“In life, we either need inspiration or desperation.”

• Tony Robbins

Inspiration can create a spark to initiate a personal revolution.

But motivation is fickle and cannot be trusted.

Desperation kickstarts our fight or flight system. Running away from fear can be a stronger motivator than chasing something we want.

Both of these things can light the fire but they rarely will fan the flame. 

Eventually, inspiration and desperation fade and we begin to get acclimated to the comfort zone.

We must use these things to propel us forward but then we must develop grit and discipline to stay on the path.

Don’t trust these emotions long term.

Use them initially and milk them for what they’re worth.

Then the real work begins.
