Your post is hitting an important topic, but I would suggest you change one part to make it a home run. Motivation isn't the key, Inspiration is. People are motivated to do things, but as you noted, " They are super motivated, excited, and passionate. Then, four months later they are still in the same financial situation. " This happens because motivation comes from an external source. Inspiration is an internally fueled driver. One can get inspiration from many sources. I contend this isn' t a semantic difference, but a real loci of propulsion difference. Motivation comes from without and can fade with time if the provider fades. Inspiration drives from within and can last as long as you do. Find what inspires you to achieve, not what motivates you. Happy New Year everyone! 2010 will be your year! So close Craig!

Creating healthy finances does not work that way. It's a process of successes and failures, but we've got to keep working to reach our goals. Happy New Year!!!

Get thinking about the balance. I know I tend to focus on one to the exclusion of the others... especially when it comes to education (because I like that part). The hustle, the daily grind, is where it gets difficult. It's important to note, though, that the fun part (at least for me) is only a third of the battle. Thank you for the reminder. -Marshall Jones Jr. With the coming new year, this is such a timely post. Get thinking about the balance.
