I have found that for the most part many people are lazy and not motivated. Being lazy or not motivated does not make you a bad person but, it will for sure allow you to miss an incredible amount of life. As you know I have a passion for interviewing skills and staying in shape. I also feel that both will get you through many difficulties in life (along with trusting in Christ).  Now,  you might be thinking “what does any of this have to do with the title ” have you ever wondered why people are NOT motivated.  Well, let me rant a little. I have been amazed to see how people do NOT take the extra step to set themselves apart in an interview. Most people are not motivated to succeed they are HOPING that they will be GIVEN a job. As the baby boomers retire the new generation (not all ,but most) feel that companies owe them a favor. It is rare to talk to someone that is in their 20’s that feels the opposite. In other words most feel the company owes them and others are figuring out ways they can do for the company. Many people are overweight yet we are all guilty of eating the lovely fast food. WHY? at that time we are not motivated to take care of our body.

Why is it that when someone knows they need a job they still do not go the extra mile on an interview? Because they are not motivated.

Why does someone eat fastfood when they know they should not? They are not motivated at that moment.

Why are there so many things that are bad for us and we know it, but we still do them? Much of the reasons (not all) are because we are NOT motivated.

I propose the following! GET MOTIVATED! Life is too short. What is it that you know you need to do or not do? DO IT! Are you waiting to make your marriage better? Why are you waiting? Are you not motivated? GET MOTIVATED?  Do you need a better Job? Start Interviewing! Do you know how to interview? Learn the best way to do so. Are you in shape? Why not? GET IN SHAPE!

I propose that you are an incredible person that deserves the best and so do the people you know. Get motivated! Look in the mirrow and decide that you are not going sit down and waste you life because you are potentially NOT motivated. GET MOTIVATED!

I would like to give you a way to start getting motivated. 3 Days a week work out for 15 minutes. Thats all. 15 Minutes. Do something like Pushups, Sit Ups and Pull Ups.  I HIGHLY recommend the perfect push up ($19.95 at Super Walmart) and the Perfect Pull Up (I think it has dropped to $60) I also recommend a stability ball (#19.95 for a good one at Super Walmart).  Each one of these comes with some exercises. Work in a 15 minute work out using these products (check with your doctor of course) 3-4 days a week. I can promise you that when you lookin the mirror you will feel better. When you go to work you will feel better and your friends or loved ones will think you look and are acting better.

Give it a shot. GET MOTIVATED!  One more thing… pick up a book and read it!

Next time I would like to talk about how people can keep there jobs in such a tough time.
