I actually am one of those people that thought that static and dynamic motivation (as you describe them) were the same. I find that I am really excited when I buy a book and the only thing I want to do is read it, but after a while I just give up on it. You should see my bookshelf of half-read books! I will definitely try the tips you gave here. Thanks again! I really enjoyed this article.

I myself always find that I get overly enthusiastic about something new very early on, and then get disappointed later when the excitement wears off. I also get bored easily, and am always whining for change. But this article has given me a new way to look at things. Thanks!!! This was a great article.

I myself have suffered from this type of burnout; a fast start and then it fizzles out. We should be more like a rocket that exits the earth's atmosphere; a very large push at the beginning to escape gravity and then, just a steady as she goes routine with the firing of some retro rockets to stay on course.

Motivation is definitely something that needs to be worked on every day. Over time, motivation can be a driving force for us to do great things. I do believe that finding your purpose in life plays a big role in motivation. If you know why you exist, and have taken the steps to build yourself up, you will go to great lengths to make your purpose happen. Very well said.

It gives those who can't get out of their own way something to focus on. I try to look at it from who and what am I servicing with what I am trying to create. When I remember my initial intentions it helps me to get by the inevitable slump. I like that you wrote this from a rational perspective.
