Motivation A.K.A. How Do I keep This Up?

A friend of mine recently asked me " how do I get motivated?" I have thought alot about it and even consulted some close to me to get their thoughts. I don't know how I got motivated really. It started as something that I was convinced was "IT". The answer to all my problems and failures. We all have those as you know. Then I met up with inspiration ,which fuels motivation.
I am very happy when I can succeed at the challenges that are put in front of me. These could be continuing to make healthy choices in eating, staying with the goals for increasing fitness or even making the choice to be positive or happy. Success is measured in many ways... it is not a number. It is not a checklist that you have completed. Sometimes it does not feel like success at all.
Success and the motivation that is needed to continue comes from deep inside yourself. Knowing that you will keep trying regardless of if you see change or improvements. But knowing that the  real change is that you won't quit.

And that it's already within each of us, you just have to be ready to hear it.
