Powerful force

Motivation cannot occur in a vacuum. The sustained motivation to do anything comes from doing it.

It’s not that you must first be motivated and then take action. The action itself is what deepens and expands your motivation.

You won’t be able to just pull a reason to care out of thin air. What gives you a reason to care is your investment of time and energy in caring.

Stop searching for a reason, or hoping one will fall out of the sky. Start making one with your time, your energy, your actions.

The more steps you take, the more you will come to care about the destination. Start by acting on faith, and soon you’ll be acting with motivation, momentum, and a clear sense of meaningful purpose.

Engage the powerful force that is your life. And continue to discover all the goodness that force can bring into being.

— Ralph Marston
