To remind myself why I work in the nonprofit sector, I often watch movies, especially documentaries, that deal with the human ramifications of social injustice. I turn to these docs to remind myself of the big picture and what my role is in contributing to solutions. For instance, I'm now working at the women's shelter in New Orleans. To learn more about the hardships NOLA endured and why there is such a need for more resources and safe spaces in the city, I plan on watching "Trouble the Water."

It seems everywhere we look, people are talking about resolution and making changes. Considering how much that success relies on your own motivation, we thought it'd be good to discuss what keeps you motivated, not only for your resolutions but for everything you undertake.
Where do you turn when you need motivation? What steps do you take to make sure you stay on the right track?
