Finding that self - motivation

I used to read storybooks, stories about teenage love, angst, teen pregnancy, teen rebels. All that is related to teen. But eventually I gave up reading on them, because I got bored of the similar plot over and over again. Or maybe it was because I'm growing out of that teen stage?

That was when I started borrowing guide books and self-motivational ones, about health, makeup, how to build your confidence. That kind of thing. I realize reading self-motivational books really really helps. But some people don't see the benefit. I think I can understand why.

Its more of, if you want a change in your life, you want to set it at a proper pace then reading this kind of book helps. But if you have no interest about this things, you'll get bored easily. For me, I need this books because they have true short stories, phrases or poems that makes me reflect and helps to sustain that self-motivated phase I'm in.

So if you catch me reading such self-motivational, informative books (e.g. The 7 habits of highly effective people, managing time, remember God till death, etc.) please understand that I'm in that phase where I'm finding my self-motivation to improve and work harder.

Sometimes there's no one to cheer for me and give me that encouragement all the time, so picking up such a book and reading it feels like its speaking and guiding me day by day through its messages.

The book that I'm reading now is called:

Success, One Day At A Time by John C. Maxwell

The first few pages had a message that caught my attention, almost immediately I knew I found a new friend. The message was:

You will never change your life
until you change something you do daily.
The secret of your success is found
in your daily routine.
- John C. Maxwell

"You can't get much done in life
if you only work on the days you feel good."
- Basketball player Jerry West
