Motivation?

ChanceDog Posts: 78 Joined: 2003/11/04	2006/03/16, 11:52 AM This question was spurned from the last few people (Including myself) that joined the New FT Members section of this site. So as a guy that lost his, and now trying desperately to get back on the good side of health, I have a question for the wise and more defined in the forum. We all know this HAS to come from within, but the flame has to be lit from somewhere or something. So here goes:- How do you guys STAY motivated? The ones that need to know the most are the newbies to the site as that’s there number one enemy. I’m sure you agree. -------------- Warmly ChanceDog. :dumbbell: Always remember, If you love someone, set them free… If they come back to you…they probably need money

Reading others reasons for staying in shape is sometimes a great motiviation in itself. :) good luck! -------------- Bettia....

Now write out what you need to do to achieve those goals. take immediate action on one of the steps to get you to those goals. Tomorrow - write out your goals. Write out an action list. take action. The next day..write out your goals.... you can see the pattern here, no? -------------- If you have a strong enough why you can bear almost any how. - Nietzsche
