Our Habits rules us after all

• What you do regularly adds up in your default setting. 

• After some point in time you do it anyway (acting choicelessly, devoid of a control).
  

Habits play a huge role in our life. More than 90% of the things you do are on a Repeat-Mode.

We try achieving everything at one go

• Realistic planning goes out for a toss.
  

We try to achieve everything in one go. Eventually, achieving none.

Motivation in itself becomes a Trap

• After a high, do you stop there?

• As a result, you fall back to the pray of repeated kicks after kicks…

You go back to the same loop of gratifying and feeling good. 

It Dulls away the scope for Questioning

• Questioning is a Painful Process.

• Motivation is always from outside. 

• But questioning involves you to doubt and go within yourselves.

Questioning demands you to doubt your actions, existing ideas and beliefs that you carry along.

The Takeaway

• Figure out your own source of inspiration. 

• Always start with “Why” and show up on what really matters. 

• Brush aside all the feelings and emotions. They are temporary anyway.

Focus on the Process. Rest everything will follow by itself!
