The Laws of Growth
“Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever,” advises Maxwell. “Do it without motivation and then guess what. After you start doing the thing, that’s when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it. Motivation is like love and happiness. It’s a by-product. When you’re actively engaged in doing something, it sneaks up and zaps you when you least expect it. As Harvard psychologist Jerome Bruner says, ‘You’re more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action.” So act! Whatever it is you know you should do, do it.’”
