How do people stay motivated?

This being my very first blog; I dont really see myself writing down indepth analysis of current events in this blog. My main motivation behind writing this blog is to ultimately find (within myself) what might really motivate me!



Let me explain.

At this phase of my life, there has been a distinct lack of motivation to do my regular desk job. Anything new definitely excites me and I seem to find new found energy. In the last 3 years, I have tried gyming, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, boxing, Dancing (salsa, break dancing, tango, Bollywood dancing..lol), Tennis, Acting etc. I have intentions on starting to play football (soccer) in the next few months.



Except for tennis and to an extent gyming, I havent stuck onto any such activity for more than 6 months.



I wonder how people stay motivated. At my age of 28, I already feel burnt out. I hope to one day find the reason to motivate myself to excel at what I do.



Thinking back over the years I find a drastic change in my personality. I remember having an aggressive, a "never give up", and fearless attitude until my late teenage years. I also remember my aggressive self in multiple fights and tough situations during undergrad. I have definitely mellowed down over the years. It has reached a point in fact, it takes a lot of drama to invoke a reaction in me which usually doesnt involve violence or aggressive talk / debate even remotely.



Has the loss of my aggressive side taken the something along with it? Why do I deflated, demotivated and fearful taking on huge tasks? Each task is a challenge and one needs to aggressively pursue it. I feel its high time I bring the old Nazzu back!
