When Motivation is NOT Enough

When Motivation is NOT Enough

Life is tough.  To live life is expensive BUT there is a big BUT here.  There are things in life which are neither cheap nor expensive BUT FREE.  Yes it's FREE.  And it's spelled M-O-T-I-V-A-T-I-O-N.  MOTIVATION is not even inside the cupboard.  It's not in the closet.  It's right deep within our recesses.  But the puzzling question is that why is humanity not on the same page.  The names of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Bill Gates are all over our digitized world.  But how about the depressed areas of Bangladesh, the huge slums in Mumbai ?

Indeed, those areas in Bangladesh and Mumbai, just to name a few of the depressed areas, shouldn't be given up.  Let's NOT give up on the Mumbaikars, the Bangladeshis.  They have proven to be resilient through the years yet it's equally depressing because till now, we can't avoid ignoring the huge divide between the top tier and the lowest tiers of our communities.  What's fallen on our laps ?  It's to figure out what's driving the wedge between these tiers.

Thing is, for the same task we perform, there will always be another way to do things different from the way you're doing things now.  Simply put, it's admitting that there is an OLD WAY of doing things and there will be a NEW WAY.  By tweaking things, sometimes with minimal effort, minimum sacrifice.  All it takes is the gumption to shift things from the OLD WAY to the NEW WAY.  Let's just overcome that human resistance along the way.

How do we overcome that hurdle ?  Let's go back to our MOTIVATION.  This is no rocket science.  And what comprises MOTIVATION ?  First off, you got to trigger, ACTIVATE it.  Once you're off, sustain that momentum with PERSISTENCE.  And as you go through the motions of your PERSISTENCE, step on the gas to further up the ante of your INTENSITY.

Good enough we're not lacking in ambitions.  In fact, to our credit, we are often times overly ambitious and that augurs well for us because that is the catalyst we need to fire up all the cylinders.  What's often lacking is that level of motivation.  Everyone may do have that motivation but often, our shortfall is that we have various levels of motivations.  Some are motivated just to barely survive.  Others are motivated to be in the middle of the pack.  Whereas the cream of the crop, they wanna lord things over the very cream of crop.  They won't settle for anything less than being on top of the totem pole and while sometimes ambitions may seem too lofty to achieve, we need ambitions as high as the heavens to motivate us TO SOAR HIGH, TO FLY HIGH.  YES WE CAN, folks.✅✅✅
