Things that Drive You...it's a motivational paper


What can make you jump right now? or to get up and run a mile?  or make you get serious in studies? or can make you win a losing game?
What is the force which can make you cross the toughest of obstacles?

Its motivation, motivation gives you determination, dedication, right set of mind and the power to take your actions. My observation has been that motivation comes from four emotions. The emotions of love, anger, peace and fear. Let me explain them one by one.

Love

 The numerous examples of romantic stories in which the lovers goes beyond limits to find their love, the love for science & curiosity which made so many discoveries & innovations possible.

Love is towards thing which you love doing & can do it continuously without getting tired. It’s your passion and your need, love is the force which makes you move towards your goals with full excitement and enthusiasm. 

The simplest way that I can put it is “you do a thing because you love it”. It can be playing sports, reading, dancing, singing and what not. Love towards a thing gives you purpose in life. So, love is a very strong and effective form of motivation.

Anger

Anger and envy makes you do things that you didn’t knew you could do. Its quite normal that when someone is preparing hard for a test, which you too are going to give, seeing him you too are ready to go an extra mile.

The competitiveness in you makes you perform better then others. Anger towards an unfair deal, the corrupt politicians makes you take steps against them.
Anger being very explosive in nature, can be disasters if not controlled properly, anger is good till it make you drive in the right sense & doesn’t get unpleasant.

Anger is a great motivation, but it should be controlled properly.          

Peace

Have you ever wondered, why do people go through the most difficult of terrains, climbing mountains in order to reach the temples at the top?

The answer could be faith, the belief that everything will be better and this belive gives them peace…
The peace of mind.

Why do some people leave, every belongings of their and take a life of saintly hood? They are ready to for go every thing they own or achieved.
Sometimes sports can be a form of peace, even watching sports make you forget your current problems and enjoy the moment. Studies, reading, meditating can be some forms of achieving peace too.

Fear
  
Fear of parents, teachers, society or any person you consider superior to yourself. Fear of remarks, fear of acceptance, fear of loss, fear of failure…

These are some common fears which makes you do things in the opposite direction, you would do anything and everything in order to avoid these fearful situations.
For example
The fear of failure will make study for exams. The fear of acceptance in group will make you go along with people.

Fears of various types and there is a fear of almost everything in this world, so is the motivation gained from it.

A fun note- the fear of a cockroach (i.e if you fear cockroach) will surely make you jump from your seat…this is the answer to the first question.

The Good Boy Image.

Sure you can get a ‘A’ with this, Sure you can have good rapport with old folks with this and sure you would be an example for small children with this. But you know what you can’t get...Answer- A hot chick. I am going to tell you a story. Once upon a time there lived a boy, let’s call him…I don’t know…‘boy’…he was a good boy and always have been. Simple, no show off, caring, sensitive, loving, kind, respected girls…you got the idea naa… Now the story goes like this , there were girls around him who use to play with him, tease him, make fun of him, flirt with him(ya this happens with good boys only)…he use to reciprocate but in a very calm , good and noble manner, but he had a curse due to this ‘good boy image’ he can’t get all feely- feely with girls, can’t have a girlfriend as he was worried what his parents/teachers think if they got to know about it(stupid right?), and he has seen all the ‘stud’ types in the class were the one who really gets the girl . But this ...

Generalize

If you're reading this (and understand the content of my blogs), I assume you're at least in your twenties. That means you've already spent a significant amount on this planet. Your consciousness has taken a physical form in this universe and you have by your own experience or most common in today's time, vicariously (Through social media, TV, internet), have learned some rules of this universe. You have either willingly or unwillingly, consciously or unconsciously, learned many rules of nature, or rules of social conduct, customs and traditions of your family, society or even country. These rules, didn't became rules just like that, many people took actions and learned the effects of their actions, decided that those actions were either good or bad for them or for the society at large. Through rigorous empirical testing and experimenting with various ideas, philosophy and examples. Humans learned to some extent, what's right and wrong. This learning of the d...

Estranged

This is a story of a girl. like many others on this blog. and I promise this is as interesting as the others. This incident changed me a little, my inclination and desire towards love and lust have changed. I'm a better person now, hopefully. I think I have learned something about myself from this experience. "Salle Shahrukh Nahi Emran Hashmi ban" It's strange how strangers become friends, friends become long-term friends, long-term friends become best friends, best friends become the best confidant, sometimes confidants become lovers, but many times lovers become strangers. Well, to tell you the story from the beginning, I would have to take you back to summer of 2008, 10 years back from the day I am writing this blog. I had just completed my 9th class and was going to 10th, I had a best friend, I had my crushes, I had my video games, life was perfect, well almost, in retrospect. So like every school child new years brought new opportunities. There w...
