Are there moments in your life where you have felt more motivated to succeed than others? I think it is safe to say that we have all been there.


We have all been at places in our life where we have felt overly motivated and ready to rule the world, then there are other times where we have NO motivation at all; we lost that spark within us. If at this moment in time you find yourself as the overly motivated, ready to take on the world then you probably won’t continue reading this but if you ever get to that point again where you need a little spark, always feel free to come back :)

Being motivated is not really something that can be taught. But there are ways to help one find it for themselves.

So how do we find that spark of motivation? Finding that spark may be different for all of us but one thing is true, we all experience it (even if it is for a few seconds). Sometimes we just need a little external help to get there.

So right now take some time to ask yourself the following questions:

1.) When I close my eyes and think of myself happy, what do I see myself doing?

2.) When I wake up in the morning, what gets me out of bed?

3.) If I could change one thing in the world what would it be?

One of the keys to staying motivated is having a purpose. If we don’t have a purpose to what we are doing then we get to a point where we feel empty. This is why money can never be equated to success. If we focus on money and use that as our motivation, we are never fulfilled. Money can be a motivator but it should not be your motivation. To keep that spark of motivation going throughout your life, you must feel as if you are doing something with a greater purpose. For me, I am continually motivated by seeing the lives of the people around me changed for the better. I wake up in the morning and go out in search of helping one more person to fulfill his or her dreams. To give them an opportunity that will allow them to live the life they desire. That is what keeps me motivated day in and day out.

It is okay to have external things like money to motivate us on a daily basis but to keep that motivation, dig a little deeper. Find something that will not only change your life but also the life of someone else. Find your passion and remember to always – BU
