“Motivation is not going to strike you like lightning. And motivation is not something that someone else – nurse, doctor, family member – can bestow or force on you. The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever.”
19.) Realize that You are Closer than You Think
20.) Celebrate – Treat yourself when you get the results, finish a program, a race, etc.
