If You’re Not Motivated to Become the Best You, This Is for You

I think there is really only one thing separating you from the life

that you really want to live.

I know exactly how it feels to have these big goals and dreams,

but have no clue how to actually reach them.

It seems like years keep passing,

and I make very little progress.

I’ve seen a lot of videos and read a lot of quotes

that got me inspired for maybe a day,

and then that motivation went away again.

So I’ve been trying really hard to figure out what it is exactly

that prevents me from making progress.

And I think I figured it out.

The Flaw: Waiting to Feel Ready

Lack of motivation always seems to be the thing that prevents

me from moving forward.

But that lack of motivation usually comes from waiting to feel motivated.

I think that is the major flaw:

I was letting my feelings dictate

what I was able to accomplish instead of actually taking action.

If I take action on a creative idea, my feelings will normally follow.

But if I wait to feel inspired to take action, I usually don’t act at all.

You can’t control when you’re going to feel inspired,

but you can control when you’re going to actually

start doing something.

Momentum Comes From Doing

When it comes to my goals, if I zoom out too far

and think about the big picture too much,

I don’t accomplish anything at all.

But when I focus on one thing and accomplish one small thing,

I’m able to be productive.

That is the key: taking action first.

Not waiting for the perfect moment.

Not waiting for motivation to magically show up.

Just starting.

Momentum doesn’t come from waiting; it comes from doing.

How many times have you sat around waiting to feel inspired,

only to waste hours scrolling and procrastinating?

That is the cycle that keeps you stuck.

That is the cycle that kept me stuck.

Just Take One Step

The moment you begin—even when you don’t feel like it,

something shifts.

Your brain kicks into gear, and your energy always seems to follow.

One small step leads to another.

So instead of overthinking and instead of waiting to feel ready,

just take one small step.

It doesn’t have to be perfectly planned out and strategic.

It just has to begin. Once you do, the inspiration will come.

The energy will follow. It always does.

The difference between those who actually create

and those who only dream about creating is taking action.

So today, take one small step in actually doing something,

and not just dreaming about it.
