Why Self Improvement and Motivation?

About Me

It did not take me long to discover that self improvement and motivation is the only way for consistent progress and success. I'd take one step forward, two step backwards, and then progress stalled. (Urgh!) That was enough for me. Something had to give.

Most people can handle the good things in life. It's the challenges and obstacles that give us pause. Every time I faced something new, I'd always start tackling each challenge and obstacle with fierce determination, then I struggled to remain motivated.

I remember observing a high school football game with enthusiastic and excited cheerleaders firing up the fans to support the home team. They chanted, "All you have to do it put your mind to it.... buckle down, buckle down....Do it! Do it! Do it!"

As the game progressed, and the team was losing,those bubbly cheerleaders started to fizzle. The chants lost its zeal and the crowd lost interest. Boy, could I relate! I bet you can too.


I'm Kim. I welcome you to my little piece of cyberspace known as Fuel-My-Motivation. By no means do I claim to be a self improvement and motivation expert, but I believe personal experience counts for a lot. I have spent years of my life on personal growth in which motivation is key. For me, I learn best from experience and common sense. I'm always seeking to figure out how information can benefit me to improve my life.

Personal Info About Me:

I wear many hats - I'm a wife, a mother, a sports' mom, a chauffeur, an employee, a manager, a self improvement and motivation enthusiast, and many more titles I can think of. Somewhere between all of this, I found the time to go back to school to earn my MBA.

How Did I Get Started Along This Path?

Years ago, I became stagnant in my life. Each day I'd go through the motions. I was sailing along dealing with a nagging doubt I could not explain.

By many people's standards, I was successful. I was in my comfort zone. I had a great job making great money and a wonderful family. BUT....I was miserable! The problem was I had stopped growing and learning. Then one day, the bottom fell out. I learned I had a brain tumor. Talk about a wake up call!

That spurred me to action. I wanted no regrets. Then and there, I decided after I beat my tumor I'd become a life-long learner.

Why this Self Improvement and Motivation Website?

I wanted a place to journal my self improvement progress. I also wanted a way to fuel my own motivation. Hence, Fuel My Motivation was launched.

I also made another discovery. Sharing what I learn with others is a very rewarding experience. I cherish the opportunity to help you find motivation and success in your life.
