Most people think they need more motivation. The real problem may be that they are relying on the wrong fuel altogether. In this episode, Mykie Stiller and Arash Vossoughi explore the difference between motivation and drive, and why lasting success depends on more than temporary feelings. Drawing on Arash's own experience, they unpack the shift from relying on bursts of motivation to building the discipline needed for consistent results. The conversation explores the connection between drive and identity, why some goals inspire greater follow-through than others, and how self-belief influences the standards we set for ourselves. Along the way, they challenge common assumptions about consistency and explain why true drive comes from falling in love with an idea rather than forcing yourself to take action. Listen in for practical insights on building momentum that lasts!
