Motivation is something that most people don't know, some people know it but they are not forcing themselves to feel motivated everyday. Motivation is something you feel whenever you wanted to give up already. Motivation doesn't happen before taking actions, it happens in the middle of the journey. Look at some people who watched a lot of motivational videos and attend a lot of seminars by fake gurus... they still can't move, they just feel good for a while and then they feel lazy again. It's because they will not even start after watching a motivational video in you tube or after wasting some time attending a seminar that only gets their money.
Motivation is simply moving forward, it's simply starting, once you start... you're already motivated. Stop letting your mind worry for a bit, stop overthinking and just do what you need to do. Discipline yourself to simply start fast, and once you start... the momentum will start to kick in and it's your duty to keep it running. Motivation doesn't mean you need to feel good, it means you need to move forward while feeling bad. And so what if you feel bad? if you're really giving your best and your intention is strong then you will become successful in just a matter of time. It's all about finishing, it's all about not giving up, always remember that you don't need to become the best to become successful, you just need to have an unparalleled willpower and you will get everything you want in life.
HOW MUCH IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF MOTIVATION TO MOVE AND WIN?
Only little, yeah, you heard me right... only little. You don't need a lot of it. Once you made up your mind that you're not going to quit then that's it. Keep moving forward and never quit. Just don't quit and you will win. It's so simple right, you just need to outlast everyone and you will become the happiest and proudest man in the world. Look at Vince Carter, he is playing for almost 20 years I guess, he doesn't have any championship or MVP but most people still look up to him. It's because he can outlast everyone, he is durable and tenacious. He wants to keep playing and that is why success keeps on coming to him. He doesn't care, he will just play. You don't need a lot of motivation, all you need to do is remember what you want, remember the goal that you set months or years ago. Because at the end of the day you still need to work hard regardless if you're motivated or not.
FORGET ABOUT THE GOOD FEELINGS
Always remember that you will never feel good unless you take actions. You feel weak, you don't have enough energy because it's already your habit to feel lazy and slow. But if you will force yourself to move fast and just do it no matter what then you will somehow be able to change how you feel from feeling weak to feeling a little bit alive. All it takes is doing the first move, that's it. Once you pulled the trigger... everything else will fall apart, you will figure out what to do next, you will have a clue, you will little by little move closer from what you want. Success doesn't care about your feelings, so what if you feel bad? you're not excuse. Remember, you're the one who needs success, success doesn't need you. Who are you to complain? who are you to make dramas about having a bad day or having a little flu? Man up, show up, if you want to become a winner then you need to push past pain and stop making dramas about how tired you are. You have to make a choice, resting and pampering yourself or winning?
FOCUS ON ENJOYING THE NEXT STEP REQUIRED
There is a step that you need to do to get ahead. You need to become fast on executing the next step. What is the next step? do it. Do it fast, do it without even thinking at all. All it takes is execution, just execute, just do it and stop thinking about the next other steps. Focus on the step in front of you and give your very best to finish it. Even if that step doesn't feel good or right... just do it, and after doing it focus on the next one and the next one. Never stop until you're done, because you really need to finish it. If you will not do it then what will you do? if you will not take actions then you will go insane, your mind will always wander, it will be poisoned, it will think about a lot of regrets in the past. It's all about enjoying the little steps, enjoy the small steps... that's it. If you can have fun even if you feel that it's difficult then you will have an easier day.
WHENEVER YOU FEEL UNMOTIVATED HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Just do something that is related to the task that you need to do. If you need to exercise then just wear your shoes or simply warm up, or simply walk. You don't need to take a bath, you don't need to look or smell good, you just need to move and the rest will be uncovered by itself. If you need to cook then just open the stove, if you need to clean your comfort room then just open the faucet. All you need is do the first step, the next steps will take care of itself. Once you did the first step and you keep moving forward, you will feel good even if you feel lazy, you will become motivated a little bit, a momentum will be established.
The reality is you don't eve need anything to get started, you don't even need motivation at all. Just set your mind to just do it and never mind if you succeed or not, focus on the process not on the results, focus on moving forward and be relentless until you finished it. Remember that success is all about pushing through whether you feel good or not, never care about your feelings and just power through no matter what. Laziness is a habit, you become lazy because you keep on pampering yourself but if you will say to yourself that you need to do it or else you're going to die then you will do it. It's all about conditioning your mind to start fast and simply take the first step regardless of what the situation is. It will be easier to become successful if you're a fast starter. Just start now and discipline yourself to never do anything else until you're done.
