Hi again!
We were always taught that motivation is required for action, so if you’re not taking action, you need motivation.
We’ve developed all kinds of rain dances to summon motivation, but do you know what the simplest stimulant of motivation is?
Action!
When people tell me they’re not doing something because they lack motivation, I sometimes provoke a thought by telling them this quotation from Steve Chandler:
Motivation isn’t the requirement for action. It’s the result of action.
Well, the truth is it’s a dance. Motivation and action dance together. Doing things stimulates motivation. Motivation stimulates doing things.
It doesn’t change that the easiest way to inject some energy into the dance of motivation and action is to pick one small thing and decide to do it with energy and enthusiasm.
Try it when you need it. Let me know how you get on.
Wishing you happy success,
Steve.
