The “Motivation” Lie That’s Keeping You Stuck

Let’s cut the fluff.

You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a discipline problem.

Most people wait for motivation to strike before taking action. That’s why they never get anywhere. Motivation is unreliable. It comes and goes like the weather. But discipline? That’s a system you can build.

Here’s how:

• Start disgustingly small. Want to start working out? Do ONE push-up. Want to read more? Read ONE sentence. The goal is to make action so easy that you can’t fail.

• Anchor it to something you already do. After brushing your teeth, do that push-up. After making coffee, read that sentence. Your brain loves routines. Use that to your advantage.

• Make it impossible to fail. Put your gym clothes on your bed. Set your book next to your phone. Design your environment so laziness isn’t an option.

Success isn’t about being motivated—it’s about making action automatic. Kill the excuses. Build the habit. The results will follow.

What’s one habit you’ve been avoiding? Hit reply and tell me. Let’s make it stupidly easy to start.
