Completely Unmotivated

Based on the philosophy I’ve adopted, today is a day of great activity. A day to meet new people, plant seeds of ambition, further my personal and business interests, and cement relationships to enhance my future efforts. That all sounds great with one exception, I’m completely unmotivated.

I awoke this afternoon versus early this morning completely lacking any desire to work. I struggle writing this list and furthermore my desire to complete any other tasks is being subdued with the urge to lay back in bed.

My state normally changes during my morning ritual which includes among other things a playlist of uplifting songs. All items have failed to change my state but I’m still writing.

Some days it’s work.

Today, Monday, December 9, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m taking action in spite of my feelings. Sometimes you have to act and ignore your feelings - that’s my current state.

I’ve exhausted my need for camaraderie with the Brits. The trio of Jeremiah, Daniel, and Tyrone has been great over the last couple of weeks but the fellowship has left me wanting more. I explained last night to “Jerry” that it’s the directions on a shampoo bottle, “wash, rinse, repeat.” Their routine, which I happily joined, is something that I wanted and needed for a bit but now it’s become mundane and unentertaining. So I will resume my routine and work towards fulfillment of my purpose. I have much that needs doing and mush get back to the tasks at hand.

A lesson Herb shared years ago became evident this morning. “Set a deadline for completion of each stage of your work.” I didn’t with my latest work and it’s dragged on for too long. The completion date is Christmas 2019. I will finish the first draft and use the remaining work for publishing as proof of concept.

Stay Motivated. Be Impactful!
