I have been on the path of studying success and analyzing all the different ingredients that as proclaimed by the world famous self development gurus play an important role in the getting of the success.
Its usually believed that a motivated YOU will lead you to success. Its widely so often said and human mind obsessed with that if you are internally motivated, you shall have the success in life.
But is this the case in actual?
Is motivation alone enough for you to get to the success you are so badly craving for ……..
We see millions and millions of blog posts, video and audio content created online to promote the motivation into us, pushing us to take massive actions so as to become successful.
I do not say all this content is bad or the intentions behind creating these videos or blog posts are not noble, but most people usually misunderstand how the motivation does work in real life for us. It’s believed that motivation leads to success which is a colossal myth and not the truth. The actual truth is that what leads you to success is you by your self. Your habits and the way you rearrange your monkey mind for your self.
You could spend lots and lots of time reading motivational books, watching videos and investing money into buying of motivational courses, but this would not guarantee that you would be successful after doing all this.
Yes ,each time we see some body speaking there on the big stage ,pressing that button in his hand and sharing with us his rags to riches story, it does provoke in us that impulse of motivation and giving birth to hope to rise from the adverse situation we see ourselves in.
Only by writing the goals year after year,watching the newest of the motivational videos and visualizing success is not the way how the results will be created in life.
Am I saying you should stop reading motivational content or not cater to your cravings watching Tony Robbins or Eric Thomas or any of the finely crafted Goalcast videos?
Of course not!!!!
In no way, these videos and seminars keep you boosted and ignite in you the energy to take action. Its awesome!!!!!
There is definitely nothing wrong in setting aside some time every day for lightening up your spirits. It gets wrong when this is only what you do !!!!
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.” ―Aristotle
Most people are stuck in their daily lives at this point and nothing is changing for them even after the intake consumption of all the motivational feeds and channels available to them. Of course there are few changes you shall feel here and there after consuming the motivational content but no massive substantial change would be seen .
And here is why?
Most people miss the crucial ingredient that determine your success in life and that is –TRUE CONVICTION and HABITS.
In other words they lack the belief that form the habits that truly lead you to the success.
Your results are determined by your actions. Your actions are determined by the behavior you have which is directly controlled by the habits you have inbuilt within you. The habits as we all know cannot be formed or implemented through intellectual reasoning or by force.
This is something that cannot be achieved instantly and takes its own time. So if your subconscious creative mind does not get impressed by the idea of riches and success and starts believing in it, no real-time physical results would be seen.
Is Motivation Alone Enough?
This is something in my view most of the motivational gurus do not emphasize much upon ,otherwise we would have been seeing much more people attaining success in life. If they would have done so, more and more people would do the more of the Inner work within themselves rather than scrolling down Instagram quotes hungry for another new motivational quote.
“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
-Pele
The point taken home here is that it is always your inner convictions and habits that you form rule your mental state of mind .So once that motivational seminar or video is over ,you shall come back to your default state of mind.
Therefore if you really want to be successful and attain all the laurels of the life ,master the skill of habit formation.
Ask yourself Is Motivation Alone Enough?
Get really good in creating for yourselves habits that prompt you to take actions that lead to success, develop deep beliefs that serve you and constantly impress and convince your creative mind with the right feeling, and the end result will always be success and nothing less…..Everything you see and find externally is just a clue, the real answer lies by looking within..
So do start from today itself analyzing how much time you spend on feeding your motivational cravings and how much on the real inner work and the habit formation ?
So Is Motivation Alone Enough?
What is one goal you would want to get to by the end of the year, do share ….
