			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I want to tell you why you absolutely have to<br />
take charge of self-motivation.</p>
<p>And what a <a class="ld_link" href="http://www.getmotivatedstaymotivated.com/blog/lack-of-motivation-how-you-developed-bad-habits-that/" target="_blank" title="lack of motivation">lack of motivation</a> means..</p>
<p>As you read this article you will start to understand why a<br />
lack of motivation is costing you even more than you<br />
realize.</p>
<p>As you read the story below notice how much you have in<br />
common with me&#8230;</p>
<p>Growing up I never really had much trouble getting things<br />
done. I was told what to do by my parents or by my teachers<br />
and I did what was expected of me because it was the easiest<br />
choice for me.</p>
<p>Getting punished never appealed to me very much.</p>
<p>Then as I got older and especially when I joined the<br />
workforce I could get away with doing less and with leaving<br />
things until the deadline approached.</p>
<p>In fact in one company where I worked it made no sense<br />
finishing work before the deadlines because management kept<br />
moving the goal posts.</p>
<p>And very often I worked with people who refused to stretch<br />
themselves. This culture of doing as little as you can and<br />
appearing to be productive slowly dragged me down.</p>
<p>Over the years as a result of experiences like these I<br />
developed bad habits.</p>
<p>One of those habits was a lack of motivation habit.</p>
<p>I can see now how a few bad choices in how I approached work<br />
affected all aspects of my life.</p>
<p>The same may be true for you&#8230;</p>
<p>What we did over the years was create bad habits that need<br />
to be given up and replaced with a new way of behaving.</p>
<p>Do you realize what these bad habits have cost you in your<br />
life?</p>
<p>1. You missed the sense of accomplishment and the<br />
satisfaction that comes with succeeding on a big scale.</p>
<p>2. You lost the respect of your peers and you are excluded<br />
from the winners circle.</p>
<p>3. You no longer feel in control of your destiny and in<br />
fact you are a victim of circumstance.</p>
<p>4. You earn far less than people of lesser intelligence and<br />
ability.</p>
<p>5. You worry about the future because you fear you may not<br />
be able to deal with things.</p>
<p>A lack of motivation is a bad habit you can and must change.</p>
<p>Now is the time to take charge of this situation. I can tell<br />
you from my own experience that nothing will change until<br />
you decide to change.</p>
<p>And nothing will improve until you improve it&#8230;</p>
<p>You owe it to yourself and to the people who care about you<br />
to seize the day and make your life something to be proud<br />
of.</p>
<p>The satisfaction that comes from living life on your own<br />
terms is a wonderful gift you deserve to enjoy. And you<br />
will only have this once you know how to motivate yourself<br />
to create the life you dream of.</p>
<p>My income jumped, my social life improved dramatically and<br />
new opportunities for having even more of what I wanted all<br />
came about for me. But only after I learned the secrets of<br />
self-motivation and how to kill a lack of motivation.</p>
<p>The world did not change. Other people did not change. I<br />
changed.</p>
<p>Only When YOU change will your world change for the better.</p>
<p>Before I go&#8230;</p>
<p>Think of those people who look down on your lack of progress<br />
and take you for granted. Think of that sense you have of<br />
not been in control.</p>
<p>All of these feelings of dissatisfaction are not going to<br />
disappear&#8211; in fact they will dominate your life as the<br />
years pass you by.</p>
<p>These issues are not going to go away all by themselves.</p>
<p>I tried the wait and see approach &#8211; it does not work!</p>
<p>Thankfully there is a solution, a proven way of taking<br />
charge of your life and developing self-motivation.</p>
<p>*** Motivation is an essential life skill and you can<br />
discover how to be motivated and <a class="ld_link" href="http://www.getmotivatedstaymotivated.com/blog/how-to-stay-motivated-day-in-and-day-out/" target="_blank" title="stay motivated">stay motivated</a>. ***</p>
<p>Although some lucky people seem to be born highly<br />
motivated, if you are of at least average intelligence you<br />
can learn how to be motivated.</p>
<p>No matter how unmotivated you have been up to now.</p>
<p>The secret to being motivated is to discover the motivation<br />
blueprint that is right for you.</p>
<p>Imagine no longer having a lack of motivation!</p>
