There are some mind-blowing facts that sounds unreal but are actually true.
It has come to the knowledge of researchers that children who are praised for their effort ( working very hard to complete that assignment that looks difficult ) rather than their abilities (You are so Intelligent) tend to believe that their success depends on their effort, not innate talent. Children who develop this type of mindset are more likely to persist in the face of challenges & diversity[1].

The Research published in the National Academy of Sciences observed that having twenty-minute meditation training for five days can help you improve your attention, as well as lower anxiety, fatigue, anger, and depression[2].
Also, the threat of punishment can force you to action, but just for a short period of time. Research has found that reward is a more effective strategy than punishments when it comes to boosting motivation [3].
Furthermore, research has brought to awareness that people who are primarily motivated by financial concerns tend to suffer from worse mental health [4].

People often believe that being intelligent is a way to guarantee success, but researchers have found that Intelligence is not certainly always a predictor of success. In the famous longitudinal study of gifted kids by Lewis Terman, some of the most intelligent individuals lead very average lives [5].
Researchers have found that your willpower can quickly be depleted while doing difficult tasks. So, relying on willpower alone is a mistake because it can only get you so far but by finding an intrinsic source of motivation, you can recharge your motivational energy and boost your zeal.[6].
