Hi Hugs4U,

Thanks for the quote.

As for an answer, there are so many different answers and can come from all different perspectives (e.g, psychogical, sociological, philosophical, physiological). From my background, I have seen motivation be a big key to whether continues to take action, or whether they stop. Motivation from within is the strongest. Motivation from external sources is helpful as well and can help initiate, but to sustain, individuals often need more internal motivation. That can include having a sense that what ever you are doing is part of your identify, truly enjoying or being satisfied by the action. Then there is the whole part of increasing motivation, another story.

Any other ideas out there?

Trying to get mom out, but getting so much resistance. I wonder if it's just a evasive technique, since I've had the same reaction. An example is today, when I just wish to prime the pump of activation by getting to a hair dresser, and she says the close ones aren't good enough. The sole remaining acceptable one is in an area which I'd suggested may have closed them

Failure does not count. If you accept this, you'll be successful. What causes most people to fail is that after one failure, they'll stop trying.
- Frank Burford

What is it that causes a person to fail after one try, and how is it remedied?

For me, if there is something I really want, nothing will stop me and I will get what I want. If there is something that I don't want, wild horses couldn't budge me and make me do it. If we want something, it's easy to come up with the motivation to do it. If it's something we don't want, there are a million excuses of why we can't do it. And, it's really, because we don't want to. Interesting and thought provoking quote. It really made me think.

For me it is minimum/maximum. Maximum is what I want, minimum is what I can settle for. Neither control my life.

Planting potatoes is my aim for today. It will be hot though so I may settle for something else.

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.
- Hans Selye

What is the right attitude is something I'd like to ask myself in the moment.
