Positive A asked:


Does anyone know of a free service (maybe email or ezine) that will help me to be inspired to be successful and achieve my goals?

I have a five minute or so presentation to do for a college class. My topic is motivation and I need some ideas and examples of things I can use. YouTube videos would be great, maybe clips from TV shows or movies, or some kind of activity I can have the class do. I already plan on making a PowerPoint with some general information, like what it motivation, what is the difference between motivation and determination, and examples of each, but I don’t think this can fill up five minutes. Any advice would be great!

I have always been raised in a very motivational environment. I’ve always had all sorts of support and encouragement from my family and close friends to help me achieve my goals and take pretty good care of myself.

However, now I’m out on my own, and most of those friends and close family ties have faded. I’ve got nothing but myself to keep tabs on myself, and I’ve come to a screeching halt to say the least.

Now I’ve read all the literature on motivation, listening to all the tapes, been to the lectures, and even given some myself. I know all about journals and setting goals. However, no matter how much of a plan I put in place or how many goals I set, I don’t seem to have the self-disciple to follow my own system! I work very well in a group setting, but once I’m on my own I seem to lose all my steam.

I have the motivation to set goals, but not the discipline to follow through with them or make progress. Aside from becoming a hermit, how could I learn self-discipline?
