Fake Till you make it – The Quest for Motivated Soul

Fake Till you make it – The Quest for Motivated Soul

I started my journey for getting out of desperation, looking for motivation and trying to achieve success in my life by reading about success stories and motivation.

It really helped me change my mind at the beginning. My mind and soul started to shift to a whole new direction into happiness and success. But after a while, it seemed to be an old story. Just a soup opera that you keep watching over and over without any addition to your knowledge.

Those words seemed like an old Soup opera series
It was like reading something that you already know. Hearing all those ideas and stories didn’t seem to add any value for me after a while. I even got bored from hearing all that material.

Once I heard a motivational speaker says about this phenomena just exactly what I thought of. I heard him saying that some people think that all those motivation stuff is so boring and has no effect on them. 

Their reasons may seem rational at first. They say that motivation comes from the inside and not from the outside.

Keep your words for yourself
You can see the guy who speaks about motivation just as a guy who blows into a balloon with a big hole in it. He is just wasting his time and effort trying to fill this balloon with air.

So their advice for motivational speakers is that they should stop their effort or at least save them for people who already accept that motivation and gain some knowledge from them.

They might say: “keep your words for yourself and don’t bother trying to change a person who is not already motivated.

Motivation is like a shower, you need one each day
That might be true for a degree. But that motivational speaker I heard has said something new. He said that motivation is like a shower. You need one each day. 

So instead of trying to fix that balloon with holes in it, you just need to try to fill it with good stuff continuously until this process can fix that balloon. You just don’t want to leave that motivation completely.

I found his words convincing and promising. Motivational speaking seemed to have a new effect on me again.

Intrinsic motivation instead of extrinsic
I thought that that the best way to get motivated is by finding happiness and motivation from myself not from the outside.

Believe achieve it approach
I’ve seen many people who didn’t like motivation for that reason. They said that all you have to be to get motivated or successful is to motivated or successful form the first place.

Those guys don’t seem to believe that anything can be changed.

Anyway I kept trying to have my inner voice of motivation supported by outer voice from others (books, seminars, networking, and videos) and by working hard to keep it alive.

I then turned to the fake till you make it approach. I don’t mean that you must lie to yourself and say that you don’t have any problem at all. But what I mean is that you must see things as they are but not worse. 

See it as it is not worse than it is
Positive thinking can make huge difference into your cognition to the world and hence to the way you think and then will affect your final response to your outer environment.

Strong Believes are supported by real work to prove them
Instead of staying there and hoping that there is nothing will go wrong and that all things are perfect, you must keep doing something that adds value to your life. You must do whatever you need to support your happiness and keep you motivated.

Don’t rely on your talent and positive thinking only
People have always thought that talent is the most important factor in human excellence. Only those who have been born with innate talent are the ones who have made extraordinary achievements.

That believe is now proved to be wrong. In fact, people who were born gifted may seem to lack the true secret code of success. They only rely on them innate talents and leave the practice and work behind. They then end up being average or lower than average in fields they thought they were talented in.

People are born with IQ of higher than the average were expected to make tremendous achievements in their lives but studies conducted on hundreds of those people proved that many of them failed even to lead a normal average life.
Have a clear goal. 

Work hard enough to get to your goal. Always be optimistic and happy while perusing your dream.
