Motivation
We all crave motivation. That inner spark that pushes us to get up and make things happen, to pursue our goals with energy and enthusiasm. We want to start each day with a sense of purpose, feeling driven and ready to tackle whatever comes our way.
But let’s face it, motivation can be elusive.
There are plenty of misconceptions about what truly drives us:
- We often think we need to be naturally passionate about something to stay motivated.
- We convince ourselves that motivation is an innate quality, something some people are just born with.
- We assume that motivation is purely a feeling that comes and goes at will.
These beliefs can hold us back, making it easy to avoid taking the actions that lead to real progress.
In reality, motivation isn’t about waiting for the right moment or feeling. It’s a skill, a habit that we can build and strengthen over time. It’s not something that just happens to us, it’s something we create for ourselves through intentional practice.
Let’s explore how you can harness and cultivate motivation in a way that sticks.
