I came across an article in a fitness magazine that listed the top 10 ways to stay motivated. It said that a person's drive is often based on what she believes about her abilities, not on how objectively talented she is. Basically it says that those who believe they canaccomplish what they've set out to do perform better than those who don't.
I tend to believe this myself. I have a track record of accomplishing whatever I set out to do, no matter how large the goal. I moved to a different state by myself to work in a large city where I knew no one, traveled alone to see the things I wanted to see, stepped back in my career to be able to move forward, etc. Looking back those things seem like no big deal but at the time they took a lot of planning, effort, patience (which I don't have) and persistence. My fitness goals are no different.
I have some very large goals ahead for 2010 but I'm looking forward to them and I envision myself accomplishing them. I know that for me, there is no other option.
