It's commonsense that motivation comes before action; but in reality, action comes before motivation (where motivation is the feeling of wanting to do it; you can decide to do something whether you feel like it or not). Some argue that this applies to other feelings, even to love; that if you act as if you love something, then the feeling of love will follow: love is a verb.
