Struggling to find a reason to get it done? Find no reasons. Find a way to know how you are doing and the numbers alone will give you inhuman motivation.

“Motivation is everything” – Art Williams

Motivation is less understood than you can ever imagine. I’ve read dozens of books about motivation and some even contradict themselves. Motivation in one sentence is finding mental energy to engage in an action. Your action can be losing weight, working, making money, exercising, having fun, eating an ice cream. To do anything you need motivation all the time. Some actions require more motivation than others but in the end all action require some degree of motivation.

Why numbers to motivate yourself? Ask Wall Street Traders.

These men have the power to make fortunes because of just one thing: Numbers. By knowing in real time how they are doing, not only they have 1000 eyes, but they also have motivation to see it happening. It’s like an addiction, you want to take action to get instantaneous results, and by seeing the numbers rolling in real time, you get all the motivation you need to take action.

What kind of numbers do you need? If you are exercising you need at least two: Heart beat and Calories burnt per hour.

Find your numbers and you will find all the motivation you will ever need.
