“The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it”
— John C. Maxwell

Simplified Meaning:
Many people believe you need to feel inspired or motivated to start something or achieve a goal. This quote suggests that waiting for motivation can be deceptive because it might never come. Instead, taking action, even when you don't feel like it, is more effective. For example, think about a student who needs to study for a big exam. If they wait to feel motivated, they might waste a lot of time. But if they start studying regardless of how they feel, they’ll make progress and likely start to feel more motivated because they see results. So, rather than waiting for the perfect moment or feeling, just begin the task, and motivation will often follow. This approach helps you achieve your goals more consistently and quickly.
