To Be A Lot More Self-Motivated

Daily writing prompt
What is one thing you would change about yourself?

Pure and simple, I would like to be more self-motivated regarding any projects or training. This can involve finishing the book I started writing, signing up for a marathon and training, or advancing in web development to further my career. I want to keep pushing forward because the reward at the end is worth it.

My brick wall going forward is when I see how much is needed or how long the ride would be. I think of the phrase, “life’s too short,” and use that to talk myself out of doing something that I would’ve enjoyed if I did try. This would be where I need to keep myself in check and realize that these things won’t fall on my lap. I will need to push myself to get where I want to go because while I have support from family and friends, it’s up to me to get to the end.

By extending my plan here on WordPress, I would require the motivation to continue with my blog. I have three years of BYC Connection and want to keep it consistent here! We have Bloganuary next month, which I will be participating in for the second year in a row. So, that’s something to keep me motivated to write here.
