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.

Just write. If you have to make a choice, if you say, 'Oh well, I'm going to put the writing away until my children are grown,' then you don't really want to be a writer. If you want to be a writer, you do your writing... If you don't do it, you probably don't want to be a writer, you just want to have written and be famous—which is very different.

It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to stumble because if you’re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar.

And when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.

There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor, the conquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.
