If you’ve ever written a goal on January 1st like, “This year I will become a completely new person,” you already know the tragic truth: not all goals are born equal. Some goals motivate you like rocket fuel; others quietly sabotage you while pretending to help.
If you’ve ever set a goal that made you feel unstoppable — like you were the main character in an inspirational movie — you know the feeling of good motivation.

If you’ve ever wondered why two people can face the exact same challenge and react in completely opposite ways, you’re not alone.

Most people think motivation is a moment.
A spark.
A rush of inspiration.
A dramatic movie scene where the music swells and the hero suddenly finds the strength to do the impossible.
