What motivates YOU?

Wow, I am impressed and jealous all at the same time with you guys. I can't think of one single thing that truly motivates me.

Stepping on the scale motivates me but in a "negatively emotional" way. It makes me crazy and frustrated and mad at myself.

I think I had better find some positive forms of motivation. Seems I am in a slump!

I like seeing the replies though. It makes me realize I NEED some motivation. LOL

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

I don't think you can think of what motivates you because it's right in front of you.  Every moment of every day even if not literally.  Here is what motivates you (or at least I think it is because all your posts ooze it):

Love
Family
Love of family
More love

Your motivation is so a part of the fabric of who you are you weren't able to separate it my opinion but trust me girl, it's there for all of us to see and be inspired by.

If it was a slap it was a "love" slap ONLY.  :0)  You are such gift to this board.....and of course your family...teehee....not like I'm selfish or anything and put myself first.....LOL.

Now stop sniffing or I'll poke you in the eye.

AWESOME REPLY
Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

Hey everyone,

Thought I'd try to start a fun thread....  What motivates YOU?  Is it a song?  Is it a video?  Is it pictures of your family?

Go ahead and share and, if you can, post the image, link or story here.  Please share what motivates YOU with us and, who knows, your motivator may become someone else's as well!

GD_007 MOTIVATOR:
NIKE COMMERCIAL - I am *not* a runner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0XhQlvNx-c)

This commercial, albeit meant to be funny, actually motivates ME.  Every time I want to slow down or quit my workout or when I'm tempted by those extra carbs I don't need - I think of this commercial, smile, and keep on moving/successing!! 

Hope you enjoy.

My motivation is all those around me, the failures and the sucesses.  The sucesses make we want to try harder, while the failures wake me up to say to myself, DON'T BECOME A FAILURE, STAY FOCUSED, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE". 

I have learned to be my own support system, no one knows how to make this work for me better than myself.  I have to keep my fire alive on my own.  I know that with repeated inner conversation with myself, someday I will hit goal and stay there.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Great post Greg!

They vary from day to day and month to month but here are my top picks:

Love (of myself, living life and for my family)

"Fun" playlist on my iPod

My 4 dogs

Nature

The "feeling" after exercising....
