I'll keep this short, but yesterday was a wake-up call of sorts for me to stop going through the motions of work/life and start getting stuff done. the second spark for me was picking up a copy of founders at work, a book which is a bunch of interviews with tons of successful startup founders. getting that behind-the-scenes look has inspired me to try get back to that stage when i was an enterprising young lad... the biggest things i need to get over are my fear of change and failure (i have to be afraid of breaking the existing product and running everybody away). i also need to recommit myself to not being so averse towards perseverance ... i've been looking too much for that "instant" payoff, and that's not going to fly if i want to be successful

if you've got a few bucks, check out the book. it's pretty durn good.
