For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth it would look like complete destruciton.

I consider this one to be mainly a fitness/sports motivation, but you can apply it to many other things also:
Long term consistency beats short term intensity.
Bruce Lee
This is a simple, yet important concept. Doing 10 minutes of pushups or situps every day for 30 days is much better than doing half an hour every sunday for a month. Especially when it comes to training, wether muscle or brain training, it is about consitency and repition.
Progress takes time and the longer you train something, the more profound your knowledge will be in that field. This is why you can learn a language in a year but you won’t be able to master it in that time for example. And this is why discipline is so very important.
We are all used to little boosts of motivation every now and then. Suddenly you want to get fit, you get up early, hit the gym, eath healthy, you change your whole routine. This won’t last long, I can promise it. Instead, make small changes and focus on consistency. Start small, but don’t slack off. You will improve greatly, just be patient!
