Motivation - part 2

I've said before, motivation has always been a problem for me. I guess it really is for most people. I saw a quote today by Zig Ziglar, "Motivation is like bathing. It works a lot better if we do it every day" (or something to that effect) With that, I thought I would pass along a quote I'm using right now.

"I Do Today What You Won't, So Tomorrow I Can Do What You Can't"

I also came across something Ross Perot said about achieving success. It went like this -- After the moment of your greatest success, know that you will slack off. This is so true. I was actually talking to a colleague of mine about how I constantly do this (hit a high then back off, sometimes for years) with my athletic endeavors just the day before I read the quote. I hit a high for my weekly run mileage last week. So I am reminding myself that I may slack; pushing myself to have an even better week this week.
