The word "motivation" comes from the Latin root "movere" which means "to move". We all need motivation in order to move us from behaving, feeling or thinking a specific way (often not the way we want), to move us to behaving, feeling or thinking a better or more desirable way. When we begin something like a New Year, new semester, new season, new workout plan, new eating plan, new study routine, new spiritual plan, we usually don't have a problem because we just started. We moved already to start the plan. But over time, we lose motivation. We lose a desire to continue to move. We become stagnant. In order to succeed in life, we need to be intentional about moving. NIKE came out with a marketing campaign a few decades ago and it has become a part of our everyday language. It is three simple words and the words simply encourage us to move. Every NIKE add for the past thirty years plays into our emotions and often give us motivation to do something. NIKE understood that people are naturally unmotivated. Instead of telling us to buy their shoes, they tell us to move ... so we go and buy their shoes. Today is a great day to see where in your life you need to move more. We need to move from being in the same place you were yesterday or right now, to where you want to be. Move to do more. Move to do different. Just Move. Just Do It.
