Summer Madness

Rewind three months... 

If you are a college basketball fan, this was one of the most exciting times of the year.

The NCAA Tournament, better known as "March Madness" was soon to take place.

You looked forward to the excitement of daily buzzer beaters and upsets.

You thought your bracket was going to win your pool for sure.

But after Week 1 of the tournament, you lost interest.

The upsets you picked, didn't take place.

The team you picked to win it all was upset in the second round.

The field of 64+ teams was now reduced to 16. 

As a result of how the tournament was playing out, you no longer cared about it.

The excitement you felt weeks earlier was gone by the end of March.

Does the same happen for summer?

Three months ago, you couldn't wait for the Earth's axis to tilt.

But you aren't in the shape you said you'd be in once the calendar struck June.

You had some unexpected expenses come up, and now you can't afford a vacation.

The abrupt change from mild spring temperatures to boiling swampland summer has you pissed off.

Summer has just arrived, but have you already lost interest?

You can still get your "summer body".

The house you hoped to move into got snatched up yesterday, but you can still find a home this summer.

You can still have summer fun.

The hardest, but best time to regain motivation is precisely the time you feel yourself losing interest.

At right about the time you feel you have failed, or that your goal is un-attainable. 

If you can re-motivate at a time when it doesn't seem worth it, you will be suited to find motivation for all seasons.
