But we should also not forget the difference between what first motivated me and the work that is the result.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think when you focus on the work, it becomes a simpler pursuit.
So I just had to step up how I was doing it and the moment that I stepped up and the moment I focused all my energy on that is when things started to happen. So there's a direct relationship between my inspiration and my output.
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.
If the motivation is gone, then I am finished.
The motivation is in my heart to work toward my goals and my dreams.
The beginning is the most important part of the work.
Your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing.
For about the first ten years of my career, I wasn't terribly motivated.
Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.
