Episode notes

Motivation is the initial spark that drives you to the goal, such as wanting to lose weight. Discipline is the next level, ensuring consistency and pushing through challenges. Finally, devotion is the deep commitment to a larger purpose beyond oneself, like setting an example for children or prioritizing health for better energy. Devotion is the long-term motivation that helps to overcome setbacks and uncertainties, making a pledge to oneself like signing a contract, increasing the likelihood of success.
