They Say Motivation Doesn't Last

“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing that's why we recommend it daily.” — Zig Ziglar

According to Wikipedia habits are learned and represented in memory. Habits can either benefit or hurt the goals a person sets for themselves.

Psychology Today I think gives the best answer. The time it takes to make or break a habit depends on the individual.

The point is to get to a place of creating possibilities one has to be willing to step outside their norm and create new opportunities. Which in some cases requires a new set of habits, daily activities, and more over a new way of thinking and perceiving the world.  

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result! They are right.

Realizing possibilities are the easy part. Getting there - dealing with ourselves and getting motivated - is the hard part!

But then again - that is just my Opinion.
