I read a quote recently that I thought was inspiring. "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."  -Zig Zigler.

For a long time I have been confusing motivation with hype. I have felt that hype is nothing more than a tool that some people use to falsely motivate or drive people to believe in something. Hype requires a constant flow of energy and contact or the fool will loose the belief. Knowing this is why I have been confusing the two. I did not recognize that ‘motivation' can also look the same. Where hype is usually associated with something bad, ‘motivation', in the same basic form is usually associated with getting something done that you already want to do. See, I would get that hype feeling whenever I would be hit with that kind of energetic motivation. I didn't want it. But for some reason this quote made me finally realize that they can look the same. Obviously it depends on the objective.

I am learning more about attitude, motivation and happiness.

Isn't it interesting that you can hear something all your life, and one day the right person says it the right way or at the right time, and it clicks

Now, I think I will get more done.
