I only enjoy partial integrity in my life and seem to loose motivation frequently these months. This is not unusual at this age I guess. At least I am aware of it, so I can consciously work on solutions. Even for
Steve it took a decade and hundreds of personal development books to "get it".
It was sometime in 2005 that I finally "got it" at a deep enough level and recognized that consciousness gives me the freedom to create my own inner experience at all times, and my inner reality projects outward into the world and then feeds back into my perceptions.

I'm sure it won't happen overnight. This is a
process and not a single event.
Last week I have added
Integrity by Dr Henry Cloud to my
Personal Development Wish List. It was
reviewed by John Richardson at
Success Begins Today and I feel like it has many ideas/new aspects to offer.
This night I met
Zig Ziglar's "Success for Dummies" audiotape. Despite its title it provides lots of information on motivation.
Here are my favourite quotes from it:
"In short,
its not the absence of opportunity but the absence of motivation that is the problem for most people."
"Being motivated means being ready to take action."
"People with integrity do the right thing."
"Integrity. Character, consistency, persistency."
"Motivators:
1. The desire for gain.
2. The fear of loss (legitimate fear for realistic reasons is not only natural but also desirable).
Rewards: powerful tools for motivation."
The very next step is to identify what would bring more motivation to every single thing that I'm seriously doing
and bring them into effect. The good news is that I'm very good in coming up with ideas so this shouldn't take too much effort ;) Heck, I already have some tips for the most important ones.
