"Do you lack motivation?"
Does it grow tougher to quit smoking, to start that diet, to workout, get projects done or follow through on goals and decisions? If so, it's time to evaluate your self-motivation.
Motivation through negative self-talk, like, "I am so fat, what's the point in dieting," "I have to do this whether I like it or not," or "I will never be loved until after I reach this goal," may get you started, but it won't sustain you in the long run.
Motivation for the long haul comes when you learn to truly appreciate what you have already accomplished and value your previous successes. When you embrace this frame of mind, you'll find you're internally motivated to accomplish more. And, that can change motivation into accomplishment!

Am I selling myself short?
If you're not being treated with love and respect, check your price tag. Perhaps you subconsciously marked yourself down. Because it's YOU who tells others what you're worth by showing them what you are willing to accept for your time and attention. So get off the clearance rack. If you don't value yourself, no one else will either.
The joy of being you
Take a moment to feel, to sincerely feel, how good life is. Breathe in the magnificent possibilities of this unique place and time.
Fully experience the wonderful and amazing fact that you are here. You are alive and aware, and in a position to make all sorts of great things happen.
Right now, you have the opportunity for another magnificent day of being you. Life's immense goodness is yours with which to work.
Focus your thoughts on the good and valuable things that are. Focus your heart on the good and fulfilling things that can be.
Your existence in this moment, on this day, is nothing short of a miracle. Celebrate the goodness, and commit yourself to spreading it far and wide.
Feel the rich, authentic joy that is the joy of being you. Now, on this day, let it flow out into all you know, and see, and do.
