Self Motivation

When you have a burning desire to do something there is no need of any motivation at all. But when you have the desire but it is not that much intense then there is a need for external motivation. Motivation is nothing but a technique to make one from idle mode to active mode. As we turn the screen on and start using the smart phone in the same way turning on your mind and activating it to work on something desired or something important.

 

What to do when there is no desire? Look for it. There is no human being who can survive without a desire. The desire could be vague like living happily, having great fun, being adventurous, taking care of family, eating well every day, sleeping and so on. The desire could be more specific as well like becoming a doctor, becoming an engineer, becoming an entrepreneur, getting a better job, writing a book, getting a good spouse (if single) and so on. Look for it if you do not have one. Check yourself once whether you are working for your desires or not.

 

When you desire always desire for the best then only you will get a better one at least. For example, if you desire for a car, desire to buy a Benz or Audi and start working on it intensely. If you are able to buy only Tata Nano do not regret be happy that you have got one car at least now and there is always chance of upgrading it to Benz one day. Then whenever you see your car, you will be always getting the motivation to work for a better car. But remember you must make yourself worthy enough to get the best car. You cannot be a mediocre guy and get a Benz easily. You should become a brilliant and smart guy for getting the best car.

 

If you are able to visualize your desire or dream clearly there is always a high chance of achieving it. Rather than desiring to own a thing, desire to do a process. For example, rather than owning a Benz car desire to drive it or desire to sit in it and travel comfortably. Rather than desiring to become a doctor desire to treat the patients effectively and dream yourself becoming happy while doing the same. Rather than desiring to become a great cricketer desire to play cricket with all your focus and perfection. Because the process is the reality. When you dream on the process there is higher chance of achieving it.

 

Once you have the intense desire ready then motivation is automatic. If you do not have the intensity for your desire what to do? Imagine yourself to be in that situation when you have achieved the desire/dream. Visualize vividly. Consider your desire as a valuable one because without desire you cannot live. Respect your desire and do not take it lightly. And if the desire is going to benefit others then there is a high chance of achieving it. Success is nothing but achieving your desire/dream not that of anyone else.

 

A man went to Socrates and asked for the secret of success. Socrates asked him to come to a river bank the next day. He went to the river bank for meeting Socrates the next day. Socrates was not uttering any words. The man got worried and expected a reply. He remained Socrates about the question he asked the last day. Socrates asked the man to close his eyes. He submerged the man into the water suddenly and the man was struggling to get out of the water. The man was struggling harder to get out but in vain. Finally, he managed to slip out from Socrates’ grip. After coming out the man took a series of breathes and then shouted on Socrates. Socrates calmly asked the man what he was thinking when he was under water. The man replied he was not thinking and he was struggling to get air. Socrates replied “if you have that much intense desire for your success as you had for air inside water then you will achieve it for sure!”

 

Desire big! Achieve big! Wishing you all the best.
