Summary
Each of us can fall into a slump from time to time when we lack the drive to achieve our goals. Though many of us attempt to troubleshoot this problem backwards. In truth, motivation is the result of action, not the cause of it. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, join Monica and Michael for a compelling conversation about keeping desire and motivation alive as we work toward our higher purpose.
“If you do not protect your desire, you will find that you lack the motivation necessary to achieve big and important things.” – Michael Berg

| 0:00.0 | Find the action or the motivation in the unmotivating days, and you will find that the power and drive |
| 0:16.9 | that that brings you as much greater even than what you would accomplish on days that you're fully motivated. |
| 0:26.2 | And most importantly, most importantly, a person will never achieve great things unless they are consistently acting when they are unmotivated. |
| 0:36.6 | Welcome to the spiritually hungry podcast. |
| 0:43.7 | Well, so today we're going to talk about motivation. And I think it's an awesome topic. |
| 0:52.2 | I think we are generally motivated people. Me and you mean? Yes. |
