Keep Going

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." - Jim Ryun

Some people wake up in the morning without an alarm, rested and ready to tackle the day. Nothing dampens their spirit. Not even thunderstorms, flat tires, or power outages. That's motivation.

Others hit the snooze button several times and blindly go through the morning routine. They don't really become conscious until after the second cup of coffee. That's a habit.

Sometimes habit creates motivation. We have to develop the habit of learning from our failures and successes. Each lesson learned builds our skills and confidence. As the skill and confidence grows, we find our motivation.

Motivation doesn't have to come first, but it helps. Keep going.

Have a great week.
