I certainly do. In fact, I\u2019ve been struggling with it today. Whether it\u2019s perfectionism, fear of the unknown, or simply feeling exhausted, there are plenty of days when we don\u2019t feel motivated to take the actions necessary to achieve our goals. In today\u2019s episode, I\u2019m sharing what I call the four cornerstones of motivation: clarity, commitment, discipline, and faith. I\u2019ll explain why you shouldn't wait around hoping to feel motivated, and why learning to act your way into feeling can help you generate the motivation you need to move forward. I\u2019ll also share how I use these principles in my own life when I\u2019m struggling with perfectionism or stepping outside my comfort zone, why your feelings can be unreliable indicators of what you should do, and how maintaining unwavering faith can keep you moving forward when your effort hasn\u2019t produced the results you hoped for yet. KEY TAKEAWAYS Motivation is a system you generate, not a feeling you wait for. The four cornerstones of motivation: clarity, commitment, discipline, and faith.
