How do you motivate yourself to want things?
Answers like "you can't" only show lack of imagination and knowledge. The problem: I don't want much in life. I figured I can really do wonders when I want something and go for it. Like, I'm an A+ student in a college, got a black belt in taekwondo in under 3 years just because was really interested in it. Yet these are rare cases, and since I don't want much, I don't do much. I seem to have what I need, I rarely go outside my comfort zone, since I feel there's no need to do that, and I don't want to create stress in my life. I seem to make it written all over my mind that challenge=fight against something, so I don't like it. I actually think that this could be a part of the problem but I also know that there's more to it. From analyzing myself, I've come to a conclusion that I don't really care for things if they're outside of my interest zone. But I go through like a bulldozer if it's something I like.
What is the difference between motivating and inspiring?
Starting with the dictionary meaning of both, Motivation means 'a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way' whereas Inspiration means 'the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative'Motivation is something which builds your mindset, it gathers your senses and pulls you up from laziness and inactivity to do something, to achieve something, to build something. It is a force which wakes up your sleeping mind to get going. It doesn't let you sleep until you have achieved your dream. It is a first step which helps you in achieving great success. When you are motivated you are restless, energized. You work harder than usual, and it feels like you have done nothing much but it is just you have discovered what you are capable of doing. It shows you what's your worth.A motivated mind is a highly energized mind which can be taken into any direction. Inspiration gives that direction.Inspiration is like an idea. An idea which tells your mind to be creative. It is a like a path which you want to follow but in your own way. You dream about that idea. Here it is all going inside your mind. An inspired mind doesn't do anything but is still. But that mind is creative. And when that mind has created something based on that very idea, it becomes motivated. You want to show the world what you have created which motivates you. Now, this initially inspired and now inspired plus motivated mind is ready to roll.In short, inspiration is a seed and motivation is water. You can sow many seeds but you need water to let them grow. PS : it is just what i think about these two terms.
How can I motivate myself to go to school?
A lot of the times I'm not motivated to get up for school in the morning, but I'm not depressed. I'm happy enough at my home, and it's not like I'm unhappy at school. I just can't push myself to go. When I'm at school for a while and take 1 day off, I just realise how it's nice to have a day off, so I decide to have another, and then another and another to the point I end up panicking. Even though I'm panicking I'm still taking days off, and it's been 4 weeks and 3 days now. How can I motivate myself to get back into it? I'm starting to worry that people will hate me for being off for so long now.
Who motivates the motivator, and how do they motivate them?
Thanks for A2A.Motivators or the Self Help Gurus(another popular name for these people) like Brian Tracy,Tony Robbins,Shiv Khera etc..are no different than you and me.So why do we read their books to motivate ourselves,how do they write all of those things in their books i.e where do they get their inspiration from.I will define some of the characteristics of these people,which distinguishes them from us and what really are the tools that they use for motivation.1.) WAY OF THINKING:- Every motivator has a very positive mindset. It is crucial because the job of a motivator is to encourage people by helping them develop thoughts of positivity.They would never say no to a thing but instead urge people to interrogate any obstacle and find to a way to surmount it.For this they themselves for a strict routine in order to have a healthy mind.People like Oprah Winfrey who meditates every morning before coming for a show while Brian Tracy exercises his brain by reading inspirational articles.2.) STRUCTURED LIFE:- They ask to restructure our own lives in order to improve your efficiency in doing work and to create balance. They themselves are really very organized in order to keep things at the right and avoid chaos. In general we tend to do things randomly ,which causes a kind of disorderliness .Brian Tracy once said ,how planned his everyday schedule is,from morning to evening as a result of which he says I have never been troubled during my shows..3.)ENVIRONMENT:- If the surroundings around you are filled with things that are de energizing i.e which upset your mind and drain your enthusiasm,then you won’tbthrive to do anything.This may include negative people,news,pollution from outside etc.Our motivators as far as I know maintain a very hygenic so that they could work properly.Once a oublic speaker said “The reason I am so effective is because of the fact that I live in a healthy environment ,free of every sort of outside disturbances and therefore ,I never get discouraging thoughts in my mind.I hope that this will be helpful as an answer.Thank you
What was oedipus primary motivation through out the actions of the play?
Actually, it shifts during the play, although what it shifts to has been a driving force in him for several years. At the beginning of the play, his object is to find a way to end the plague that's afflicting his kingdom. He has sent Creon to Delphi to find an answer, and when Creon reports back that the city must find and punish the murderer of Laius, Oedipus proceeds to send for Teiresias, who he hopes will be able to identify the murderer. But when Teiresias, stalking off in a huff, tells him, "Your parents thought I was wise enough," Oedipus shows that there's another question on his mind and calls Teiresias back to ask (in vain), "Who were my parents?" Still, the question of who killed Laius remains foremost in Oedipus' mind for a little longer. When Jocasta, misunderstanding the reason for his indignation at Teiresias and seeking to reassure him, introduces into his mind the first possiblity that he MAY have killed Laius, he presses on with his investigation in the evident hope that the one surviving witness to Laius's death will say, "No, it was a band of robbers. The man you killed there about the same time must have been someone else." However, when the messenger from Corinth arrives first, with the news that Oedipus' "father" is dead and then matter-of-factly reveals that he knows for certain that Oedipus was adopted, that underlying question moves ahead of ending the plague as Oedipus' primary motive in his investigation. If the messenger received Oedipus as a newborn baby from the very man whom Oedipus has sent for as a witness to the murder of Laius, then that man can probably tell him the answer to the question that has been on his mind for most of his adult life. In short, by the last episode (act) of the play, Oedipus' primary motive has become his desire to know who he really is. And we know what he finds out.
In need of advice/motivation for foreskin restoration.. if u r not interested pls dont hurt my feelings..?
The first thing you need is restoring friends. Restoring friends are as important as the device you choose. Restoring friends can be there to help motivate you, bounce your ideas off, discuss problems, help to normalize what you are doing, and to celebrate your victories,....the first week, the first month, the first wrinkle. There are foreskin restoration chat sites where you can go to meet people who are of like mind,....and that was my motivation when I first stated. As it is,....I have been restoring my foreskin for over four years, and it is the best thing I have done for myself. I have also been helping other guys get started restoring for almost that long. I have information, link, experience, and e-mail files on how to make a simple foreskin restoration device from common household products. The cost is less than five dollars and this device will last you the whole restoration. I make these files freely available to anyone who asks for them. At present, I have over 120 people using this device, and I usually start a few new guys a week from this site. I suggest to all my new restorers to get an e-mail address that does not show their real name and use that just for restoring information and contacts. That way, you keep the restoring business separate from the daily business. I won't post my e-mail address on the open response page but if you write to me through my profile page, I will pass it on so we can work through this start up time, and device making process. Foreskin restoration is becoming more widely known and do-able. You do not need a lot of money. I have also been restoring in my family home for the whole time. Of course my wife knows, but none of my fours sons know about it. That shows it is possible to do it in a family home with no one knowing. The manual tugging method was once thought of as the Slow Boat to China. Now, it is getting much better reviews, and gaining in popularity. Many guys use manual stretching as a supplement to device use. There are quite a few active and finished restorers on this site, and they will also respond to this question. Knowledge comes from many sources. Please feel free to contact me through my profile page and I will be glad to answer your questions, provide the motivation, and introduce you to other restorers in your age group. Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck and I hope this helped. Mithras
