The Pursuit of Happywell

Ep. 5 Why Motivation Sets You Up for Failure (And What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

Struggling to stick with your goals? In this eye-opening episode, Scott and Kristen challenge the common belief that all you need is motivation and willpower to create lasting change in your life.

What you'll discover:

  • The surprising reason 92% of New Year's resolutions fail by February
  • Why willpower is like a muscle that fatigues (and what that means for your goals)
  • The powerful truth behind James Clear's quote: "You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems"
  • How your environment might be secretly sabotaging your best intentions
  • Simple strategies to build habits that stick even when motivation vanishes

"Motivation might get you going, but systems will keep you growing." - Scott

Tune in to discover why those bursts of inspiration keep fizzling out and learn the practical framework that actually creates lasting change in your life.
