Imagine sitting on a cozy swaying hammock on one of the most exquisite islands of the Caribbean. Listening to the rippling waves thrusting against the rocks, you inhale the majestic aroma of the ocean. The sunlight beams into your eyes, and you feel the incredible urge to smile. You spot a jet passing when you look into the bright blue skies. This intrigues you, motivating you to fly high to pursue your goals.
What makes this jet so high, so fast, and so efficient?
This jet (along with similar aircraft) uses 80% of its fuel just for takeoff. The other 20% suffice for the rest of the journey. The fun fact, right? You might ask, “ButI’mm’ but not a jet, Shay. What does this have to do with m”?”
I think aircraft are super cool, exciting, and valuable… exactly how I view you. Even if I don’tn’t’ think so, I still believe You’ll catch up with reality someday. For now, think of your makeup as somewhat similar to a jet.
Check out these points that you tend to forget when it comes to motivation.
1. Motivation is needed most at takeoff.
People tend to forget that the beginning is always the hardest. Why? The foundation of anything must be the strongest point so the process will be much smoother. Before you can cruise or have a flow, a robust momentum must be created. Would you use the weakest blocks to begin a 3 story house? Absolutely not! So why do you think a little motivation can suffice for a whole projThat’shat’s’ absurd.
You should bear in mind that the best foundation has a solid and firm belief system. You will probably find the most pain, barriers, and hardships here. Be open to changes but with a balance of believing firmly that you can accomplish what you set out to do. It would help if you did not only think but also KNOW that it is possible.
2. Discipline is motivation on autopilot.
Before the jet can condoesn’tpath’tpatdoesn’toesn’t nemucDon’tlDon’tl and don’t get me wrong, it still needs the energy to gojuIt’sotIt’sot as It’s. It’s the same with us humans. After trying over and over and then failing, we tend to think we need the same amount of motivation that we began with. This is another common mistake.
It will take a mighty long time to gain the same motivation you started off with; however, you only2I’mto2I’mto continue. I’m very proud of you if you can maintain more than that without beating yourself up.
3. MotiviI’vekeI’veke an I’ve
I’ve been working at the JFK Airport in NewfI’ve I’ve while I’ve. I’ve got to climb ramps to get on the aircraft. Did you see that? UP and DOWN. Motivation, along with anything in this life, has similar principles. Therlevdon’tandn’tand doesn’t go up your motivation ramp enough; you will be out of breath wheWhat’sWhat’s theWhat’sWhat’s so wrongbeinyou’vethlessthleyou’veyou’ve reached the goal by calling to the top? Whytowardwon’tethingethinwon’t beLet’seLet’s to eLet’s Let’s not be backwards now. Life has much more to offer than strforyou’rehingrehingyou’reyou will not reap the total rewards.
How do you exercise on these ramps in real life? Attack your problems like a beast! Whenever issues arise, go heyou’reWINGreWINGyou’reyou’re in control. You can conquer anything!
4. Motivation requires a captain aboard.
For the jet to have a successful flight, it requires a captain or two. Who will drive you if you depend on yourself for everything? It is possible but much more complicated when you do it alone. “member”r that sa”ing, “NO MAN IS AN ISLAN.” NO “AND STANDS”ALONE”? Accountability is needed, along with guidance from mentors, books, or elsewhere. Just make sure you have that special someone who has the knowledge, stature, and wisdom to help you move from point A to point B. They can be vital in your success.
How long wilstudywon’tbjecttbjectwon’t won’t always see eye to eye, but remember to be humble. Gather the information and steps, act on them, and create your own legacy. Always be grateful to the things and people who aid in getting the results you once prayed for.
5. Map the motivation route.
Alas, we have arrived. How cacomdon’tewhereewherdon’t don’t have a route for? How can you have a course without mapping ityou’renow’renow you? You’re headed. If you have no idea where that is, no captain can help you and your fuel will be wasted. Set out with one specific goal, then work towards that. People make this mistake then give up afterwards.
If you even want to wander around, you must hspecyou’reeasoneeasoyou’reyou’re doing it. Please give a specific time frame for how long you wish to walk and alternate for results. I map my goals by using an app called Lift. I create my plans, and then it reminds me throughout the day to get the goal done. I got it fdon’trdon’tr. No, you don’t have a reason not to act on your map.
You can also listen to audiobooks on YouTube and find that specific thing that excites you. Keep doing itisn’tvern’tver. Isn’t maintained, your jet loses power and then eventually loses value.
Conclusion
Now you can avoid all of these mistakes we often make. Invest in you and the power waiting to burst out. The world needs you and what you have to offer. The grind is never over, so keep on with it.
