The key to sustaining effort in any process is to reward the effort itself, especially during challenging moments, rather than just the outcomes.

You don't have to feel good about it; just keep going and push through.

Ultimately, nothing can substitute for putting in the hours and maintaining a mindset focused on hard work rather than shortcuts.

There's no passion, no motivation; it's about doing the work every day without those feelings, and I hate how many people use those words because they are watered down.

You don't have to feel good about it; you just have to keep going. The feeling will pass, but you will remain.

The source of sustained motivation comes from enjoying your work and believing it matters, rather than seeking fame or money.

You have to really care about your work to produce great results; you can tell who is genuinely invested in their work.

Putting in effort can be a source of meaning, as doing hard things tends to feel meaningful.

I don't believe in taking the easy route. My life has been about facing hardships and using them as fuel to push myself further, which is why I don't feel sorry for anyone who doesn't want to put in the effort to improve.
