Why Motivation is So Hard

You know, we really need to stop beating ourselves up over not feeling motivated because, you know what, if you don't feel motivated all the time, guess what? You're human.

Our bodies are designed to follow the law of least effort to conserve energy, and this is what's allowed us to survive as a species for so long.

You may have heard of Newton's first law of motion and it goes something like "a body at rest will tend to stay at rest unless it is acted upon by an outside force and a body in motion will tend to stay in motion unless it's acted upon with some resistance" or something like that.

And you really need to ask yourself, if you're at rest, what is going to make you start moving? What's going to give you that energy? What is going to motivate you? And it has to be yourself, right? It states in Newton's law of motion that it needs to be acted upon. So either you need to act upon it or somebody else is going to act upon it for you.

So say for instance, when it comes to training, you need to motivate yourself. You need to get out of your chair and start training, and that's going to get you moving because you don't want an outside force acting upon you. That gets you motivated because that could be somebody coming into your home, breaking into your home, doing something to you and your family. You don't want to wait for that to get motivated to train. You need to act upon yourself.

Listen, I know it's going to be hard. You literally need to fight against what your body is designed to do to be able to get to where you want to be, but I'll tell you this, once you start going, it's going to start snowballing and it gets so much easier.

Starting is always the hardest part. It's like trying to get a steam engine moving, you know, a big long train and it takes a lot of power, a lot of energy, in your case, a lot of self-motivation to get moving, but you know what? Once that steam train gets moving, it's very hard to stop and you're going to be hard to stop too.
