So I came to this realization a couple days ago and ran it by Tyler; he agrees with its merit.
If ever you are lacking inspiration or are simply desiring some motivation for some task, read a magazine regarding that task. This phenomenon has worked for me all my life, but only recently have I really become cognizant of it. I bought two guitar magazines, read them both, and was filled with an intense desire to play, which continues even days later. This same thing happened when I received a skateboarding magazine along with my skateboard (birthday present). I had a burning drive to be Tony Hawk. Other times in my life where this magazine inspiration hit me particularly hard were when I received my monthly LEGO magazine. Those were the best. I’d get one, and play with my LEGO blocks for three days straight.
Moral of the story is, if ever you wish to be motivated for a particular activity, read a magazine about it.

I subscribed to Runner’s World magazine after reading this… Enthusiasm about running is at an all-time high.
I still get monthly LEGO magazines. And I read them.
