Some people have it. Some don’t.
Is motivation something that only belongs to certain people?
Or do we all have it?
And if we do, how do we get it?
To get straight to the point, you need to have the right goal. That is the first step. Having something to aim for that triggers motivation. You cannot be motivated without something to aim for. And something exciting too.
BUT I have found there is one challenge many people face and maybe you are facing this too.
You are not sure what it is that you want. Many people are not.
I wasn’t for a long time. I didn’t know what I wanted.
Life is a discovery. But many people don’t take the time to discover.
When I grew up, some people around me knew exactly what they wanted. They were very clear about that and that made me a little envious but more importantly CURIOUS.
Some people have an idea of what they want but are not entirely sure.
And some people haven’t got a clue and they never really take the time to find out.
It doesn’t matter where you are on this scale of knowing exactly what you want all the way down to not having a clue, as long as you have the curiosity to find out.
This is a goal in itself. A very big and important goal. Probably the most important goal you could ever have. To find out what it is you really, really want.
What gave me the curiosity was the contrast in people’s lives. The difference between being happy and miserable, the difference in the energy people gave off – or didn’t give off. You can notice it a mile off.
Think of somebody you know who is loving life. Think of how they make you feel when you are around them.
Now think of somebody you know who is miserable. Somebody who is a drag to be around.
Big difference right?
HUGE.
It is our own responsibility to discover our desires for ourselves.
And you can only do this by giving it some dedicated thought.
What do you enjoy doing? Think of 3 times in your life where you have been the happiest. What were the key factors? Who were you with? What were you doing? Where were you?
Look at what others are doing, what motivates them? Does it interest you? If it does, ask them about it or read a book about that subject or surf the internet for more information.
What are you strengths? What are you good at? If you are not sure, ask the people closest to you for some feedback.
Use this information to discover more about what makes you tick.
This will move you much closer to where you want to be.
Or you could carry on wandering through life while a small percentage really LIVE it.
Your choice.
Choose wisely!
Inspiring you to be the best you can be,
