Of course motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Motivation is temporary and needs to be renewed regularly, just like personal hygiene.
This quote by Zig Ziglar highlights the idea that motivation is not a constant state; it requires regular effort and renewal, similar to the routine of bathing. Just as we need to maintain our cleanliness for our well-being, we must also actively seek motivation to inspire ourselves to achieve our goals and maintain our productivity.
