‎"The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on." What if they don’t show up? You’ve got to have a better plan for your life." — Jim Rohn

I know you all have been anxiously awaiting the next Jim Rohn quote as part of a daily attitude email.

I saw this one on the FaceBox and thought it would be a good one to share.

If you really want something in your life, you will need to find the self motivation to make it happen.

Others will come along and offer help, but the start of the important changes belongs with you.

Too often we fall into the temptation of waiting for someone or something else to come along and get us jump started towards the change we need in our life.

If you are waiting for someone else, your results will depend on their "want to" and not your own.

That workout partner might not want to work out as much as you do.

That diet partner might want to "fudge" a little on that diet (pun intended).

That financial advisor/counselor might not want to meet and review as much as you need.

We all need others along the way, there is no discounting the positive effect that others can make in our lives.

We just can’t depend on them for the motivation part. We must find that within ourselves.

Make it a great day.

PS. Jim is definitely not talking about the daily attitude emails. Those are a great way to find motivation. Plus, you only have to wait until the next morning to get one of those..
