I'm never motivated to wake up at 4 a.m.

and go to the gym when my body hurts and I'm exhausted.

I'm never motivated to do that.

But I said I was going to do it.

So I have to.

I have to because the easiest word to break

is to yourself.

No one can see it.

No one knows if you're lying to yourself.

You can have this whole conversation going on in your mind right now of why it's okay that you didn't get up and read or send your emails or go for the walk.

It doesn't matter if it's walk your dog.

I don't care what it is.

The moment you say you're going to do something you don't do it, you chip away at your confidence.

So that's how I feel.

And again, you don't want to think of it as, oh my God, I'm a bad person because I didn't wake up today and go to the gym or do whatever.

There's going to be those days.

But to sit there and go, you know what?

The mere fact that I'm not going to do something because I'm not motivated gives me zero joy.

Why are we waiting on the motivation?

Because nothing will ever get done.
