Motivation

People will ask (I have asked in the past): 'Where do I find motivation when I'm feeling unmotivated?'

The answer (IMO): You never feel like doing anything until you just do it and then you are doing it. If you look for motivation, you will never find it anywhere. You'll just be spending time looking for it. You start doing the thing that you're supposed to do and then you become un-unmotivated. Doing the thing gives you the energy to continue doing the thing and doing more things. You allow doing things to energize you.
