One of the key points I make during my presentations is that in order to keep growing over time, we have to get motivated on a regular basis, even for those of us who are already 'successful'. Motivation is like vitamins as we need regular doses of them. Having several sources of motivation that one can tap into will go a long way to keep us going in the right direction.

And be pleasantly surprised when things happen quickly. I think being willing to make a commitment and stick with it is really crucial, as you’ve said.

You have to be willing to push through doing it poorly until you are finally able to get it right. As for the longevity of change, almost anyone can do something differently just for today, but sustainable change relies on a whole lot more than just taking in new information or trying on new skills. We've got a whole lot of baggage in the form of habits of thought (attitudes) that, left unaddressed, will have us backsliding before we know it. Knowing and doing for the long haul are very different things. I completely agree with you on this one.
