00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:13,930
In this video, we'll talk about the mind game of motivation, the concept of motivation isn't a physical

2
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:14,200
one.

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,340
You can't touch motivation as if it were an object to attain motivation resembles an emotion or a collection

4
00:00:21,340 --> 00:00:24,680
of them that stimulate you to perform an action.

5
00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:28,390
It's an aspect of your personality that only you can control.

6
00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:33,700
And that's why each person can have different motivators and perspectives on what encourages them to

7
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:34,420
do something.

8
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:39,880
Since emotions are the stimulators for your motivation, dealing with your motivators can be sensitive.

9
00:00:40,270 --> 00:00:47,320
When motivation comes because of an immediate sudden change or reaction in life, your emotional response

10
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:54,760
could be blurred to a wrong perspective if your motivator took time to develop due to reasoning and

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,020
thoughtful inquisition, you may have a stronger grip and understanding of your motivator.

12
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,200
As a result, this can yield a stronger and more sensible approach to your newly elected emotions.

13
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,110
Where does motivation come from?

14
00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:11,260
As mentioned above, motivation isn't a physical thing.

15
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:18,760
It's easiest to compare to your emotions since they are the main benefactors of your motivation, depending

16
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,820
on how you feel about a certain situation makes the motivation vary from occasion in person.

17
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:28,120
In other words, motivation comes from the mind.

18
00:01:28,570 --> 00:01:34,420
This is one of the main reasons you could find it really easy or really hard to motivate yourself.

19
00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:37,090
But for most, motivation doesn't come easy.

20
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:40,450
It's like a habit, and habits are hard to shake off.

21
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,870
When changing anything about yourself, you'll find that your mentality is the blocking factor turning

22
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:48,160
into a newer person.

23
00:01:48,340 --> 00:01:53,710
If you believe that you deserve the best of the best, then it'll be harder to convince or motivate

24
00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:57,400
you to do something lower than expectations below yours.

25
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:05,080
If you're more adaptable, then finding motivators may be slightly easier as an open mind finds opportunity

26
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:12,070
more often, habits like procrastination, keeping everything neat or self-consciousness are natural

27
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:12,460
habits.

28
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:18,430
People may have with or without realizing it's things like these that can affect what motivates you.

29
00:02:18,850 --> 00:02:24,310
If you procrastinate, then deadlines are probably the only things standing in your way to get something

30
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:30,370
done, and only at the last second, being neat and orderly could mean that your motivation remains

31
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:31,600
avoiding disaster.

32
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:37,450
Self-consciousness may motivate you to try and look your best on a daily basis, work out and appear

33
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,950
prestigious to everyone.

34
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,650
But nobody is born as a motivated person.

35
00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:48,760
As you develop and become your individual persona, you also develop your perseverance, initiative

36
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,230
and sense of responsibility.

37
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:57,010
Since all these qualities combine to make your motivation, you also have to have your own motivator

38
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:58,630
chanting in the back of your mind.

39
00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:06,010
It may be a strong, supportive voice booming in your thoughts with all the time that helps you aim

40
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:08,410
for the highest goals you wish to achieve.

41
00:03:08,770 --> 00:03:15,700
It could also be a quiet whistle that likes to ask you feebly What if or why not?

42
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:20,110
Once in a while, it may always be there or come along once in a while.

43
00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:21,460
It all depends.

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,450
Essentially, motivation is a mind game and the only way to control your motivation is to understand

45
00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:29,470
your personality.

46
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:36,490
What makes you you and answer a question like what's your view on your own life?

47
00:03:36,910 --> 00:03:38,620
Respective view on life?

48
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:41,230
Motivation depends on you.

49
00:03:41,530 --> 00:03:43,900
An idea now well established.

50
00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:47,350
So what is it about yourself that motivates you?

51
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:53,320
You may not know it, but your whole life up to this moment is built on your motivation.

52
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:58,330
Are you someone who does something because you find it personally rewarding, or is it because you wish

53
00:03:58,330 --> 00:03:59,920
to earn the praise of others?

54
00:04:00,310 --> 00:04:04,690
If you're the first type, then you're driven by intrinsic motivation.

