Motivation is unreliable, spiking and crashing like a sugar rush. Build a stable identity instead, one that doesn't shift with your mood or circumstances. Your identity is like a driver's license: it stays the same whether you're having a great day or a terrible one.
Motivation is a scam. Motivation is a scam. Motivation is sugar. It spikes and it's gone. That's why you can watch every video on YouTube. You be motivated for all the 30 minutes, then you go right back to the old because motivation is is not it can't be the center of your success strategy. It comes and it goes. That's why we work on identity. Identity. You got identity on your best day. You got identity on your worst day. On the best day of your life, if you pulled your driver's license out and looked at it, if you pulled your ID out of your pocket and looked at it, it's at the same address, it's at the same name, it's at the same height, it said the same weight. On your worst day, if you pull that ID out and look at it, it's gonna have the same name, it's gonna have the same— the information don't change in your ID based on how the day is going. So if this is the ID that you're carrying around, it don't matter who the president is because look at my ID. It don't matter what the economy doing. Look at my ID. It don't matter if 100 people tell me no today. Look at my ID. Circumstances don't change what's on your ID.
