#but you can’t skip the sucky beginning part. thats the price to pay

Motivation really does follow action and that was such a hard lesson for me to learn. Took years of hearing it in therapy to actually apply it to my life

I kept waiting for a day when I felt good enough to clean my apartment. That day never came, so I never cleaned. The only thing that made me want to clean my apartment was to clean it when I DIDNT want to enough times for it to become a habit. Now I feel some energy and drive every day to do a few chores.

I waited to feel like I wanted to draw for years. I didn’t draw. A few weeks ago I started “forcing” myself at least once a day to doodle something. Anything. Now today I actually felt inspired about an idea for a drawing

If you spend your life waiting for motivation to find you, you’ll waste your life. Do the things you want to do even when you don’t feel like it, and it honestly does get easier.
