For me the key to staying motivated in my work year in and year out, is to reinvent myself. By reinvent, I mean force myself to do things I never do or think about how I do them and to never, ever stop learning.
I came across this bit of advice and have tacked it above my phone as a reminder to be present and to embrace change.
If you have been sitting, stand.
If you have been standing, sit.
If you have been traveling, stay home.
If you have been home, travel.
If you have been teaching, learn.
If you have been learning, teach.
If you have been talking, listen.
If you have been listening, talk.

Very cool. Reminds me of Gandhi's words of wisdom that I try to live by: live as though you were going to die tomorrow, and learn as though you were going to live forever.
I really like this yin and yang list you have above your phone.
This is EXACTLY what I'm going to write about today! Wow. Love being on a wavelength with you. I'm going to steal the aphorism ... and of course give you credit!
