Do you allow your feelings to dictate whether or not you do what you need to do in order to achieve the things you have set out for yourself ? Do you always need your circumstances to be perfect in order to remain consistent and motivated ? Do you need to be in the mood ? The reality is that our feelings are changed and impacted by external and internal factors that we cannot always control. Our feelings fluctuate, so we cannot allow how we feel to determine our actions in terms of our pursuits. We have to remain focused, pushing past our own feelings and temporal moods of laziness and discouragement if we truly want to reach the end destination of our goals. No matter why your goal is, whether it is personal growth or a more tangible achievement, you need to actively make a decision, every single day that you will do what needs to be done despite your own feelings. We cannot allow temporary feelings to determine eternal results.
