Day 336 – Motivation Comes After You Start

Do you really need motivation? Not sure on that. Perhaps at some level. However, I can tell you right now that if you are going to wait for motivation to come, you are going to wait a long time.

Motivation comes after you start, not normally before. If you are going to wait until that day that you get motivated, then what is going to happen is that if that day ever comes then you will get started and then when the motivation stops, you will stop.

Power of a commitment comes when you start WITHOUT motivation. Being able to get up and going without that feeling of being motivated is the secret. Most people, including myself, will wait for a lifetime to get that feeling of motivation, or become dependent on it to do anything. This is why you will forever keep saying, next week, or next month, or next year I will get started.

Just get started. Get on the path. Stop waiting for motivation, get started and the motivation will find you.
