Motivation, the ever-used excuse for why we never do things.   There’s a big misconception about motivation that I think we all need to understand.   It isn’t something that we need to rely on.   It isn’t something that only a certain few are endowed with (although some do have reasons to be more motivated than others).   And it isn’t something that can’t be cultivated.   You see, motivation is a feeling.   And like any feeling, it comes and goes.   When you feel motivated, you’re more likely to get things done.   So, it’s important we know how ..read more
