During our professional adulthood, when we settle into our jobs and the daily routine of work and home become all too routine; that motivation that once burned bright inside our hearts sometimes starts to dim and flicker. We start to think of thoughts like, "Is this how it's going to be for the rest of my life,” or "Where has the fun in my life gone?” When we reach the point where our lives start to normalize, we sometimes forget how to maintain our level of self-motivation and without that fire to keep us pushing forward to achieve even greater happiness and success, we start to allow our lives to become stagnate and without direction. We literally become robots to a daily and unchanging routine and this is not what I would call "complete-living.”

When I was Young I was full of Motivation

When we were kids, we were full of motivation. Why? Because everything that we did was a new experience. We were pioneers on that unexplored trail of adulthood. All the things we did—yes, even the bad things, were new adventures and that kept us always motivated to explore new territory. When we were younger, we saw life through young eyes that saw the world as beautiful and vibrant. As we got older, our eyes began to cloud and obscure that once vibrant world, making it difficult for us to focus on it. As part of our committment to ourselves, we need to wipe clean that cloudiness from our eyes so that we again can see that world as bright and beautiful as we did in our younger years.

So How Can I See a New and Vibrant New World?

In order to find your motivation again, its necessary to rediscover you past—to rediscover that which made you motivated in the first place. You have to go back to your roots and dig up those past memories that are lying dormant within you. How can you do this? The best way of doing this is by tracking down a long lost friend--someone who you shared something special with a long time ago. This could be a good friend that you'v

e lost touch with, or perhaps a long lost love. This in and of itself is the beginning of an adventure for you which will start the fire of your motivation to burn bright again. Bear in mind that both you and your long lost friend might have changed dramatically throughout the years, but if the bond you shared before was strong, then that powerful emotional connection will instantly send both of you back into the past and experience those emotions and memories like they were yesterday. The emotional energy that is exchanged between long lost friends is extremely powerful. It has the ability to make you feel young again and to ignite that fire that you had years ago. Most of all, reuniting with a long lost friend has the power to remind you who you are, where you came from, and what your direction and purpose in life is.

So start right now by tracking down someone important in your life who you lost touch with and start that adventure down memory lane in a quest to find your motivating fire to fuel the accomplishments that you will make for your future.
