One of the inspiring "quotes" that I actually remembered:
Q: How do you motivate yourself?
A: You don't. You just do it.
What about you?
This one was big for me. Motivation is bs, be disciplined instead

Motivation exists but it's more like a spark and less like fuel source.

Yeah this is something I’ve found myself relating to more as I get older.
When I was in high school I used to try and hype myself up to finish an important task, but the task of trying to motivate myself became a new task in and of itself. Much easier to just do the thing and get it over with.
