Do you completely believe in motivation? Motivation is not at all enough to complete your tasks or goal, or make life better. You will be on track of challenges that I gave you last week. Have you noticed the changes? Were these changes possible after reading motivational things or motivating yourself? According to me it’s no. The question is why. You will get it at the end of reading this article. And I bet, this will be life changing.
What is motivation ?
Let’s understand it from the word itself. Motivation comes from the word “motive”. It means reason for doing something. It guides us towards the motive and reminds us about the goal. But remember, it is not permanent. how? you might have experienced it. Initially you motivate yourself for doing something, but it just reminds you about your goal. Increase your desire and excitement. But you also have to work for it.
Why motivation does not work sometimes?
Simple answer is because it is alone. Motivation boosts your determination. Now its job of willpower (ability to control yourself) that will make you DO the action. Once you do or act, it will itself motivate you to do more. Do not overthink on place of being motivated. Little motivation + will power to DO more with planning and perfection is what smart as well as hard workers need. Don’t get puzzled with motivating words. Plan first, act on it, motivate a little to boost determination and keep doing with will power. Always if follow the proverb, Action speaks louder then words, you have build up a strong foundation with action, and willpower + little motivation (if needed) will fulfill the goal.
So, challenges make you DO something and here action the base not motivation, hence, it is much more effective then being motivated. Yes, but you need willpower to fulfill these challenges.
