When we have strong willing power to be motivated ourselves, it only work at that moment. I've learned the lesson today from a movie where there a timid and emotional person always take help from others and at he faced troubles in life for taking help from others. His younger brother tried a lot motivate him to be self dependent and brave but the willing power was missing to make him self-motivated.
Now you can say everything is possible in a movie but movies are based on real life stories. Its true untill we suffer, we don't be strong or brave. Our sufferings makes us strong and brave so our strong willing power help us to be brave and self-motivation is also important. When we say to ourselves that all is going to be good and work accordingly, good things will surely happen today or tomorrow.
Sometimes we emotional people find this earth cruel and this is very natural because this earth is For brave people whose mostly found self-motivated. The self-motivation works when you are strong enough to face any kind of negative things or something wrong happening in your life. There are many can motivate us but the motivation only will work when we will work for it and our strong wish can make it work for us.
Now question is when the strong willing power will start appearing inside us? The moment we experience difficulties and feel broken for something, when we learn lessons from lives. Its true that life of others also motivate us many times but there also self-motivation exist or else that motivation could stay for temporary time.
We may hear so many motivational lectures but do you think that all motivational speeches works for us? There are few speech that we use for awaking the self-motivation inside us. When we have strong desire to have food and we have no money to buy it, we earn it because we are self-motivated to have the thing we want.
Maybe my discussion topic is not well explained but I just shared my mind, what I feel and what I see. Its a random thought and it has deep significance. I may missed out some points to explain well.
