Success isn’t about waiting until you feel motivated. It’s about pushing through when you don’t. In this episode of The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III explores Prosperity Pillar #3—I act in spite of my mood. Learn how to stay consistent, operate from a place of love, and use practical strategies to follow through even when you don’t feel like it.
Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. How’s your Monday morning started out? If you’re listening to this, I don’t know if you’re tuning in during the morning or afternoon, but I want to ask you—how did your day start?
When you got out of bed this morning, did you jump out excited, or did you hit that alarm four times on the snooze button? I’ll admit, I do that once in a while. I use the snooze button, no question.
As I was getting going today, I thought about how Mondays are the perfect time to focus on prosperity pillars.
Today I want to talk about prosperity pillar number three: I act in spite of my mood.
So often, we have our goals, dreams, and desires, but we don’t feel like doing what we need to do. The ability to push through those moments makes all the difference.
Before I get ahead of myself, I want to share the mastermind quote of the day from the Daily Mastermind mobile app. Make sure you download it—it’s free.
The quote today is a little different. Generally, we feature business and entrepreneurial quotes, but today it is: “We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence and its only end.”
I want to plant that seed in your mind as you start your week.
Ask yourself: are you doing good in the world? Are you inspiring and helping others? Are you giving back with purpose? Are you operating from a place of love, or are you operating from a place of what’s in it for me?
I know there are times you don’t feel like getting up in the morning, working out, making that last sales call, or having one more conversation. You’re not alone—this happens to everyone. It’s natural when you’re pushing beyond your comfort zone to build the best version of yourself.
But if you want success, you have to learn to act in spite of your mood. That’s when results show up.
One of the best ways I’ve found to push through is to stop making it about myself. When I feel like I need a break but know I must keep going, I shift my focus to my goal, my purpose, or the people I’m doing it for.
When you stop making it about you—when you make it about a relationship, a cause, or a passion—you’ll find more fuel to keep moving. When you operate from love and abundance, it becomes easier to take action.
So let’s talk about some strategies you can use to act in spite of your mood, especially when you’re struggling to stay consistent or impatient for results.
First, set goals with clear direction and focus. When you know exactly what you’re aiming for, you’ll find it easier to act even when you don’t feel like it.
Second, make commitments ahead of time. Laying out your clothes for the gym the night before, scheduling a meeting, or making a promise to someone locks in the action before the moment of decision.
Third, use the five-second rule. When you know you need to act, you have about five seconds before doubt and indecision creep in. If you take action within that window, you move forward. If you wait, doubt wins.
Fourth, create power statements. For me, one of the reasons I keep the Prosperity Pillars poster is so I can repeat to myself, “I act in spite of my mood. I see the vision. I do what it takes. I succeed with every step forward.” Power statements become triggers in those moments of hesitation.
Fifth, change your state. Music, books, pictures, and reminders can quickly shift your mindset and emotions. That’s one reason I created the mobile app—so you can access inspiration in real time. I’ll often play music in the morning to get momentum for the gym or look at pictures and vision boards that remind me why I’m doing the work.
Finally, create supporting habits. Motivation and discipline fade, but habits carry you through. Daily rituals for your mind, body, spirit, business, family, and finances will keep you moving even when you don’t feel like it.
Acting in spite of your mood is a difference maker. But the secret isn’t just in doing it once—it’s in doing it consistently.
Consistency sets you apart. It’s what keeps you moving when others slow down. Whether it’s goals, commitments, power statements, or state changes, consistency builds long-term discipline and results.
Write down the phrase I act in spite of my mood. Put it on your mirror, in your car, or on your computer screen. Repeat it until it becomes part of who you are.
The small wins matter. Every time you do something when you don’t feel like it—whether making that call, going to the gym, or tackling the hard task—you give yourself proof that you’re in control. Those wins build confidence and self-esteem. Over time, they stack up and shape the version of yourself you want to be.
So that’s my message for today. I hope you have an amazing week. I’ve got a lot of great content coming for you, so make sure you’re subscribed and don’t miss any episodes.
Remember—it’s never too late to start living the life you were meant to live. And the best way to start is by acting in spite of your mood.
