Joe Rogan says the core principle is taking action regardless of how you feel. Even when motivation is low and effort isn't at 100%, small consistent steps toward a goal yield long-term dividends. Successful people persist daily despite lack of desire.
I want to see what you do when you're tired. Let me see how you push yourself. Come on, man. Get up. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. The next day. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Keep going. You got to go do something. That's the number one thing, right? It's fucking action. Take action.
Even if it's not 100% your best effort every day, at least making small steps and small strides towards what you're trying to achieve, especially when you don't feel like it. Successful people don't always want to be doing what they're doing, man. Just do stuff every day, even when you don't want to. Pays dividends.
