Motivation fades fast — but so does a clean body, and we still shower every day. One habit: 5–10 minutes daily on content that genuinely inspires you.
How do you stay motivated?
For a lot of people, motivation is something very temporary, fleeting and unserious.
You watch some great video, read a good book, attend a really useful training, talk to someone — you fill up with motivation and decide to do something.
Then you wake up the next morning and go back to your usual rhythm of life and busyness.
When that happens a few times, a person starts writing off in advance any content or event that might give them extra motivation.
As in: what’s the point of stirring yourself up emotionally if, like a helium balloon, it all deflates within a couple of days…
People often say that motivation disappears quickly. But the same thing happens to the cleanliness of our body — and that’s exactly why it makes sense to wash every day.
One habit that helps me enormously in life is knowing how to plan my motivation.
Every day I try to spend 5–10 minutes watching a video or any other content that inspires me.
Lately I regularly watch the Ben Lionel Scott channel on YouTube, and I really enjoy macken21e’s videos on Instagram.
Each of us will have our own unique motivation. Some of you will be motivated by travel content, some will enjoy watching videos of the beautiful lives of wealthy people, and someone else will be inspired by Beast Philanthropy.
For some people the source of motivation will be meeting other people in person.
It doesn’t matter that much what motivates you or why. What matters is that we know how to plan our motivation and give it time.
Even the biggest fire will go out quickly if you don’t throw wood on it regularly.
It makes absolutely no difference how interesting the opportunities available to us are, or how big our base of resources is, if we want nothing at all and have simply burned down to ash.
So what things motivate you? How often do you give your motivation some time?

Reading helps, but what changes a life is specific steps, not reading. Fifty minutes of conversation is usually enough to see which steps are yours.
