Self Motivation's Biggest Enemy

I've learned that I am my biggest enemy when it comes to self motivation and the same holds true for you. Here's some of the things we do to hurt ourselves:

We make excuses.
We procrastinate.
We focus on the wrong things.
We talk ourselves out of going for what we really want in life.
We let fear stop us.

Do you know how I started to fight this? I cut pictures out of everything I don't want. I now have a frightening collection of how my life will look if I don't take action to make it better.

Sometimes, the best motivation is negative motivation. I figure like this - all is fair when it comes to my motivation and success. What about you. What do you do?
