"Let him who would move the world first move himself."
-Socrates
Motivation is key in this world. It's a factor in what keeps us going, in both the real sense and figuratively. Some days I feel it's all I can do to motivate myself to climb out of bed in the morning...other times I'm working on building momentum to initiate or continue with a big project in spite of road blocks encountered or hoops that need jumping through, because I know it's something I believe in.
What motivates you in life?
Socrates said "Let him who would move the world first move himself." What does this mean for you, how does this apply to your life? For me it means I need to move, or motivate myself to not only take an active part in my life but to take an active part in the world around me. By surrounding myself with motivating factors; whether it be pictures of my goals, quotes, or sayings I provide encouragement to pursue my dreams. And by surrounding myself with motivating support I can provide a net to catch me when I feel the going is getting too rough and those dreams, so important to me, seem out of reach.
Who/what are your motivating factors? Who weaves together your safety net of support?
