Another thread made me wonder how others keep themselves motivated, in general. Do you take time for devotions/meditation? Do you read self-help/self-improvement books? Do you have a mentor that you "tap" into? What keeps you doing the things you do? . . .working for the things you think are important? . . . doing the things you don't want to but know you should?

Staying motivated takes practice. I find that setting new goals helps, that way I'm always looking forward to something and achieving what I set out to do. Reading inspirational books can be encouraging...helps to have a good attitude and stay thankful. Setting time aside for prayer and meditation is key. It makes all the difference. It's where I draw my strength from to make the most of each day. Having a mentor or support system makes life so much easier. We all need others for encouragement, direction, comfort, and companionship.
