For achieving life goals and to work for dreams, Hard work with continuous efforts and dedication is all that required. We all are very well known of this fact but still, we don't take this seriously. We want to prosper and do well in our respective lives but without giving our one hundred percent, truly speaking. Everyone wants to live a posh life with luxurious cars, villas, travel, etc but don't want to make the required efforts to take life towards that path of luxury and this complete thing doesn't make any sense, right?
Our human mind and basic psychology are treated in a way that we use to do everything that is quite easy and doesn't require much effort. This is the reason why most people live an average life and only a few live their dream life. Everyone is aware of the fact that how much effort and hustle is required to dominate in this competitive world and to attain what they wished for. Even Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is somehow associated with this. That theory also teaches us that we need to be the best to survive in this world. Nature only select those who are the best and to be the best in any field, a lot of hard work, dedication, and efforts are required. If nature demands the best so what about humans?
Now, we usually come to comprehend this whole thing of career, life goals, achievements, etc in our twenties. Before that, we literally have no idea what life actually is. Then after realizing all this, we are needed to try our best so that in future we will be among the bests but we never do the same. Different factors like procrastination, lack of hard work, social media, and various other distractions don't let us do what is really needed and hence the life takes a turn in an opposite direction. And if somehow, we figure this thing out and start working out taking our life seriously, then there comes a lack of motivation.
WHAT MOTIVATION REALLY IS?
Motivation is an essential factor, required to achieve anything in life. It acts as a force that pushes us towards our goal and helps us in making our fortune. When motivation hits, we precisely work harder. So, motivation is important but the thing we needed to highlight here is the Internal motivation is the main key and not the External motivation.
(refer google for the exact definition)
External motivation is something that is not associated with our inner fulfillment.
Watching various motivational videos, listening to numerous motivational speeches, podcasts, etc. are external sources of motivation. This all motivational stuff works but for somedays or maybe some weeks and then our procrastination leads and we again start doing the old regular shit like an average. So, what was the fun of those motivational videos?
What those podcasts results?
All motivation you get from your mentors or some scholars etc acts as a form of external source and anything that you consume externally doesn't last long. One day or the other, its effect gonna vanish. So, you need to understand that motivation must come from within. Your subconscious must be aware of your actions and your life goals. The motivation that'd come from your subconscious i.e internally is the one that gonna really help you.
Internal motivation, the motivation from within.
Trust me, our results are directly proportional to our Internal motivations.
Internal motivation acts as an internal force to develop and to push us forward. Internal motivation is permanent and we can really prosper if we develop and act on using our subconscious mind as a source of our internal motivation.
Using external motivation as a source pushes you towards your goals but the winning spirit established by the external motivations is not enough alone to help you achieve your goals. It's only the internal motivation that would live with you, your entire life. So focus more on internal motivation and work hard to attain whatever you want.
My Opinion and What I think ;
I completely understand that each one of us wants to be the best of a kind. We all wanted to prosper and shine bright in our fields but at the same time, we are also acted upon by various factors like laziness, friends, parties, social media, alcohol, etc. These factors one way or the other are just causing destruction and we completely needed to ignore these things and hence work on our goals and dreams. Now, to work on dreams, we believe that we need some kind of external motivation. This external motivation may be proved to be useful sometimes but if you rely on this external motivation every time then don't you think it's of no significance at all.
So, you need to understand that it's only the internal motivation that will help you to prosper in life. So, try to find the source of internal motivation, try to make your subconscious efficient enough to help you develop a continuous source of internal motivation. The only thing I can do is, I can suggest something and that is a book obviously, ''The Power of your subconscious mind'' by Dr. Joseph Murphy. It's a great go. You must read it once. Hope your internal motivation will be developed and you'll achieve whatever you wished for!
Best Wishes!
Thank You.
