Motivation is temporary. In order to get through the long haul, you have to be able to add/remove daily habits as needed.
This.
Had this problem heavy before.. even posted about it.
Until I realized that Goals don't work.
Yes.
They Don't.
They force you to put off life and happiness until you've achieved it,
Give you a grandiose chunk that you just "HAVE TO" accomplish,
And sap you of energy when you don't accomplish it.
So then how do you do it?
It's all about SYSTEMS.
Systems are the things you do daily to achieve your goal.
Systems work.
Systems you can control.
If you're a coach, you want to win a championship, your system is what your team does in practice every day.
If your goal is get fit, your system is your daily fitness routine and eating schedule.
If your goal is 1M/year, your system is your daily sales calls/ sales attempts.
Figure out the system behind your goal...
And make the SYSTEM your goal.
Your daily process will GUARANTEE your success.
Plus you'll be in control and happy that your achieving.
Not to mention unlimited motivation, since all you have to do is win your daily system.
Your winning every day, and those wins stack up after a while, and you see results.
Hope that helps, it's what did it for me.
