How Do You Keep Yourself Motivated in Life? – Vol. 478, Nov. 29, 2018
This was a question that I received on Quora, a forum where people ask questions and other people answer them. I loved this question because motivation is something that is important for so many aspects of life. So how do you stay motivated in life?
The only way to stay motivated in life is to do those things that you are interested in doing and enjoy. Motivation is an inside job, meaning that no one else can motivate you. Figure out what you want to do with your life’s energy and start working on it, a bit every day. You will be amazed at how easy motivation comes when you operate from this perspective.
Doing the things one “should” or “could” do would not be motivational. It has to be something that you care about and want to learn about and do.
I can tell you that any time I am given an interesting case to work in hypnotism, I get excited. I get truly motivated to look up everything on the subject of the issue the client has, to learn the background information to be of a true help to them. I get excited to work with how to do the work, and in some cases, it takes a consultation with someone else who knows more about the situation then I. That’s okay because I have mentored many people in my areas of expertise to help them do the best they can for their clients.
But, you need to figure out what “drives” you and do those things. “Drivers” are those things that you feel compelled to do – and we are speaking of constructive positive things here, explicitly. So long as you do that, you will always be motivated, making life so much more fun and interesting
