It’s been a long time coming.  A blog called “Motivate Thyself” has yet to hit on this very specific topic.  It’s one of those subjects that many try to touch on, but few do more than repeat the obvious.  “How to motivate yourself?” is a question that only YOU know the answer to.  Hidden deep inside all of us is both the desire to do great things and the knowledge to strive for them.  But for many of us, these are things that are buried beyond our normal understanding of ourselves.  So if you want to know how to motivate yourself, you have to first learn a bit more ABOUT yourself.

Life’s hard! I think we can all attest to that fact. But it’s not always the hard times that make it such a struggle. It’s often the inconsistency of the good times that bring on frustration.

By Dr. Bob Rotella

A consulting client of mine, Dr. Bob Rotella, is a Sports Psychologist as well as an author of numerous books.  Golf is his main area of expertise, but his talents range far and wide.  His wife, who also happened to be my 2nd grade teacher :-) , was nice enough to give me some of his books to read.  I’ve started one and have been very impressed by it.  It’s very inspiring and right up my alley.  It’s called “Life Is Not A Game Of Perfect” and it’s a spin off of a previous book he had written called “Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect”.

The book, so far, is all about how our real talent is not derived from our God given genes so much as our drive, focus and all out determination.  He states that our ‘free will’ is “the most fundamental of real talents”.  He boasts, “Real talent is something anyone can develop.”  This is a view that I hold and try to promote on this blog.  Here is an excerpt from the end of chapter one where he is referring to his view on why today’s society have and/or will fail to take advantage of the opportunities in front of them.  (Preceding this, he has introduced the reader to a friend of his who is a big wig at Merrill Lynch so that is why he refers to the company about half way through the excerpt.)
