Getting Motivated After Setbacks
It is 3 months now since I was able to set aside some time to get onto this blog. The reasons? Enough has happened in that time to provide enough material for 2 or 3 novels. The end result has been my online work has been confined to absolutely urgent essentials and maintenance only. Around me, a real life story has gone on which has involved my own health problem with a massive skin reaction on leg and foot, a jealous knife wielding youth who we were told was after my wife, witches, a 3am drug addict intruder/robber, and an oil from Witches Island which seems to have finally mastered my very painful skin problem.
In the same period we have moved from Palawan to Dumaguete to solve some of the problems that have beset us, only to encounter the night time intruder. Now, at last we are settled in our new home, and I can get back in the old routine and concentrate on writing and publishing. So, now I need to get motivated to the extreme to get things back on track.
After all the negatives that have happened, it would be easy to feel demoralized, but I'm not that sort of person. To restore my business to its former pre-problems level and take it up and beyond is self motivating. Fueling that determination is a wonderful piece of news, only confirmed a few days ago, that will be a major motivation in itself: my wife conceived just after we arrived in Dumaguete.
So, the problems are pretty much over and life goes on. Life itself should be all the motivation anyone needs.
