn’t even what motivate means motivate doesn’t mean to yell and scream and encourage no to motivate actually means to provide a motive a reason why so to motivate someone is to explain to them why they’re doing what they’re doing how it will help them where it’ll take them why they should continue to work in the struggle and to fight and when you need motivation yourself look for someone to scream and yell don’t look for someone else to give you motivation look at you look at yourself and remind yourself why why you are doing what you are doing remind yourself that this struggle this temporary pain this fight this fight that you’re in this is what will make you stronger and faster and smarter and better and then with that motivation go forward into the fray into the storm into the heat of the battle where victory is forged
