So with any serious persuit in life, when you put yourself around people with your same mindset and goals you're more likely to succeed. This concept was one I have always pretty much understood since it was beat into my head by my parents, but never was it so blatently displayed to me as this weekend.
This past Saturday I attended the "NPC Sacramento Bodybuilding & Fitness" show. I mainly went to support my brother-in-law who was in it.
Once there I could not believe how being around all those people, who make fitness thier lives, really encouraged me to stick to my goals and stay motivated.

I apologize if this seems a little dorky, but I just wanted to see if their were any similar experiences out there, What has kept others motivated or FORCED motivation?
 
I'm never really "motivated" as much anymore, I just lift weights because I force myself to, and know I have to.

But what got me mativated to start working out, and follow up on that goal was simply to make my ex jelous. I know people say never rely on another person for motivation, but hell.... It got me motivated. She always said this to me "you need to gain some weight", so hell.... I did it, and I've gained about 20 lbs since than. I intend to get another 10-20 over the winter, and than go on from there when summer starts.

Everyday I just try and find something that will motivate me, whether it be seeing a huge guy, a hot girl, and so on.
