ha'maase hu ha'ikar - if you don't translate the inspiration into action, forget about it!
included in action is telling others about your inspiration, repeating an inspiring story or vort

I had a friend who used to say- "When you're inspired, inspire someone else!" Hopefully they'll pass it on too and it will come back to you...

MY problem ( not issue ) isn't so much translating it into action but it's keeping it that way and keeping the momentum going all the time, and not allow any negative forces to say oh I can't I have other things to do. So my question to all u physycologists out there is how

You might want to set a time limit on it, like you're going to do whatever it is for the next week, month, 6 months, whatever and then reassess the situation at that point. That could hep keep you going, knowing it's not a committment forever and ever.

That is it exactly, Whenever I make a new hachlata I always pace myself, a year or even 6 mos. is too long. I usually do rosh chodesh to rosh chodesh, and I ask my husband to help me, I.e sefirah, it was so hard for me at night when I was already about to go to sleep my DH would wake me up and make me count and not too push it off.

Does the saying "it's the thought that counts" count here???

If that counted at all times in all situations why bother doing anything
Am I the only one out there who has these grandiose short term though goals, before I have to force myself to try yet again...... thios applys to almost anything

I second that totally!!
Every time I tell a friend about something that I am motivated about, they always ask me several months later how that particular thing is going. I hope to be able to give them a positive answer!

I have heard in the name of important rabbonim that when a person is inspired they should take on themselves something small for a short period of time. E.g. you want to improve in tefilla - decide to concentrate on the first bracha of shmona esrei for the next week. You want to work on anger - decide that you won't get angry at your children between 4 and 5 till Rosh Chodesh. If you hear/read something inspiring and you don't translate it immediately into action it will be lost.
