These tips will be very useful during tough times. You can consult
them when you feel discouraged and unmotivated or you can read
through them during your free times to prepare you for the future.
Motivation is what drives you into achieving goals in life. Without it,
any task you will perform will feel dry and empty. It is one of the core
differences between a hard working person and a hard working
machine. Also, motivation acts like a sort of adrenaline rush in the
blood stream. It can make you achieve things which you normally
cannot. It is like the fuel that keeps a fire burning.
But like any fuel, motivation can also run out. Sometimes, it can just
get dry on its own. This is especially true if the goals being pursued
still appear so far away. That is why motivation is something that
needs to be renewed from time to time just as you would refuel a car
once its fuel tank is empty.
The problem is ‘how’. It is not as simple as wanting it back.
Motivation sometimes occurs in a spur of the moment and recreating
the events that produced it can be a truly difficult task. And when
gone for too long, motivation can get more difficult to revive.
Also, motivation can be easily destroyed by discouraging situations
and events. For example, a basketball player seeking to be the best in
his region can receive a slap in the face when faced with an opponent
with skills far greater than his own. Also, an environmentalist can get
demoralized after seeing events of mass pollution.
When motivation is crushed this way, it is even more difficult to gain
it back. Sadly, many people are facing the same situation every day.
Students are losing motivation to continue their studies, artists are
losing motivation to keep practicing their art, employees are losing
motivation to keep doing a good job at work, and so forth.
