You're the Inspiration

We all know the song by Chicago, it's a perennial favorite, and if I could write a song about inspiration I wish it could be as good. But since I can't I'm putting this body of work together to talk about motivation - what motivates me, others and just talk about inspiring things - inspiration in general.

The idea for this blog popped into my head as if by magic, I guess you could say I was inspired to write by an unknown force, a spiritual inspiration, as it were. Whatever it was that coaxed me to sign up and start writing about motivation I thank it. So, does motivation come only from within? I don't think only, but I think lasting motivation definitely does.

Once you are motivated for you, you get a strength that lasts long after the motivation of others has faded into the background noise.

And I guess all this chatter leads me on to one of those great motivators that works: be accountable. I am motivated to write about things now, I am accountable to my readers, [shame you can't see the face I'm making right now!] and that will keep me going.
