Quotes to ponder:

"When your heart’s not in a goal, you’ll procrastinate, and even if you push through and succeed, the victory will feel hollow."

"Heart-centered motivation makes you feel inspired, uplifted, and energized. It taps into your spirit and creativity."

"Your feelings are your internal compass. Trust them."
