What motivates me?

In life we need motivation to get us through the days, as there are definitely mornings when one wakes up and really does not feel like getting out of bed especially Monday mornings. However you are able to get up, put on your slippers and start your monday morning with the thought that the week will be filled with challenges, successes, hardships and great learnings. Each individual is motivated by different sources this is what makes us unique. The first 10 sources of motivation for me are:

1. Friends and Family -They inspire me to do great things, encourage me to overcome challenges and most importantly teach me new things regularly.

Can you remember getting a gold star?

2. Recognition -Getting that pat on the back or mention when I have achieved or overcome a challenge or passed an exam.

Graduation

3. Success - Personal success, working towards a goal and achieving it after many tears, late nights, hardships and sacrifices.

4. Ability to dream - The realisation that one really can achieve what you put your mind too even if it means closing your eyes for 3 minutes a day, day dreaming whilst you take a break from the rut of your day. Think beach, cocktail, sun, sea and holiday

5. The need to make a difference-Some of us have a need to make a difference in society whether it be helping out at the local soup kitchen, reading to the aged or tutoring at the local high school. Giving back, motivates one to be a better person as cliched as that may sound, once you see and feel the difference you feel motivated to do more and get others involved.

6. Music - Lyrics and beats motivate me in the morning to get out of bed or whilst having a bad day lyrics have the ability to change my mood in a positive way even a little eminem can make me smile.

7. Shopping - This regular activity allows me to de stress, having some ME time and embracing the creativity and beautifulness of clothes, shoes and everything girly.

Sweetness

8. Food - I absolutely love eating, trying new restaurants, new dishes, how food links to certain cultures,        pretty drinks and the company that comes along with it.

9. Travelling - Seeing the world and experiencing cultures, different ways of living motivates me to want to see new countries, learn new languages and just live.

10. Relax - Taking time to sit back, read, refresh, not concentrate and just embrace the beauty of natural sounds motivates me to enjoy the simple things in life.

We can find motivation in so many aspects of life its really just up to you to discover what truely motivates you to be the best person that you can be and enjoy what life has to offer.
