In this is tiny leaps, we talk about why relying on motivation is quite honestly a terrible idea.

Get excited because this is tiny leaps. Leaps. Welcome to another episode of tiny leaps, big changes where I share simple strategies you can use to get more out of your life.

My name is Greg Clunice and in this episode we are looking at the topic of motivation of needing to be motivated

in order to get things done. This is something that we all do. This is something that we

all rely on way more than we should and it's something that quite honestly might be the

number one thing holding you back.

So this is going to be a super insightful episode, hopefully one that helps change the way

you think about motivation and changes the way you think

about taking action. So make sure you stick around until the end. Now with that said

before we jump into today's episode, Voting has always been important to me because, well, honestly,

I wasn't always able to. I've talked about this on the podcast before, but I didn't become a U.S.

citizen until I was was 21 or 22.

While that may not seem like a huge deal,

it meant that up until the 2016 election,

I didn't feel personally connected to the role that politics and policy played in my life.

Sure, I was here in this country paying taxes, living under policies determined by the government, and trying my hardest to create a life for myself, but I couldn't do anything about what was going on, so why focus on it?

Then, when I finally took the oath, quite honestly everything changed.

All of a sudden I had this tiny little bit of power to do something.

I could help elect local government who are responsible for fixing all of the issues in my neighborhood like that pothole at the end of the street.

I could help elect state government who determined things like school funding,

and I could even help elect national government who determined major things like spending priorities on a national level, foreign policy, so on and so forth.

And I realized just how much of an effect voting could have on my ability to create change in my life every day.
