Is Motivation a Myth ?



So we all are in the world of competition, struggles & skill development moreover we all are in need of motivation.


Is Motivation a Myth ?


Are you the one who feels hard to accomplish your goals, and feel lazy to start your work knowingly how important that work is !


See it's a common problem that we all face and that happens due to lack of motivation and inspiration.


But is there anything like motivation ?And what if I tell you that there is nothing like motivation, it is just a myth !




    Maybe you will not believe it, but the reality is that motivation is a myth. Why ? Let's find out together 


    So first thing first, why do we feel like not doing our work, like we know that this work is important but still we can't do it so why does this happen ?


    So the answer is very simple, because our brain doesn't like boring things it wants to enjoy, it avoids doing hard work.


    So we feel lazy and try to avoid our work as much as possible, keeping ourselves relaxed. 


    Being lazy and being active all lies in our head. It's up to you how you deal with your monkey mind because you know it's easy to count the number of stars but it's hard to know what your mind is thinking.


    Our mind has infinite thoughts that have no end. Do you know it's hard to control it? 


    So from the above conclusion we can say that it's hard to control our mind but not impossible.


    There are two specific ways to do control your mind 


    If there is any way we can make your work interesting, then our brain would like to do it.


    Know it can happen but you see you can't make your boring work interesting, like for example you are given to type the data on excel sheet, how would you make it interesting ?


    The second way we will discuss at the end, so read till the end and find out the master stroke to get your mind on track.


    Moving on, motivation is a myth. Why ? 


     4 reasons that proves motivation is a myth !


    1. Motivation doesn't last long 


    2. We all search for motivation outside, but it simply lies inside our mind and as a result we never get the best result.


    3. Motivation is for short term goals like racing, a cricket match, or something else, you can't stay motivated throughout your whole life.


    4. Motivation makes you focus on the result, but it never gives you the path to achieve that result. 


    Ok so now it is proved that motivation is a myth why people actually focus on motivation ? Why do people want to stay motivated ? What is the need of motivation in life ?


    The answer to all these questions is people are frustrated because of their work ethics, struggles, lack of productivity and efficiency.


    As I have said earlier, this is the world of competition and everyone wants to win so everybody tries to improve themselves.


    They search for a reason to start working on their goals, they search for a fire, they search for spark and this is the point where people go for motivation and not to opt for discipline in life.


    How to escape from the problem of motivation ?


    See in order to overcome lack of motivation you have to depend on yourself to start your work, don't think for a reason to start working.


    Be a reason for your goals, just be focused and work hard, don't search for spark and fire.


    This is the biggest mistake that we all make. We search for motivation, we search for fire and then we fool ourselves by watching youtube videos.


    Remember one thing there is nothing like motivation, just thinking about your goals and making a plan will not earn you success, you have to work hard.


    The possible way to replace motivation 


    The best way to avoid the problem of motivation is to stay disciplined, be disciplined in life.


    If you have to do something then just do it, don't think for time, don't think for situations, if you wanna do then just do it.


    Disciplined, have discipline in your thoughts, have discipline in your actions.


    Bonus tip 


    Now the second tip that i have left in between the post ; 


    The 2 min Rule 


    A study on motivation says that we feel lazy not to do our work , but we feel lazy to take that initial first step.


    If anyhow we are able to take that initial step then we can easily do our rest of the work. So what you have to do is ;


    Just start doing your work for just 2 mins, for example if you want to read a book then just read for 2 mins. 


    Then you will not feel bored to do that particular work you kept on doing and doing.


    That's all and this technique actually works. 


    Conclusion 


    Motivation is a myth but motivation exists in case you are preparing for short term goals, so if you are the one who is on the mission to achieve your goals then stop depending on motivation.


    Be disciplined.


    That's all
