Strong Motivation Tips: Write Your Obituary!
Writing your own obituary may not be easy, but it can provide an opportunity for honest reflection on your life. If it is hard for you, try pretending that you have just won an award and the newspaper is doing a feature story on your accomplishments. By recording what you wish to be remembered or acknowledged for, you will be able to identify the values you would like to live by. And, by identifying your life’s values you will be more able to live them now and in the future. You’ll discover your TRUE goals.
Values are those things that are more important to you than anything else. Values pave the path for 
an ideal life. When we live according to the values we have embraced we live a life of fulfillment. If we neglect those values that are of great importance to us, we feel emptiness in our lives. What would you like your legacy to be? How would you like to be remembered? Think of four of five words that describe behaviors and activities you have noted in your obituary or feature article. Perhaps you noted that you will be remembered for your community service, your love of family, your artistic abilities and your position as an expert in your field. What values do these suggest to you?

Try to change your life by writing two versions of your obituary.
Write two obituaries, one for the life you was living, one for the life you dreamed you might live. You can decide if your life needed to change.
Steps:
1. Close your eyes and take a few minutes to breathe deeply, focusing your attention on the moment of peace at the end of each out-breath. Notice how your body settles into the rhythm of each breath. Allow your mind to rest a bit.
2. Now, continuing with your deep breathing, write your obituary based on how you are living your life right now, assuming you take no daring risks. Be specific.
3. Return to your breath. Pay attention to the moment of peace at the end of each out breath.
4. Now allow yourself to follow your bliss in your mind. Send your inner critic to time out and banish fear from your mind altogether. Answer this question- What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
5. Now write a second obituary based on the belief that you are living that life.

Interesting, but still ineffective. Your method is a one time only trick. Motivation is like a fountain that dried out, you always need to refill it.
People might do that once, twice, maybe for a week, but a majority of them will quit afterwards. People are most effective with their back against the wall.
So, the only right method is to program our brain to think, that there is no way out and you must start acting.
