For some of us the motivation to live is very strong because we are living meaningful and purpose filled lives. For others due to a variety of factors that will to live gets diminished over time until they are not sure why they exist. It is not unnatural to lose your impetus along life's pathway, it can happen to anyone.

If you are experiencing feelings of frustration and stagnancy due to a lack of motivation read this article for some insight into how you can put the stimulus back into your life. Start out by answering the following questions - I like to call it a motivation checklist.

In terms of whom you are, what small thing would you do to change or improve your personality? List any one factor that you feel is more important than others. Sure we all need changing in various ways but keep it simple.
With regard to your health, what would you do to improve it? Start exercising, stop smoking, eat a more balanced diet - anything you feel gets top priority.
Where is your career going? Are you satisfied with the way it has been shaping itself? What would you do to improve the direction your career is taking?
Money - what's the one thing you want to change in this area; organize your finances, set up a retirement plan, get rid of credit card debt, the list is endless but you need to choose the thing that is most important to you.
Relationships - tricky area no doubt but one that is really important to our mental well being. Is your relationship in the doldrums? Do you need to make amends with someone you have hurt or have hurt you? Whatever it is put it down.

You can begin with your motivational checklist and you will soon find that you are inspired enough to make changes in your life to make it more fulfilling.
