"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going"
- Jim Ryun
About this Quote
This quote by Jim Ryun talks to the value of both motivation and routine in accomplishing success. Motivation is the stimulate that gets us started on a task or objective. It is the initial interest and drive that propels us forward. Nevertheless, inspiration alone is inadequate to sustain us. We need to develop practices that will keep us going even when the initial interest has faded. Habits are the constant actions that we require to move us closer to our objectives. They are the small actions that we take every day that amount to huge outcomes. By establishing habits that support our goals, we can guarantee that we remain on track and accomplish success.
