The most motivational speech is the one you use every day. You have to turn it on a bit after you wake up. You have to tell it to yourself when you brush your teeth. You need it for the energy to brush your teeth.

It’s the one that’s never needed.

You don’t think about brushing your teeth. You just do it. Without some huge burst of inspiration and convincing by anyone.

So what are the motivational speeches for?

It’s for those things where every cell in our body is looking for a reason to not do it. We just had it taken out of us for brushing our teeth or taking a shower. But we have to deal with it for everything else.

And it’ll only be dealt with when we no longer need to deal with it. When we no longer have to think about it.

“Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.” – Jocko Willink

Don’t look for motivation. Make the plan. And execute it. You can do it. It’s just like brushing your teeth.
