The entire quote by Jack Canfield is, "Clarify your purpose. What is the why behind everything you do? When we know this in life or design it is very empowering and the path is clear."
We all have a purpose here on Earth. While there's a wide variety of theories and beliefs out there, I think we were each put here to drastically change at least one other person's life for the better. My reasoning may or may not be true, but this is what I've concluded after much thought. Yet, I am always open to hearing other's ideas of "why we are here." (What is yours? Share in comments!)
So, in my religion classes at school, we do a reflection for about twenty minutes at the beginning of each class on an article, video, or current event that the teacher provides. Recently, she showed us a video about the science behind and ways to combat procrastination. In my reflection, I wrote that the way I avoid procrastinating is by giving my self a reason to do each and every thing I do. That reason? I do everything directly or indirectly for the people I love, because I know that without each and every one of them, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Whenever I lack motivation to complete a task, I remind myself why I'm doing it, and that immediately puts me back on track. What's your reason/way to stay motivated?
Also, here is the link to that video:
