Get Motivated to Get Organized?
That Sounds About As Fun As Boot Camp!
A friend recently asked me if there was anything in particular that helped me to get motivated and power through boot camp. What a loaded question! There are too many things I remember about boot camp and most of them unpleasant. Running in combat boots. Getting yelled at. Doing push-ups until I collapsed. Getting yelled at. Woken up in the middle of the night for inspections. Getting yelled at. 30 second showers. And, yup...you guessed it! Getting yelled at some more.
A Turning Point...
I recall thinking at one point, Why am I putting up with 6 weeks of this? While all my friends were enjoying summer vacations, I was being subjected to unwanted rules, impossible orders, minimal sleep, nasty food, physical fitness ad nauseam - all topped off with copious amounts of shouting. But then I remembered how much I wanted to be in the military and serve my country, and I realized that 6 weeks of training would only make me a stronger, better soldier. The end justifies the means, if you will. And I could be miserable during the whole ordeal or I could make the most of it...it was totally up to me!
Get Motivated - It's Always Your Choice
I realize that for some of you out there, home organization may be just about as fun as boot camp. But in this day in age, when life keeps getting crazier and crazier, you can't afford not to be organized!Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, “Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.” Isn't that so true? I could have been miserable through boot camp, but instead I tried to motivate myself as much as possible, keeping the end in sight. And the same goes for organizing... If you know you have to get organized, you can choose to procrastinate, and your disorganization will just cause you more frustration. Or you can choose to get motivated, get organized, and truly know the freedom that comes with it. It's always your choice...
