How do you motivate yourself?

I mostly work for money or the hope of earning money. I also use writing to deliver messages I think are important and to influence people to discover a better tomorrow. I only do things like housework to stave off health department investigations and the house falling down around me. We all have to do stuff we hate whether we want to, or not.

I have dreams that I had stated out. They are been supported by long term goals which are been break down to short term goals . These short terms goals are translated into resolutions. My resolution every year is not pluck on thin air but based on the short term goals which in term support the long term goals to achieving my dreams. If I ever have no motivation, I will look at my dreams again and start to ask yself. Do I want to delay my dream for another year? I am no longer in my 20s. If I do not do it now, I may not get it done again.

I am very self-motivated, but with the aid of external motivators. The big one I use all the time is my girlfriend (don't tell her! lol). I always tell myself if I don't get this task or that task accomplished by a deadline, then I get denied the good lovin' I look forward to each night by my girlfriend. It works almost all the time! LOL
