Where to get motivation for ourselves

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by KC TAN, Apr 18, 2007.

    There have been a number of webmasters seeking for advices on how to get ourselves motivated at times especially when everything seems not working..

    I find watching some inspirational clips do help in energizing ourselves and get us back on track. The following is one of the great inspirational videos that I would like to share:

    Of course, watching clips alone may not help and hence, I have posted further useful tips in my online income blog on motivating ourselves :)

    Please feel free to comment and let us know if anyone has other great ideas for motivation :D

    I agree, it can be difficult trying to stay motivated. For myself I find it's sometimes an ongoing battle.

    Things don't work, I get discouraged, try to get motivated again. Then, things mess up, and it becomes a vicious circle.

    I do have a great book called Attitude is Everything, which helps, but mostly I find talking to a friend who is also trying to make things work encourages both of us.

    Yeah... it's normal for people to feel some burn out. I think a little break and a little motivation is important for everyone.

    Hatred always works for me, hatred of man, hatred of society, hatred of constant blithering blubbering bobble heads on the news, hatred of ignorance, hatred of inefficiency... that's what always gets me motivated to continue my quest to take over the world. That and Russian Folk Music.

    Korobeiniki, Kalinka, Katyusha... those are my top three favorites. And I can listen to them all night long because the Russians have made... 1,000 versions of each, ranging from old-style folk to techno! This is music that keeps my brain moving because I can't understand a word but can feel the song's meaning and style... also when any of them feature Ivan Rebroff it is a treat.

    Oy polnym polna moya korobushka...

    When I'm de-motivated I just take a day or two off, then work out my priorities and try a new angle. I'm not all that into motivational videos - I think the cynic in me gets even more de-motivated by them.

    Just walk down the street and look at what everyone else has to do to earn a living.

    If you're alive, and "working at home" - you're winning.
