Day Two

As defined by Webster’s Dictionary,

MOTIVATION : the condition of being eager to act or work : the condition of being motivated

Seems simple enough, yet I seem to have an incredibly hard time finding it. Maybe it’s because motivation is not a thing, it’s an idea, an abstract state of being. You can’t really lose something that isn’t really there. At least that’s what I’m telling myself today as I sit here on my arse at the computer instead of actually getting anything useful accomplished. Wait, scratch that, I’m writing, while not exactly useful it is getting something accomplished.

I know that there are things that I should be doing, things that I WANT to be doing, I’m just not. There is no concrete reason for not doing these things. I just don’t feel like it. That’s the kicker right there. If I continue to wait until I feel like doing something, I may never leave this chair again.

This year is going to be different. Like or lump it, things are going to change. I am going to make a conscious effort to reach the goals I am setting for myself. Rather than wishful thinking and then utter disappointment I am really going to try.  I think I might also keep a little pad of paper on my desk so that when I come up with an excuse for not doing something I will write it down. I’m guessing that after a couple of months it would make for a pretty amusing read.

Maybe I’ll post a few here and there.
