The Motivation Lie Your Parents Told You

The Motivation Lie Your Parents Told You

ByLarry Hagner

How many times have you been stuck waiting for that magical lightning bolt of motivation to finally get things done? I know I have, countless times.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned, and it’s what I want to share with you today: motivation is a lie we tell ourselves.

In this episode, I’m laying it all out. I’m not waiting for some feeling to strike me before I tackle what needs to be done, and neither should you. Real change, the kind that sticks, starts with action–whether you feel like it or not.

I’ll be sharing some of my own struggles and the practical steps I’ve taken to break free from this motivation trap. For me, it became about more than just my own goals; it was about showing up as the dad my kids deserve. That intention, that commitment to them, became the real kickstarter.
