I Don’t Usually Do This, But…

When someone says “I don’t usually do this”, they regularly do what they deny doing.

That’s 100 percent facts.

Well, that certainty is reduced to 99.999999999 percent because I DON’T USUALLY DO WHAT I’M ABOUT TO DO!!!

…

Those of you who know me personally or have been following me long enough know that I’m not a big believer in external motivation. For the most part, it’s fleeting, rendering it worthless. As a client, that’s why you don’t hear me uttering words of encouragement. And as a subscriber or follower, that’s why you don’t see me posting motivational quotes and other vapid shit on any of my platforms.

Additionally, my job isn’t to motivate you. That’s your fucking job. My job is to take already motivated people and make them better.

With that said, I just ran into a quote that I actually like so I’m sharing it below because it encapsulates a point, that of staying the course with something rather than doing what so many do, which is deviate from a plan and/or quit.

The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

– Herbert Kaufman, someone neither of us are familiar with
