I was just having a conversation with a friend of mine about motivation. We can literally do anything with motivation. So I was thinking what actually sparks motivation? What is that little umph that takes us from inaction to action. (btw.. love this quote, "the only difference by try and triumph is a little umph :D). I've really been in the inquiry of this the past couple of weeks. I agree so much about the role integrity plays. Simply put, integrity is doing what you said that you would do when you say that you'll do it. Often easier said than done! I think the key is really a state of BEING... who do you have to be to honor your word (even if it's to yourself!).. always hardest to keep your word with yourself. I've been seeing how integrity seems to be that little 'umph' from inaction to action. I dunno.. maybe something even more but here's what I've noticed... I mentioned in a recent blog post about my 100 day challenge. I've committed to do some kind of physical activity every single day for a 100 days. The bigger game of that is, who do I actually have to BE to pull it off. And, it also comes down to an integrity thing... keeping my word that I will do what I say that I will do. I have to BE my word. I have to BE determined, unstoppable, unreasonable, unwilling to let anything keep me from going out the front door every single day.. just to name a few ways of being. Then I have to look at who I'm BEING if were not to do my day of physical activity. I dunno.. I've thought so much about motivation and why it is that have it and why it is that we don't... I think integrity is a huge part of it but it still feels like there's something else in addition that makes the motivation switch go from off to on. Thoughts anyone??? - Darcy Volden Hoag Sat, 16 May 2009 08:24:06 +0100
