    Found that article interesting although I had to discipline myself to read it all!

    Some of it resonates fairly well with me and makes some sense:

    "motivation” runs into the insurmountable obstacle of trying to elicit enthusiasm for things that objectively do not merit it."

    I've asked in the past how to get my motivation back for running, weight loss etc but in fact what was missing was the required discipline.

    UM, where the hell do you find this stuff, shouldn't you be on a 40 mile training run instead of wasting time on the www!!!

    It's a version of the old adage: act your way into a new way of thinking, don't try to think your way into a new way of acting.

    Very good, thanks for sharing UM... Part 2 in particular has loads of good tips.
