00:00Every morning when you wake up, something inside you stirs, a spark, a whisper, a quiet force that

00:09says, go, sometimes you listen, sometimes you don't, but it's always there, the invisible

00:15motion that pulls life forward, we call it, motivation, but motivation, isn't what you

00:21think it is. You think motivation is energy, a rush, a burst, a feeling that drives you,

00:29but in truth, motivation is not born from movement, movement is born from motivation,

00:34and the secret is this, motivation isn't an emotion, it's a process, a science, a rhythm

00:39written deep inside your brain. Deep in your brain lies a chemical, dopamine, it's not the pleasure

00:44molecule like most believe, it's the anticipation molecule, it's not released when you get the

00:49reward, it's released when you chase it. That's why the journey, feels, alive. That's why progress

00:56feels better than perfection. Dopamine is your brain's way of saying, keep going, you're getting

01:02closer. But here's the trap. In a world of instant gratification, you've trained your brain to chase

01:08short rewards, notifications, validation, a hundred tiny hits that keep you busy, no but never fulfilled,

01:15your mind stays in motion, but never in direction.

01:18Real motivation doesn't come from pressure, it comes from purpose. When you forget why you started,

01:27your brain's reward system collapses, dopamine shuts down, energy fades, you call it laziness,

01:32but it's actually disconnection. You're not unmotivated, you're uninspired. Because, the human mind was

01:39never designed to move for nothing. It needs meaning. It needs a why. Psychologists call it,

01:44self-determination theory. It says we move, when three things align. Autonomy. The freedom to choose.

01:52Mastery. The drive to improve. Purpose. The belief that it matters. When those three exist,

01:58motivation becomes effortless. When they don't, even small steps feel impossible. So if you've

02:04lost motivation, it's not because you're weak. It's because you're out of alignment.

02:08Look back at every moment in your life when you felt unstoppable. You weren't just doing something,

02:16you were becoming someone. That's what the mind truly craves. Progress that changes identity.

02:21Because your subconscious doesn't chase goals, it chases self-concept. You don't want to go to the gym,

02:27you want to be healthy, you don't want to study, you want to be intelligent, you don't want to work,

02:31you want to matter. When your actions match your identity, motivation is automatic. But here's the

02:37paradox. Most people wait for motivation to start. They think they need to feel ready before they

02:42move. But the brain doesn't work that way. Action creates emotion. Movement creates momentum.

02:48That first step, you know, bite, oh see, even the smallest really bite, you know, what releases dopamine.

02:57And that dopamine creates more energy to keep going. That's how you build a feedback loop.

03:02I end up bird. Cry bite. A self-sustaining cycle of motion. So don't wait

03:07for motivation. Create it, by moving first.

03:12But, still. You'll have days when the fire fades. When every step feels heavy. When purpose feels

03:19distant. That's not failure. That's biology. Your brain wasn't designed for constant drive.

03:24It needs rest, reflection, stillness. Because even the most powerful engine burns out,

03:29if it never pauses to cool. Motivation is not a straight line. It's a pulse. A rhythm of effort

03:37and recovery. Learn to honor both. The doing and the being. Every motion in the mind begins with belief.

03:43The belief that movement matters. That change is possible. If your belief collapses,

03:49your motion stops. So the question isn't, how do I get motivated? It's, what do I believe about myself

03:55right now? Because every choice is a reflection of identity. And your brain always acts in alignment

04:01with the story you tell it. You are what you repeat. Being motivated is a key part of being

04:06successful as an entrepreneur. And as such, it's a subject that's always fascinated me. Motivation comes

04:11from vision, goal setting, and celebrating small successes. But there's more to it. There's actually a

04:17science behind motivation. In truth, it's all in your head. When you need to do a task,

04:23how you think about it has a lot to do with how you complete it, or whether you do it at all.

04:28Psychologists have identified three primary sources of resistance to getting things done.

04:33Once you can identify these factors in your own thought processes, you can change how you think

04:37in order to get yourself motivated. Resistance. I have to. Very few things create resistance as

04:43effectively as being forced to do something. Sometimes you may not even want to do things

04:48you usually enjoy, just because you feel you have to. This particular type of resistance keeps many

04:53people from taking an entrepreneurial step in their lives, as they don't want their formerly fun

04:58activities to become have-to tasks. Solution. I choose to. To combat this effect, change how you think.

05:06Realize that nothing in life is actually a have-to. You don't have to get up, and you don't have to go to

05:12work. You choose to, because you enjoy the benefits those actions create. When you focus

05:18on the benefits of your actions, resistance melts away. That story, the one you live by,

05:27is your psychological script. It defines your limits, your potential, your drive. Change the story,

05:33and you change the motion. That's the real science of motivation. Neuroplasticity, in action.

05:38Every time you act against your own doubt, you rewire your mind. That's not metaphor. That's

05:44measurable. Your mind literally reshapes itself to match what you do consistently. So don't chase

05:49motivation like it's a spark you must find. Build it, like it's a fire you must feed. Feed it with

05:54small winds. Feed it with meaning. Feed it with patience. And when it flickers, remember, the mind

06:00was never meant to burn constantly. It was meant to breathe. Inhale discipline. Exhale doubt.

06:06Inhale action. Exhale fear. That's the rhythm of progress. That's the pulse of the human spirit.

06:13Now, it's one thing to feel motivated. It is unfortunately, another thing entirely to actually

06:18find in yourself the ability to accomplish the tasks that you've set for yourself.

06:23This process of getting things done represents the intersection between motivation and willpower.

06:28The place, where you not only want to take action, but where you have the ability to

06:33execute as well. Therefore, no discussion on the science of motivation is complete without also

06:39mentioning the science that underpins our willpower or our ability to get things done. One of the most

06:46interesting discoveries of the last few years has been the realization that willpower is a finite

06:51resource. That is, you only get a certain amount of willpower on any given day. And once you've exhausted

06:58that supply, you'll find yourself feeling much less able to do the right things and act on the

07:03motivation that you may feel. For the scientific background underpinning this issue, consider a

07:08really fascinating study by researchers at Columbia University, which found that judges tend to make

07:15more rulings in favor of prisoners at the start of each of their three decision-making sessions.

07:19Rulings made later in the sessions, as demonstrated in this graph, were far more likely to favor the

07:25judges' interests, a result the researchers chalk up to decision fatigue. Essentially the more decisions

07:31we make, the more likely we are to become fatigued by these choices. As time goes on, our willpower

07:38diminishes and our ability to follow through on our motivations declines.

07:42Motivation isn't something you find, it's something you remember. You were born with it. The instinct

07:50to move. The will to grow. The drive to become. It never left you. It just fell asleep. And now,

07:57it's time to wake it. Your mind is in motion. Always. Even when you feel stuck. You're just between

08:05steps. So keep walking. Keep believing. Keep moving. Because the science behind motivation

08:11is you. Mind scripted. Understand your mind and you'll understand your power.
