How To Stay Motivated

About This Talk

Chris shares how to stay motivated when things aren’t going the way you want. He reminds listeners that there’s often a breakdown before a breakthrough, so a goal can feel hardest just as it gets close. He asks them to see a rough patch as one moment in a longer process, and to hang on for one more day or one more hour.

Key Ideas

• The closer you get to a goal, the harder it can feel, which often means a breakthrough is near.
• Any process has peaks and valleys, and a worthy goal may be a little harder, so remember this is just a moment in time.
• Hang on by telling yourself you just need to get through this one section, one more day or one more hour.

“What you’ll find is that you’re way closer to the end than you think you are.”
