Motivation Is Overrated
- Motivation is fleeting. Remember how that coffee and push-ups made you active? You probably had to repeat it to be motivated again.
- What you need to search for is drive and discipline. Sometimes when obstacles get in the way of our plans we easily give up. You have 1 hour for the gym but you finished your work late?

- Know what you want, why you want it, and work your bum every single day to achieve it.
