motivation is a tricky thing to figure
out I can't think of one time in my
entire life that I've actually felt like
waking up before sunrise
[Music]
I've always been terrible at waking up
early notorious for hitting the snooze
button way too many times and I can
sleep through just about anything so me
and sunrise have just never gotten along
[Music]
similarly I rarely feel like going to
the gym and and sometimes I don't even
really feel like making videos not
because I don't want to but because I
don't really have any inspiration or
motivation to do it it's gonna be cold
out there but at the same time I've
never regretted going to the gym I've
definitely never regretted making a
video and not once in my entire life
have I ever regretted waking up before
sunrise
it's like why don't I do this every day
yeah I hate waking up at 5:00 a.m. but
they
once you do it and then you're done in
nine animals around it's like why am I
not doing this every single day this
feels so good so much more creative
it's awesome
[Music]
recently I was trying to think about
what it is that usually prevents me from
waking up for sunrise or stops me from
making a video I realized that it's
always when I let my feelings dictate my
actions instead of allowing my actions
to dictate my feelings action is always
the thing that will lead to motivation
to inspiration to creativity if you
think about it it's really difficult for
us to control the thoughts and the moods
and the feelings that we have in our
head it's a lot easier to control the
actual physical things that we do now
the coolest thing about this is that not
only does action lead to motivation but
motivation also leads to more action so
if you can just find a way to take that
first very small step that's gonna help
you to feel more motivated which is
going to help you to take the next small
action step I'm just going to make you
feel more motivated it's just this
endless cycle that continues to snowball
and all you can do is take control of it
and do whatever you can no matter how
small it is just take the action
so if if you've been watching this video
and have had something on your mind that
you know you want to do or a goal you
have or a project that you want to start
just do something find the smallest
easiest first bit of action that you can
take towards that goal and I promise
that will start a cycle that will help
you feel more motivated and want to take
more action so get out there and take
the first step
