After a long time, I am feeling motivated
to write. There were thoughts going on in my mind but there was no fuelling
motivation to keep 2 hours aside from a day and put the mind in a meditative
mode. I think people do what they do for either of the two reasons, prize or
conscience. Being driven by the prize is like a competition where you
concentrate on winning. If you are driven by conscience then you are likely to
get out of the comfort zone by choice not because the rules say so. In my case,
I get up early to cook daily because I feel motivated by my conscience and the
routine where I get ready to go to work (which I sometimes don’t like) is
driven by the prize of my salary.
You have got to find motivation strong
enough to keep u up throughout the day. The urge to learn is a great kind of
motivation and so is a desire to teach. I have seen people leaving the
comfortable jobs to teach in rural areas just like I have seen people learning
new technology at the age of 86.
Motivating others is an art, it requires
confidence and mastery over communication. You have got to appreciate the
leaders of terrorist groups. They are never low on the people; people who
gladly offer their lives for a cause which still is unknown. Just imagine their
motivation power and how effectively communicated their purpose is.
Sometimes motivation is not enough to keep
going, you need courage too. Even if I am motivated, what wonder can I do if I
am afraid to face the hurdle or consequences?
Find the motivation for yourself, to keep u
going and doing something truly great.
Find the motivation in a person or a thought or a
thing or trophy, but find it.
