Thought of the Week: January 26, 2003 A Time for New
Beginnings:
What can you do to stimulate your motivation when you're experiencing the mopes? We have some thoughts for you to consider. Make yourself think positive.

Go with the flow and be ready to get back to work when the challenge passes. Tell yourself tomorrow is a new day. We all recall Scarlett O'Hara's closing line in the movie "Gone With the Wind." It goes something like, "after all, tomorrow is another day." The words ring true. Today's errors are tomorrow's history. Expect that everything will work out. Time has a way of working out the kinks. Incorporate this philosophy into your life and remain positive. Motivate -

Maintaining
momentum when it comes to motivation can be difficult some times. Despite
the inherent natural positive energy that exists just in the word
"motivation," keeping our eyes lifted to the ultimate goal doesn't
always happen.
