In the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C Maxwell, Law 5 states that Motivation gets you going - Discipline keep you growing. 

"The successful person has the habit of doing the things that failures don't like to do. The successful person doesn't like doing them either, but his dislike is subordinated to the strength of his purpose."  Your answers to the following seven questions will let you know if your why is solid enough to motivate you to consistently grow: 

 THE WHY TEST - 

1. Do you constantly procrastinate important tasks? 

2. Do you require coaxing to do small chores? 

3. Do you perform duties just to get by? 

4. Do you constantly talk negatively about your work? 

5. Do efforts of friendds to encourage you irritate you instead? 

6. Do you start small projects and abandon them?

 7. Do you avoid self improvement opportunities?  

If you answer yes to many of these questions, you haven't tapped into a strong enough or big enough why to keep you growing.  

FIND YOUR WHY - dig deep.
