"Do it, and then you will feel motivated to do it." — Zig Ziglar

Ever notice how hard it feels to get started sometimes? It’s like your brain whispers, “Let’s wait for motivation to show up,” and before you know it, an hour (or a day) has gone by. But here’s a little secret: motivation doesn’t come first. Action does.

Think about the last time you pushed yourself to start something you didn’t really feel like doing. Maybe it was a workout, cleaning the house, or tackling a project at work. At first, it felt like a chore. But then, as you got into it, something shifted. Suddenly, you found your groove, and finishing it didn’t seem so bad anymore. That’s the magic of momentum.

Starting creates energy, and energy feeds motivation. It’s like lighting a match. The flame might start small, but with the right fuel, it grows. Taking that first step, no matter how small, flips a switch in your brain. You go from “I can’t” to “I’m doing this!” 🪄

So, next time you’re stuck, don’t wait for the perfect wave of inspiration. Just start. The spark you’re looking for will come once you’re in motion. And who knows? You might even surprise yourself with how far you go.
