How to achieve something? How to fulfill all my dreams? How to change myself and become better? How to focus on my work?
Have you ever found yourself in a spot where you ask yourself such kind of questions?
Then you just need a magical spell that can solve your problems and that abracadabra spell is nothing but the right Motivation. We all need something to boost up our confidence and spirit to be able to do what we desire. That something is - Motivation. Though mountain dew is always there (pun intended) with us as our secondary option for motivation - "Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai", but real and actual motivation has a different meaning.
So if you ask Google - ok Google! What is motivation, it comes up with the following result:
Motivation is prsenting yourself with the exact reasons and facts that make you think and work only in one direction. It is something that makes you think in a positive direction and pushes you to adapt good habits which is actually very difficult to achieve with your daily activities. It’s like an energy drink that gives you wings to fly and reach to your desired destination.
We can surely get a lot of MOTIVATION by:
- Watching tonnes of motivational videos on YouTube.
- Reading motivational articles, like this one.
- Asking your dear friends or elder to guide you ahead in your life.
But what happens after all these activities is that we get addicted to see more and more motivational stuff and actually forget the real purpose of motivation which is to apply it in day to day life. There's a lot of difference between getting motivated and using that motivation to achieve your target, the latter requires a lot of hardwork.
Most of us follow only till the first step i.e. Getting the Motivation. But we forget the most important step, which is, using that Motivation to achieve your target.
Let's dive a little deeper into the ocean and understand the waves of real Motivation!
Motivation is the kind of energy that can reconfigure your mind, in such a way that it brings you on the right track to reach your destination. It's there to provide you with a kickstart. Motivation is just like waves, which can push you a little to move forward from the middle of the ocean towards the shore, but it is You and only You who has to swim forward in the ocean to reach the beautiful island of Success and trust me, it won't be easy to get there.
Just getting pushed by the waves of motivation won't be enough to reach your destination. You need to work hard. There will be times, when the waves may not be strong enough to push you, you will feel less motivated at times, but that's just a part of the journey, you must use your full strength and dedication, in such times, you need to use your full potential, you need to move your legs and hands more powerfully, to swim ahead. Life is not a cake walk, you will never be presented with your dreams, you have to fight and work hard to achieve your dreams.
Circumstances are different for everyone. Some may find the shore near to them, for others it may be too far. So never compare yourself with others. You do not know about their life, and you are no one to judge, how easy or difficult it was for them.
The biggest competitor for you is You Yourself. Now in every ocean, there are sharks - the Distractions. They are there to kill you as soon as you go near it. Therefore, you need to avoid and ignore them. In a student's life there are plenty of sharks in the ocean. It can be anything that stop you from becoming the best you can be.
In the end, with all the waves of Motivation and with all your efforts, you will reach the island - you will reach your desired destination.
So be patient, keep working hard, work with full dedication, keep hustling, and no one will stop you from achieving your goals. Just remember this line - "Don't Stop When You Are Tired. Stop When It Is Done". After all, when you will reach the destination, a new beautiful world would be waiting to cheer your hard work and to keep supporting you to achieve more in life :)
