Episode notes

How motivated are we really to achieve our goals and dreams?

In this episode, we talk about where our motivation is right now, what drives us to pursue our goals, and why staying motivated can be difficult when progress seems slow.

We discuss how social media affects our motivation, the pressure of comparing ourselves to other people online, our current goals and ambitions, and how to keep going when the things we want to achieve are still a long way away.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:

What keeps you motivated when you're working towards a goal that could take years to achieve?
