One
question.. which often clouds the mind when you are Down, when you are Low,
when you are Shattered, when you are Hurt, when you are Broken, when you are Hopeless,
when your are Helpless, when you feel that You Have come to an End .. is WHAT
CAN MOTIVATE ME ?
What
can Motivate ? or What Motivates ? Is this really the right question ? because
if it is then why you are Down ? Why you
are Low ? Why you are Shattered ? Why you are Hurt ? Why you are Broken ? Why
you are Hopeless ? Why you are Helpless ? Why you think you have come to an End
?
Even
when you know the answer to the Question What can Motivate ? or What
Motivates? You will still be clouded
with any or all of the above feelings and however you may know what can
motivate you, YOU STILL TEND TO LOSE IT !
Now
this is REALLY THE BIG QUESTION.. WHY YOU LOSE IT? or WHY YOU LOSE MOTIVATION?
Lets
first define Motivation.. MOTIVATION is a FEELING which DRIVES you to an OBJECTIVE.
If we go by the same definition then YOU LOSE MOTIVATION when you LOSE OUT
either on FEELING or on DRIVE or on both of them, this happens because of
DISTRACTIONS which affect your SELF-IMAGE.
The
answer to the BIG QUESTION.. WHY YOU LOSE MOTIVATION? is because of
DISTRACTIONS which affect your SELF-IMAGE.
All
of us have created a SELF-IMAGE which usually is bigger than our REAL SELF. We
love living for this IMAGE, we keep feeding this IMAGE with achievable GOALS or
OBJECTIVES, and these motivate us.
In simple words we are MOTIVATED for an
Objective because it improves our SELF-IMAGE. Thus, we LOSE MOTIVATION by a
DISTRACTION, which directly or indirectly affects our SELF-IMAGE and stops us
from achieving our OBJECTIVE.
The
SOLUTION to keep yourself constantly MOTIVATED is to ignore the DISTRACTIONS
and accept your REAL SELF, the way GOD has made you. This REAL-SELF is far more
beautiful and real than the SELF-IMAGE you have created.
