Are you ready for hard truths and actionable advice that actually gets results? See why motivation alone isn’t enough and learn how to leverage your strengths and passion for real progress.
Self-Reflection Question
Where in my life am I waiting to “feel motivated” instead of doing what needs to be done—and how has that delay affected my progress?
This question exposes the trap of emotional dependency. GI Griffin makes it clear: motivation is fleeting, and those who wait for it stay stuck. Real power comes from doing the work regardless of how you feel. This reflection helps you confront how often you’ve used lack of motivation as an excuse for inaction.
