Beyond the Illusion Of Motivation - 6x5km Run Challenge
Aug 06, 2023 3:07 pm
You know , motivation is like this tricky thing to grasp, almost like trying to catch a glimpse of the sun in Scotland – it's pretty rare!
Some people get so caught up in waiting for motivation to hit them like a lightning bolt, daydreaming about it, and seeking inspiration from books and motivational speakers.
But let me tell you, just being exposed to all that motivational stuff won't necessarily light that fire inside you.
It's kinda sad to see folks stuck in this waiting game, hoping for some magical inspiration to come their way.
They think motivation is this special queen who picks her favorites and grants them her favor. But that's not really how it works.
The real deal is that motivation comes from taking action, from taking that first step towards your goals, regardless of whether that magical queen shows up or not. It's not about just waiting around for motivation to show up; it's about your determination and dedication to get things done.
You see, the pros – those who've mastered this game – they don't waste time wondering when motivation will strike.
- They keep moving forward, facing challenges head-on with strong determination.
- They don't rely on a fleeting feeling to guide them; they trust in their own strength and dedication.
- While some get stuck, captivated by the allure of motivation's fleeting touch, the pros break free from that spell.
- They understand that real power comes from taking action, not from sitting around and daydreaming.
- They know that success comes from putting in the hard work and effort, not just getting inspired.
So, sure, let the dreamers dream, and let the seekers seek. They can find inspiration in books and speeches, no doubt. But let the pros be an example of how action and perseverance are what really matter.
Because in the end, it's not just motivation that determines their success – it's their relentless pursuit of their goals, with or without that fleeting assistance.
