Something that i didn't really know how to put into words but [MENTION=12525]Rich Knapp[/MENTION]; summed it up pretty well in his competition log - I dont try to compete against anyone else I just try to better the package i had last year ie: finish the year bigger and leaner than i was at the same time the year before. Thats enough for me...
Oh and results - they keep me motivated also...

Don't really need motivating, I just love training and enjoy it, love the feeling, and love it when I see results.
Then sometimes you get comments from other people, had a few drinks with a mate that I had not seen for 9 months and the first thing he said when we saw each other is,' looks like you been smashing the weights, your chest and arms look like they have grown'.
Put me on a high for the rest of the week

I like hitting PBs.
When I did weight loss it was for rock climbing and the main thing that drove me was stuff like this:
Dan Osman - Awesome - YouTube
Mostly stuff that was slightly less insane. I used to watch a lot of videos of Yosemite and Dean Potter. If youre having trouble staying motivated find a sport.

looking awesome, feeling awesome and performing awesome (when not injured). Its a high being awesome.
Avoid thinking about doing a workout, or eating right, or resting. Thinking about something you want to do can invite doubt followed by procrastination, and that can lead to skipping workouts, skipping meals, and so on.
This is extremely hard to do, and will take some practice, but try not to think about doing a workout. Just get in your workout clothes, put on your shoes, and go to the gym.
If you are following a workout plan, then simply read it and try not to mentally comment on it, for example, it's leg day, so look at your workout plan and concentrate on the exercises, weights, reps, and rest periods between sets. That's all you need to do.
The moment you start to think "well, I did a big leg workout last week, so I don't really need to do lunges today" is doubt creeping in and erecting walls which impede your goals.
Remember the old Nike slogan "just do it"? That shoe company had a good line on how the mind works. That's all you have to have in your mind: "just do it".
Ignore the voice of doubt in your mind, and focus on what is to be done. Doing this, you can achieve far more than you can imagine.

Well put. Just let it happen. Beautiful.
