the lie you tell yourself before discipline shows up and does the actual work
means the internal drive or set of reasons that pushes a person to act toward a goal.
from From Latin 'motivus,' meaning 'moving' or 'serving to move,' built on 'movere,' 'to move' — the same root that gives us 'motion,' 'motor,' and 'emotion.' The word arrived in English through French ('motif') and gained its modern psychological sense, the inner force that sets us in motion, in the 19th century.
