In case you’ve wondered where I’ve been, I accepted a 30 day blog challenge and I have been writing away on one of my other blogs! I committed to writing a blog-a-day for 30 days at MarthaGiffen.com Sooo, I have somewhat neglected ThinkandMotivate!
However, today, as I was writing on my other blog, I realized that the blog challenge is exactly the kind of inspiration and motivation that I talk about here. Staying motivated is all about keeping your eye on the goal. But what about the in-between part? Where you are working towards the goal and the motivation wanes?
That’s where discipline comes in. Oh, I know, that’s not a fun word! Discipline conjours up all sorts of not-so-great visuals. But, ultimately, discipline is what gets the job done. Having the discipline to stick with it day in and day out. Putting one foot in front of another when you don’t really feel like it. That’s discipline. Just going ahead and doing it.
I’ve been blogging every day for 12 days. I am almost half way finished. In my mind, I see the end. In the meantime, I am disciplined enough to keep writing every day.
Challenges are good. They create a desire to reach our goals. Onward and upward!
Peace,
