Every morning I set my “opportunity clock”, as Zig Ziglar refers to it as, to go and workout. And believe me, I’m not the most wide awake and well put together person at 4am. But it’s often that I sometimes feel motivation is portrayed by the “big speech at work” or the “motivational talk before the big game” or even the “cliche meme” that is supposed to get me out of my chair and seize the day. And I agree with Ziglar when he says motivation is not “whooping and hollerin”. Rather, I view motivation as an oyster and a piece of grit, irritated enough to polish the grit into a pearl.
