Motivation is your fair-weather friend, the kind of friend who's only there when she feels like it, and so she is not a dependable friend. Dedication is like a true friend, the kind who is there through thick and thin. Dedication will get you off the couch or out of bed even when you don't feel like it, whereas motivation will desert you the moment you don't "feel" like doing what you need to do and what is best for you. I work as a personal trainer, and I can tell you that the people who are waiting until they feel "motivated" will probably never get started or will never keep going once they start. The people who rely on dedication to get to the gym are the ones who see change in their lives.</p></blockquote><p></p>