55
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:10,390
When something from the inside drives you, you end up doing things that you enjoy.

56
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,670
That also means that you're less likely to be distracted, you'll feel greater satisfaction in your

57
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:19,450
achievements and be driven by a greater sense of purpose.

58
00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:26,170
Alternately, if you're pushed by the urge to succeed, to gain a specific award or steer clear of a

59
00:04:26,170 --> 00:04:30,190
punishment, then your motivation is coming from an external source.

60
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:36,310
This is called extrinsic motivation and can be a highly effective motivator on its own.

61
00:04:36,580 --> 00:04:38,620
What do you desire in life?

62
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,250
Is it self recognition or a grand income?

63
00:04:42,610 --> 00:04:48,580
This will determine whether you're the kind of person who'd be motivated by passion and self discovery

64
00:04:48,610 --> 00:04:51,430
or business dealings aimed on profiting.

65
00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:58,090
For instance, a pet shop owner could be someone passionate about animals or has an experience with

66
00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:00,190
them and helps them find families.

67
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,500
A manager, on the other hand, is someone who finds authority a motivator to keep them.

68
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:12,170
In charge and in order, they like the higher position in an organization and are capable of taking

69
00:05:12,170 --> 00:05:14,570
the heat of sitting on the hot seat.

70
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:17,180
Others may scare from handling.

71
00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:21,320
Animals are buckle under the pressure of authority, afraid they won't be able to handle it.

72
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:27,680
So while one person lives to be a leader, someone might enjoy sitting at a safer distance from the

73
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,370
chaos.

74
00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:33,590
Where you see yourself is also vital to your motivational strength.

75
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:38,390
Do you feel confident in your own skills, or you think they aren't up to par with the others?

76
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:43,220
Do the opinions of others really matter or are you fine turning some heads?

77
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:51,140
Are you fine with what the world has to offer or are you ready to hunt down what you feel you deserve?

78
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:57,320
All these factor into what truly motivates you, your greatest enemy.

79
00:05:57,620 --> 00:06:04,160
If you answer these questions, you'll come to realize the only thing standing in your way is yourself.

80
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Nobody can stop you entirely from being where you need to be or even want to be.

81
00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:15,700
The only person you have to conquer is yourself.

82
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,910
It's hard to change yourself from the material habits to your personality.

83
00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:24,440
While others may say you can do something and invoke you to try new things.

84
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,260
Perhaps it's your own thoughts holding you back.

85
00:06:27,710 --> 00:06:33,110
Feeling insecure about yourself is a main reason why most people don't listen to motivation when doing

86
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:33,830
something new.

87
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:39,650
Self-doubt keeps you from committing yourself to brighter and unfamiliar endeavors.

88
00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:45,320
If you don't feel good about yourself, how are you going to feel good about anything else?

89
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:50,990
Another issue that can often quarrel with motivating yourself to do new things would be ignorance and

90
00:06:50,990 --> 00:06:51,650
pride.

91
00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:59,810
Some people refuse to mentally open up to new experiences or ideas, which means that motivation doesn't

92
00:06:59,810 --> 00:07:05,270
encourage them to discover new opportunities, but rather stick to their own game.

93
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:12,350
Once again, motivation is something each individual has, and the idea is that motivation differs from

94
00:07:12,350 --> 00:07:15,120
each person based on personal wants and needs.

95
00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:21,380
So while a person believes that going to the beach is a fun idea and would try to go to the beach in

96
00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:27,140
their free time, another might see it as a nuisance to go out and rather motivate themselves to stay

97
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:29,840
at home and enjoy a quiet day indoors.

98
00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:35,660
What can make you change yourself is entirely up to you.

99
00:07:36,410 --> 00:07:41,960
Whenever you feel as though you can't pull yourself to do something, no one else is stopping you,

100
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,920
only yourself.

101
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:50,510
Trying new ideas and experiencing unusual things is all progress and self development and can only reap

102
00:07:50,510 --> 00:07:51,590
fruitful benefits.

103
00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:57,350
That's why when considering something new, it's always good to look at the positive side with an open

104
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:57,830
mind.

105
00:07:58,010 --> 00:08:03,770
If you can conquer your own emotions, then there's nothing standing in your way.
