Motivation - Мatt - 07-01-2013
I feel that this is lacked by many and no one really has drive to do anything. So many people want to go out and party and live on the edge. Granted, we've all had that mindset and I have been there as well. However, there have been times I am sure where you're deeply depressed with life and you have no money because you've spent it all, your parents are yelling at you because you either have no job or you're always out partying, and your grades could be slumping. This is all certain points in my life that has happened and honestly, I'm fed up.
Sooner or later, you're going to have that sudden boost of motivation and either an opportunity / job is going to be offered to you, or an event happens and it's going to inspire you to do great things. Well this thread is going to be directed to not only motivate you, but keep you motivated because coming from someone who has struggled greatly for very long, I'm ready to change your life and help you change others as well.
Close your eyes and place yourself in a moment or situation that you would love to be in. You can be working your dream job, driving your dream car, and have no further worries. Now take note that no matter how financially stable and happy you are, there will be bad times as well and this is what will make us appreciate the good times much more. If there was no sadness or letdowns in life, we would never appreciate the actual feeling of "happiness" nor would we even know what "sadness" or "happiness" is since we're feeling one emotion at all times.
Now that you've imagined your dream situation, take notes on what you have and look up how you can achieve those feelings or goods that you so badly want. We all need to have goals to be able to push us to go forward and if not, search for it. Find someone or something that gets you in a good feeling and use that to really bring you to the top. We all want something in life and not all of us are going to get it because we don't have that motivation to push us to do it. Most of us are wasting time around and not doing anything about it. You don't need eBook niches, marketing skills, or even much smarts. If you can read, write, and do simple math, go teach yourself something new.
Learning something new is going to be the main characteristic that will make you different than the others. Too many people nowadays are looking to keep within their boundaries and not change it up. Go to different places, talk to different people, and learn a new trade or skill. Every single second of your life should be driven and motivated to go do something and if you find yourself struggling, go to someone that can motivate you or support you in your darkest times. Whether it be in person or the internet, there's always going to be someone that inspires you. Hell, even if you have a professional athlete as a hero, use his success and failures to learn and push yourselves up.
Example, as stated previously, I had my father pass away and granted I was already struggling with school, work, and so much more. Although I just pulled a new job, I wasn't very happy with it and my business was suffering terribly. I remember how much of an advocate my father was on keeping a great business and keeping everyone around him happy. There was never a bad thing said about my father where I lived and if I ever did meet someone that did have something negative, I would be curious as to what my father did so wrong so I could learn from it. However, I have yet to find that person. My family has been so close and have been through many ups and downs. No matter what though, we stuck through it all.
I understand that not everyone has a close family and some have an even better family situation than myself. It's about making the most of any situation and second of your life. Each moment, there is money to be made, lives to be changed, and people to be struggling. The attitude you even have on one person can change their life and inspire them to share it with others. Happiness and success is always shared through others and is passed down. How others take it is entirely up to them. Just know that everyone is given an opportunity to do something different and take a chance to make some changes.
