While it is true that some people respond better to external motivation, it is not my case... and of course, I do not judge those who are on that side. Everyone has their own motives and knows the way that is feasible for them, always open to third party motivations to achieve their goals.
As far as I am concerned I am my main motivation, I like to get up every day thanking for a new opportunity, motivating me to always learn something new, since being in constant learning is very satisfying.
We are human, we are not exempt from feeling unmotivated, from not even feeling like getting out of bed, from comparing ourselves over and over again with others and from thinking and thinking about everything we are missing and what we have not achieved. However, it is up to us to get out of this state, to get internal motivation... More than motivation, we must have the discipline to get ahead, to go out to work, to exercise, to eat healthy, to leave bad habits aside.
I think that discipline is the previous step to motivation, since motivation comes and goes. It happened to me a lot when I was studying for an exam at the university, at the beginning I felt super motivated studying the first topics, then as the days passed that mood was declining, stopping studying because I did not feel "motivated" and studying everything at the last minute.
Until I understood that more than motivation is a matter of discipline, to do it even if it seems boring at some point because for better or worse, what you do is to achieve a personal goal and only you are the one who decides whether to leave it that way or move forward.
Thank you very much for coming here, I hope you have a wonderful weekend... hugs, see you later.
