By the time you're close, you are so motivated to get there that it doesn't feel like work at all. When we see the big triumph its easy to get all motivated, but small things are which we need to keep on doing inspite of them being the most difficult to do. So I wrote that. And then I felt bad. So I tried to give an example.

Bring up specific times when they surprised you with kindness, made your work better, invigorated you with their own contagious brilliance or creativity. It's been a great experience learning from a community of successful and motivated women who want to change the world by helping women attain wealth and power through entrepreneurship.

"So deep is the creative spirit that you will discover its limits, even if you search every trail." If I don't, and don't get those endorphins, then my whole schedule is off, and I get nothing accomplished, not to mention I am a miserable grouch! Talking with someone supportive always helps me, but that's me.

That is the only way we get to our goals, the only way the tortoise beats the hare in the race, the only way that we can look back and be so proud of our accomplishments. You've accomplished a lot. You are trying to motivate people to do the impossible and some "genius" is pulling the carpet out from under you.

Fun either way.

She has conducted the Stanford Study of Writing , which includes about 15,000 writing samples from students from 2001 – 2006. Even when I am attempting to write a creative piece, I find myself falling back on my "e-mail voice." I had less time for Facebook and spent more of my time writing creatively. That's all.

Penelope, your true and accomplished voice at this time is writing. Knitting is a trend that has been building for a number of years because it's relaxing and creative at the same time. thanks for all your inspiration and motivation. I'm thinking specifically writing vs. webinars.

I needed the motivation! Because of its limitations, it forces you to be creative. The people who I meet who are the happiest, are those who live frugally, and/or do what they love with a passion and earn money from it and it is usually a creative labour of love. I try to tell people, everyone has the same 24 hours in a day.

" Some people need the excitement and sense of accomplishment that comes from having an interesting life. They might consider some of their actions "interesting", but the underlying motivation is competition. Now it's far more exciting and I've come to realize that happiness is possible. I'm happy now."

We also learned to be very creative with ourselves, because there wasn't as much to do as in the city. I constantly found ways to be challenged, to exceed and be creative. My small town was motivating. They told us how smart we were and how we'd accomplish so much. Good luck to you and your children.

It's amazing you can even survive, let alone graduate college or run a business. Then get a GPS. So Penelope…okay you get lost driving home.

I totally think it's important to learn to think about subjects that are not necessarily applicable to a job, and am motivated to do so on my own. They must teach to tests, deal with ALL the kids in the class (and not just the motivated ones, etc.). Came back home and everybody was boring.
