If I am to pick a role in my circle of friends I am definitely going for motivation I have had a few frustrating experiences at different phases of my life right from childhood to date that have taught me so much, making me the man that I am currently. It hurts badly to see things you've invested all you have to make them a reality going contrary.
Things like that can demoralize people, and it will be worse when you don't have someone around to always cheer you up and give you hope. A lot of us trivialize the place of motivation, people now use it to even crack jokes and to mock others.
Motivation is powerful, it's one of the weapons that can do what sciences can not. There were times in my life when I felt like that was the end for me, everything was going the opposite of what I know it should be and I was just there, all by myself with no one to give me hope.
Each day that passed by was like a journey into the deepest part of hell, I gave up on myself, gave up on my dreams, and I was just there moving like an empty carton until I stumbled upon a man who encouraged me and taught me how to read inspirational and motivational books and in no time my life got transformed.
In life, we need people around us, and not just any kind of people but people who would always give us hope instead of discouragement. People are going through so much in life, you don't know how much your kind words of hope will do for them.
When my heart was healed of all the negativities I had been nurturing, I promised myself that anyone who encountered me would always love to be around me because of the hope I would be giving them. Enough of this habit of making people feel like that is all for them. Even if all the odds seem to be against them, try to make them know that all hope is not yet lost.
I have been around people that everything they say is negative, you can't be around them and not go home sad, they will always try to pull you down. I know sometimes it may be what they are seeing literally but then, all hope is not lost as long as someone is still alive. We ought to ignite people's spirit and not quench their zeal.
So, I will take the role of motivation, I will be there telling them they can do it even when they fail 1000 times heheh sounds funny right? But there is power in it. I don't know if you have ever been in a situation where you are failing and then suddenly, you remembered one motivational quote someone once told you and suddenly, you feel energized and start putting in more effort. Yeah! That is it, that is what I am about hehe. Where there is no motivation, there won't be progress.
I want to conclude by challenging all of us to take it upon ourselves to give hope to anyone we come across daily. In a difficult time like this, people need motivation more than ever. There are different ways to motivate people, it could be financially, it could be giving them a listening ear, and it can be giving them hopeful words, whichever you are good at, don't let it waste. Let people trace the reason why they never gave up in life to you.
