You’ve got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.

John Irving

Getting started is the easy part.

Coincidentally, this is also the part we tend to put the most thought and effort. To help that along, there are endless flash in the pan ideas to feed that initial burst of inspiration.

Staying obsessed… keeping at it… pushing through… disciplining yourself to stay the course…

This is what separates the breakthroughs from the dreamers.

It separates those who consider it a part of their life and those who look upon it with pangs of regret.

If anything, we should stop looking at what motivates us and start looking at what keeps us going. What is it that can get us to set a goal so ridiculously high and seemingly almost unachievable, then pursue it obsessively at all costs?

Answer that question and a whole new world opens up to you.
