How to Keep Going When You Want to Quit

By Don on November 8, 2017 2

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Motivation is a huge topic.

There are books, seminars, even movies about it. Motivation is the glamorous part of getting something done.

Habit is the hard work.

Habit is getting out of bed when you’d rather sleep in, choosing a carrot over a cookie, and going to the gym even when you don’t feel like it.

Motivation can get you going, but only HABIT can KEEP you going.

So, how do you create a habit?

Repetition. Desire. Action.

Roadturn Principle: NEVER give up.

Let’s talk about it…

    Is that Jim Rohn you mentioned? I am a great admirer of his wisdom.

      No, Sandra. Jim Ryun. Olympic Silver Medalist, first high school athlete to run a mile in under four minutes, and former Congressman from Kansas. I am an admirer of Jim Rohn, as well, and do quote him elsewhere … here, for instance: If you don’t, who will?
