Motivation is the key to success, because it’s the one thing that keeps us moving forward no matter the adversities we confront. Motivation it’s s the one thing that pushes us to accomplish more and doesn’t allows us to quit. Motivation helps us to become better at our craft and to reach our goals. It is also the reason one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.
Example:
Let’s picture our life as the ocean and our motivation will be a sailing boat. We are going to be the captain of this boat. Our actions will be the win and the current that move the boat. Sometimes we are going to have good days and sometimes we are going to have bad days, but no matter what we are going to move. The only difference is going to be the way we drive our boat. If we don’t take action, we will just seat in the middle of the ocean. We need to learn to read the current of the ocean and the wind. Only then we will be able to take the correct path towards our goal. In our life we are going to have some great days and some not so great. We might even get caught in a bad storm, where the sky will turn black and the only light in the sky will be the thunders. Are we going to give up and let the boat sink? No, we will take the necessary actions to get out of the storm and find our way back to our destination.
Many of us spend a lot of time listening to motivational speakers, reading motivational books, and more. Some of us think that by just doing that, success will appear in our life knocking at our door. It does sound beautiful, but the reality is different.
Example:
Lets say we want to eat a mango and we start to spend a lot of time listening about how delicious this fruit is. We listen to other people accomplishments of their mango tree. Do you think just by listening to other talking about our goal, we are going to have a magical mango tree grow in out backyard. No, we need to go out and buy the seed for the mango tree. We need to find the perfect spot to grow our mango tree. We need to check the soil to make sure that it has the nutrients for our tree. We need to dig the hole where we are going to put our seed. We have to put water every day to grow it. We are going to take care of this tree for years before we get to taste the fruit of our hard work and discipline. Now think about how much more you are going to enjoy this fruit that you grew from a seed. Also, once the tree is fully developed, you will never need to buy another mango again. Your mango tree will provide you with those delicious mangos for the rest of your life.
