Motivate to Accumulate…
Motivation seems to come and go for me, although I have covered a huge amount of ground in 2007 and I am find it easier to get motivated. The difficulty I face when my motivation is stuck these days is more due to the fact that I have so many projects on the go that I tend to create confusion and chaos for myself and I am still in the process of transforming my old habit of stopping and "checking out" when I find myself in that kind of situation.
Still, the fact that I have just acknowledged that is a step in the right direction. I am able to see it much sooner these days and ask myself why would I choose to slow down my own progress. If I know what I am doing and the effect it has on me reaching my goals (ie. slowing down my progressing towards them) then it is really hard to perpetuate.
Of course, life is about balance too and I need to know when I should simply switch everything off and go to sleep. Fortunately I will have no problem determining that today, seeing as I am finishing a nightshift in one hour and when I get home I know what I will need to do and I will be very glad to be reunited with my bed for the day!
I have been busy adding content to one of my websites, which I think has great potential. still no earnings yet, but that will come.
A personal landmark for me this week is that I have started to ask quality questions of myself everyday and I have stopped automatically saying things like "I can’t" and instead saying "How can I?". This is something I am having to think about less and less as the habit is becoming one which is serving me. I really do notice the fact that certain solutions, answers and certainly ideas are coming to me as a result. Not to mention a surge in the amount of music that I am writing, which is setting me up nicely for a particular project that I have promised myself will be officially live by New Year’s Day.
I’ll be including weekly personal landmarks from now on, so I will be getting into the habit of finding something that has improved in my life every week. Please remind me if it looks like I haven’t posted it any time in the future. Call me to account!

Sounds interesting Bradley. I’ll get in touch via email and see if we can talk something into existence. I’m so ignorant of terms such as meme etc… Seeing as I have a blog I should be more proactive in this area.
You see? Something to get motivated about!

Would you be interested in doing this as a group? I think it would be a good weekly exercise. Maybe we can turn it into a meme. Let me know what you think.
