Motivation is a funny thing. Some days, it hits you like a wave—you wake up ready to take on the world. Other days, even the smallest task feels like climbing a mountain. And that’s okay. The truth is, motivation isn’t something you find once and hold onto forever. It’s something you have to keep choosing, day after day.
I’m Cory Thompson, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned—both in business and life—it’s that lasting motivation comes from purpose, not hype. It’s not about the loudest voice in the room or the latest trend on your feed. It’s about knowing why you do what you do.
For me, that “why” has always been rooted in my family, my community, and a drive to create something meaningful. Living and working in Grand Junction has taught me that purpose doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s as simple as being someone others can count on. Sometimes, it’s about building something that matters—even if it takes time.
If you’re struggling to stay motivated, try shifting your focus. Don’t wait for a spark—create one. Set a goal that actually excites you. Celebrate small wins. Surround yourself with people who encourage growth. And above all, remember this: you don’t have to be perfect—you just have to keep going.
Motivation isn’t about being fired up every second. It’s about commitment. It’s about showing up when it’s hard, trusting the process, and believing that your effort is never wasted.
This blog is here to be a place of encouragement and real talk. A reminder that motivation doesn’t have to be flashy—it just has to be real.
Keep pushing. Keep believing. You’ve got more in the tank than you think.
