These Three Simple Words Will Help You Overcome Your Lack Of Motivation
Facing the harsh truth will focus you on what truly matters.
We all have that one thing.
The one thing we should do — but don’t. Sorting out the paperwork that’s been sitting on your desk for ages. Spring-cleaning the house and garage. Finally signing up for the gym or getting back into your workouts again. Every time you try, your motivation falls off the cliff like a 1980s cartoon character.
So you procrastinate, tell yourself you’ll do it tomorrow, and sit down on the couch watching TV again — poof, all motivation gone.
I know how easy it is to make excuses. “I’ll do it when I have more time, once this is over, or next weekend when I’ve got more energy.” The harsh truth?
Most of these “tomorrows” never come — and we fall short of our potential.
“This is our big mistake: To think we look forward to death. Most of death is already gone. Whatever time has passed is owned by death.”
— Seneca
Do you want to be on your deathbed looking back at all the things you wish you did?
