Jackie Beck explains that what most people call motivation is actually short-lived inspiration, while real motivation is the deeper reason behind why you want change.

Focusing on that deeper purpose helps you persist through setbacks and permanently change your financial habits.

Quotes to ponder:
“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily.”
“Real motivation does last, because your motivation is the reason behind why you’re doing something.”
“You don’t have to feel excited and inspired all the time. You just have to keep moving forward and doing the work, while you keep your reason in sight.”
