I learned this expression from my mom. It has been my motto many times in life. When it comes to exercise, there are many times you just have to decide to do it even if you aren't in the mood. If I don't feel like running, I put on my running shoes and go ANYWAYS. Lots of times, I find myself enjoying my run several minutes into it, though I didn't think I was going to particularly enjoy myself that day at all.
I think this applies to many things in life. Sometimes I have to read my scriptures, do the dishes, go to work, or start a project even though I'm not in the mood to do it. Intuition would tell you that you need to be motivated before you can get things done, or that you have to wait for inspiration to strike to get started. But I think it's very true that the motivation will often appear after you have begun and grow the harder you work.
