What does motivation mean to you? Do you get fired up when you see or hear the word?
How do you motivate yourself? More importantly – do you need motivation?
Motivation has come to embody a great deal in the Western world. I’ve often heard people from non-English speaking countries comment on how lazy we are in the West. I tend to agree with them in some respect. Work ethic in the Asian and European countries is incredibly high. It is passed down from generations and instilled in young people.

Life purpose is like the North Star it is not a destination, but a direction of travel. Real and lasting motivation comes from within when we take action in line with our North Star.

The Chinese army has a punishment: they get soldiers who’ve done something bad to dig a big hole for several hours and then fill it back in again, because nothing is more soul destroying than work without purpose.
