"Motivation often increases after you begin. The lesson is not to wish you had more motivation, but to make starting as easy as possible."

James Clear

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky explains that discipline precedes inspiration:

"Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy."

What looks like a talent gap is often a focus gap. The "all-star" is often an average to above-average performer who spends more time working on what is important and less time on distractions. The talent is staying focused."

James Clear

Many of the best things in life are endless.

Being in a great relationship. Staying fit and healthy. Doing work that fulfills you. Being a good parent, coach, or teacher.

Stop worrying about accomplishing these things and instead focus on building a life where you continually practice them.

The important stuff has no finish line.

James Clear
