What does it take to get you motivated? Is it the hope of pleasure or the fear of pain? Is it when you read something, or when you hear something? When you see something or you feel something?
Motivation is an interesting thing. Its a word that is thrown around a lot. Its something that we talk about often in varying circles of our life. How many times have I said to myself, 'I'm just not motivated today"?
Its important though. Without any motivation or inspiration, often life can become a dreary drab drag of a day that feels like it will never end. You end up feeling loathsome and depressed and you don't get anything accomplished in your life.
This should not be so.
Luckily, I have scoured the Universe and have found the key to all motivation for all people from this point forward. Oddly enough, I have found it in a video on the internet. I do not know the context of this Inspirational speech, or the Television show from which it came. I do know this- if you watch this video you will be utterly and completely motivated for all endeavors for the rest of your life.
Its the truth.
1. I absolutely love the part when the guy talks about people blaming others because of their lack of success. I think this part is key. Often times people blame their upbringing, their family, an event, a relationship, or something else as the reason why they are the way that they are. All it is is an excuse. A reason they can use for why they are seemingly unsuccessful. Its not true. Its a lie. You can become anything regardless of your background or experiences.
2. The battle cry at the end. Honestly, that is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. At first it seems out of context, but the more I reflect on it, it has fantastic context, and here's why- Emotional intensity. In life, regardless of the endeavor, you must have a measure of emotional intensity. This guy has some emotional intensity that is over the top, and in this case appears to have not saved him from being kicked off whatever pointless reality show this clip came from. But I still think it proves a point- be emotionally intense.
How are you on those two things? Do you blame others? Do you have any emotionally intensity to your goals?
Here's what you do- Next time you are talking to God, ask Him to help you forgive those people in your life that you have been holding a grudge against so that you can move forward. Declare that you will no longer hold them responsible for your shortcomings. Secondly, ask for inspiration for some emotional intensity. Now, this may not be manifested in such a way as this guy, but you should get some emotions behind what you do.
Don't blame others. Get emotionally intense.
Be blessed
