Motivation- Does it last?

Hi all n_n this will be one of the shorter posts on antiphons because i just want to touch briefly something really interesting that i thought about today...

I was thinking about programs. Not the average ones but the great ones which always leave people all energetic and motivated to do anything and everything for success. And being in so many of them i start to wonder and think, does any of these last? Many people (especially my parents) are always coming up to me and telling me: 'This kind of feeling and knowledge only empowers for that moment in that environment for that period of time... come back into the real world'. And in defense i would always in my mind say that they do not understand. However seeing so many programs go past and so many people come and go i started to question it. And so i was on the web searching for answers and i came across something...

Zig Ziglar says, "Many folks claim this motivation stuff doesn't last. Well, neither does taking a bath. That's why we recommend it DAILY."

Suddenly i was struck by how clear and easy the answer to that question and doubt was... People don't get motivated only at the turning points in their lives, or at the programs, they constantly are empowered and motivated at different points in their lives to be more successful. In some way i experienced it as well but i wasn't aware i was often empowered again and again by friends teachers, the stuff that i read and so much more. Does motivation last? Only if you give it daily doses. n_n

The only person who can motivate you is yourself. You are your greatest motivation.
