What If The Opposite Is True?

Here are some logic statements that we take for granted:

Motivation ➡️ Action.

Happiness ➡️ Gratitude.

Ideas ➡️ Creative expression.

One is necessary for the other. You need to find motivation before you can do something.

I’d like to invite you to consider the possibility that, in fact, the opposite logic is true:

Motivation ⬅️ Action.

Happiness ⬅️ Gratitude.

Ideas ⬅️ Creative expression.

Sit with this for a moment — and consider how it changes everything.
