Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
                                                      --  Joseph Addison

Motivation is important but it doesn't last. Here are three quotes on translating motivation into habit:

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle
