What is actual motivation? What motivates us? And an even better question; how do we become motivated when we are not motivated to become motivated? Motivation is what drives us, so how do we move forward during those times when our motivation seems to have skipped out on us? Now more than ever, the drive to keep moving forward is fleeting. There is one way that I know works; and I come back to it every time my level of determination seems to sink to new lows.
