Motivation?!?!

[TrendSettersInc]

I dont know if its just me or not but does anybody believe after a long time studying and hearing motivational speeches, and seminars and seeing quotes you get kind of to a point where you don't care anymore and just DO?

I mean maybe its the build up of hearing them so often day in and day out that you apply them. I understand everyone has some fears and the thing to me seems that these bits of motivation are a very small part to the process, if your focused on some goal, the now is what will get you there so a quick motivation and then its on to the ACTIONS. Thats how I feel, they become cliche almost.

Motivation is a deep desire to do, yes.

The only trouble is we are confused sometimes with jumping up and down and screaming and shouting (which are examples of changing our mental state) with motivation (which is the energy and mental focus to follow through immediately).

There's motivation and inspiration. Use both.

Motivation is what drives you to do things. It could be out of pain or pleasure.

Inspiration is your uniqueness shining through, or your spirit. In-spirit. This is usually the culmination of all of your experiences, your current perspective, and your gifts and talents meeting to creatively solve a problem or create some form of art.

It's great to hear 'motivational' messages or a powerful story to keep your dreams alive, but as you've said, there comes a time to act or it's all for not.
