Episode 2951: Stephen Guise challenges the common belief that motivation is required for action, revealing how it often traps us in cycles of inaction. By focusing on small, manageable behaviors instead of waiting to “feel like it,” we can sidestep the unreliable nature of motivation and build real, lasting progress through consistent action. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://minihabits.com/stop-waiting-for-motivation/ Quotes to ponder: "Every person is already motivated at all times, it’s just not always motivation to do the right things." "You want to do X, but you wish you wanted to do Y. You desire the desire!" "Some think that action follows motivation. The truth? Motivation follows action." Learn more about your ad choices.
