It’s been quite sometime since I wrote my last blog. Four years ago!! Yikes!! Can you believe we are four years since the 2020 lockdown? Naah it kinda feel surreal.
Millions of people all over the world, went through so much pain, grief, anxiety, trauma, and were then expected to miraculously bounce back into life like nothing really happened. Well I dont want to remind you of the bad things as we hear bad news on a daily. I am going to talk about finding the motivation and courage to get going in your life. I want you to read this like a diary entry or like a personal me time. So put on some relaxing music and let’s get started.
Imagine this, you are young and full of dreams, hopes, enthusiasm to do big things in life, all the things you wanted to achieve in your life, but then you got out into the real world. You saw the dark side of being an adult. Life is not always sunshine and rainbows,but it is also alot of cloudy days and ONLY YOU can change that to sunshine and rainbows. Wow!! So my life is in my hands, I can do anything I want to do and my parents wont be there to tell me anything. Doesn’t it sound fun? We all have always thought as a kid to be an adult and do all the things adults do with no restrictions. But its not so much fun is it? Let me tell you something, it is ABSOLUTELY OK! 🙂 No one figure things out all in one go. Falling down again and again is a part of our life learning. Even if you fall down for the 10th time, GET UP and reach the finish line of your dreams and goals. NEVER GIVE UP on your dreams. It may take you some time to reach, but you will reach. Make sure to learn from your mistakes, to change yourself for the better.
How can I stay motivated or even have the strength to do anything after facing defeat after defeat?
Faith! Belief! Determination! Very simple to say but the hardest to follow. Let me break it down for you simply.
When you believe in yourself, your dreams, your are determined to make it happen. When your determination is so strong that no matter what the circumstances, “I will do it” mindset , you will always be successful. Have faith in yourself, in God, Universe or whichever higher power you believe in. There is a saying, ” God helps those who help themselves”. If you don’t work hard for your dreams and expect miracles to happen, IT WON’T! Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, you all know this, its physics. So in order to make things happen you need to take action.
I am in the deepest darkest corner of my life. Things are going wrong for me always. Why me? How can I take action?
Well let me tell you, nobody’s life is perfect. In today’s social media world, we think some people have their lives sorted. But nobody shares 100% of their lives on the internet and shares only the good memories. This makes us COMPARE. Being rude and saying this, STOP COMPARING!
You are you, unique and one of a kind. If you start to compare yourself and your life to someone else’s, you will never be able to lead a satisfied life. Every person has their own struggle, their own internal battles they fight. When I say even your favorite role models and succesful people have faced their battles to reach where they are today, I mean it.
The key is to FOCUS ON YOU.
- Sit down with yourself.
- Figure out your areas of strength and weakness.
- Work on your weaknesses on how you can improve yourself.
- Work on your strengths to see if it is something which is going to help you to build yourself and also help you earn.
- Practice mindfulness ( Yoga, Meditation, Breath work, Journaling)
- Counseling/ Therapy – Taking care of your mental health is not a sign of weakness 🙂
- Listen to motivational podcasts or on youtube.
The most important thing is to have someone with whom you can share thoughts with. Remember that people will always be with you during your good times but very few ones truly stay during your dark times. Even if you have one friend who is your true friend, its a blessing.
Lastly, motivation won’t last long, it is what gets you encouraged and fired up to start your dreams. The key to being successful is consistency. When you show up every single day, without fail even when you dont feel like is when you start seeing the changes in your life. Have patience, be kind to yourself and remember good things take time.
