Sometimes I see motivation as a car. There is the idle stage and then there is the effect of stepping on the gas. Finding the right targets in life could be the difference between revving in neutral and putting oneself into gear if that makes sense. To have a desired destination that has meaning and purpose in our life is to be driven with forward momentum and sometimes it's just a case of asking oneself where would I like to be in life right now, or what do I feel I should be doing right now with my life and removing barriers to progress and finding a tangible and workable route to get there. Hope this has been of some help/inspiration.
