Being motivated to change isn’t some magical force that appears when you need it most.
It’s messy, elusive, and often absent when we’re trying to make real change.
Here’s the hard truth: most people don’t care enough to make the changes we say we want to make.
We may set goals and make plans, but when it comes down to putting in the work, we falter.
If this feels like something you do, then ask yourself this:
"Do I care enough to push through the discomfort? Am I willing to take that first awkward, imperfect step?"
In the end, real change doesn’t come to those waiting to be motivated but to those who care enough to take action when it's easier to find an excuse not to.

This is great eric. Totally agree with this perspective. One of the most rewarding benefits to my daily art streak is that this perspective permeates into other parts of life. You start to see how the first steps are always messy and unpleasant. You start to see failure as progress.
Messy and elusive is where magic happens!
