If you depend on sudden peaks of motivation, you will never fulfill your dream.
And I’m not saying this to anyone but myself. I’m a person who likes to work only under two conditions. Either I really love the thing I’m doing or I’m really motivated from within. After trying both ways, I have come to a conclusion. Sure, I’m proud of myself for getting work done. But on the other hand, I’m also disappointed that I’m not disciplined enough.
I don’t know why, but I can’t just work because I have to. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It is probably a bad thing because I give into each and every distraction that can help make my life easier. The adult in me is resistant to coming out. The inner child in me is healed, pampered, and has motivation to the extent that I just take life one day at a time. I worry about things, of course. I can overthink for hours on end. But are those things worth worrying about? I’m not sure. Am I working to make my situation better? No. And that’s the worst part.
I might seem like an incompetent person who always relies on external motivation since I write so much about my feelings and problems that I face. But I have to give myself credit where it’s due. I GET THE WORK DONE, and it is up to my standards. I love the time crunch because the deadlines give me anxiety and help me bring myself to work whenever I get distracted. I am not that bad!
See? This is where my inner police draws the line. The doses of motivation I intake daily help me when I am down. But that being said, all I know is that if I keep working at this minimum capacity of mine, I’m going nowhere. I really have to get myself together before it’s too late. And if you are in the same boat as me, you better buckle up.
Take this as a reminder, a warning, or an ultimatum. Things WILL go downhill if we don’t do anything right now. We need to start NOW. Whether its a small step like making your to-do list or a fairly major step like finally starting your business, things need to get done. Motivation will come and go; its time to stiffen up and act like we really mean it when we say, “I have to make my dream come true.”
Until next time, Adios amigo!
One fine day, when I had the motivation, I started this journey of blogging and today I need you to know how it all started. You can read why my journey began HERE!
