Have you pushed yourself to get motivated to start? Maybe you want to write the novel that\u2019s been in you head for years. Or you want to find a better job but aren\u2019t motivated to update your resume. Or you want to get your living space organized but feel helpless to begin. You keep saying you want things and hope that something will happen to motivate you. I\u2019m often asked why the Law of Attraction doesn\u2019t help get things manifested when they keep asking for motivation.<\/p>\n<p>You attract what you put out. If you\u2019re trying to get yourself motivated to go after what you want it can feel like a struggle. You may want something but not want what\u2019s necessary to get it, like having to redo your resume to get the job you want. That creates a negative vibration and it\u2019s hard to manifest positives from that. The motivation that does work is having passion for what you want. Passion comes forth from within. It&#8217;s the flame that lights up inside of you.<\/p>\n<p>Motivation is often used to make yourself do something that you don&#8217;t really want to do. The work to get to where you want to be may seem unpleasant, or scary. Passion gives you a clear picture of what you want and knowing you\u2019ll get there because you want it enough. It makes you excited about manifesting what you want. Passion creates a positive vibration for the Law of Attraction to pick up on and assist you in getting it. Passion fuels your desire so it screams the intention to the Universe and attracts a lot more than trying to motivate yourself.<\/p>\n<p>People often ask me how I motivate myself to write every day. My passion for writing is all I need. If there\u2019s something you say you want but aren\u2019t motivated to go after it, ask yourself:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0How much do I really want it?<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Why am I not excited about doing it?<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0What scares me about doing it?<\/p>\n<p>Once you deal with those issues, let the passion flow! I had a project I wanted to do badly but after hiring someone to wok with me, i couldn&#8217;t get moving. I wanted it VERY much, so why wasn&#8217;t I excited? I realized the person I hired wasn&#8217;t into it like I was. It was like water on the fire of my passion. When I found the right person to work with, my passion returned. Do what you can to stoke your passion and enjoy having a high vibration for manifesting.<\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/>\n**************<br \/>\nJoin the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Self-Love Movement\u2122<\/strong><\/a>!

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4912"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4912\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4986,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4912\/revisions\/4986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
