Motivation Is Doing It Anyway

You pretend to be brave when you’re scared. And that pretending is bravery.

Motivation works the same way. When you do the work even when you don’t feel motivated,

that is motivation. You make it possible, then possible again, and again, until possibility

becomes normal. Your entire outlook on life starts to shift. Your mindset turns

positive — even if you had to lie to yourself at first. Sometimes you have to build a small

delusion just to move forward. A lot of people are scared to try their hardest,

because if you try hard and fail, it hurts. It makes you feel like a failure.

But failure doesn’t come from not succeeding. Failure comes from quitting on yourself.
