How to Get Motivated to Make Life Changes
Really what you need is to find that thing that lights you up! If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking.
When you feel that burning itch to get into something. Grasp it and start now.
“Once again I hear of somebody
who is going to settle down and do their work,
painting or writing or whatever,
as soon as they get a better light
installed, or as soon as they move to a new city,
or as soon as they come back from the trip they have been planning,
or as soon as . . .
It’s simple: they just don’t want to do it,
or they can’t do it,
otherwise they’d feel a burning itch from hell
they could not ignore and “soon”
would turn quickly into “now.”
