If reading inspirational quotes motivate you, and even worse, if you are building your motivation from anything outside yourself, then you haven't found true motivation.

Why the hell else would I come to this website? Feeling blue, down, or whatever, this site picks me up. Especially on a Monday morning!

Stole this one from someone here: "To get something you never had, you'll have to do something you've never done."

But everything is me - there is nothing outside of myself. I am a part of everything; everything is part of me. Both and the same, all at once.

See if you can grok that for a bit.

"'Eat that frog' - Steven Covey, imagine if everyday you had to eat a frog (metaphor for the task that is important which you procrastinate to do). Scenario 1: If you procrastinate then your frog will haunt you throughout your day and you will not complete your other tasks with much enthusiasm and satisfaction.
Scenario2: If you do eat your frog first, you will have a certain surge of energy and enthusiasm thourghout the day. Also the other tasks will be completed in a better state of mind, satisfaction and less erroneous."

I did this today. I ate my frog around 6:30 in the morning (a difficult telephonic business discussion with a person living in a country where it was mid day). The result is: somehow, all my other works/tasks for the day are going very smoothly.

I first heard about that through Brain Tracy's Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done . I think he said he got it from Mark Twain.

Yes! you are right, it was indeed Brian Tracy and not Steven Covey who I was quoting. Thanks for the correction.
