Omar Zenhom argues that waiting to feel motivated is backwards. Motivation comes after you start, not before. Most people never begin because they're waiting for the perfect mood or energy level that never arrives.
Motivation is not the cause of action. You get motivated when you take action. The biggest lie about motivation is the order of operations. Most people believe motivation comes first and action comes second. I need to feel motivated so that I can start. So they wait. They wait until they are in the right mood, in the right energy, are feeling the right vibe. They're waiting for that perfect day, that perfect morning where everything aligns. And that morning, that day rarely comes because that is not how motivation works. Action comes first. Motivation comes second.
