The question isn’t whether or not you’ll stay motivated.
-
Because you won’t.
-
Not because you don’t want to.
-
But because it’s impossible to stay motivated for anything (regardless of how much you want it).
-
In the same way it’s unrealistic to expect to be happy all day, every day... it’s equally unrealistic to expect to be motivated all day, every day.
-
Motivation is a feeling.
-
An emotion.
-
The more you search for it and try to find it, the more it will evade you.
-
You might have moments in which you think you finally trapped it.
-
But just like trapping water in your cupped hands... motivation will slip between the cracks in your fingers until, once again, your hands are empty.
-
The question isn’t whether or not you’ll stay motivated.
-
The question is whether or not you’ll do what you say you want to do regardless of whether or not you’re motivated.
-
That’s not a feeling or emotion.
-
That’s you staying honest to yourself and keeping to your word.
-
You will not stay forever motivated to do everything you want.
-
None of us will.
-
But the difference between those who succeed and those who don’t lies in who is willing to put in the work when nobody is watching.
-
Who is willing to make the harder decision that will make you proud rather than the easier decision that will make you comfortable.
-
So stop looking for motivation.
-
Start asking yourself if you’re ready to commit to doing what you say you want to do regardless of whether or not you’re motivated.
-
Because when you can truthfully agree to doing that.. you will start succeeding.
-
Now.
-
Let’s crack on with 2020, shall we?
