Struggle For Success or What No One Tells Us about Self Motivation
Recently, everyone is talking about being successful. What it means to be successful, how to become a success in work and personal life, what to do and how to find shortcuts. The main cool thing is that there are no shortcuts. Its either you do it or not. That’s it.
All my life I loved working hard. I am known for working hard. All of my day was always busy, university in during the day, meetings in the evening, homewrok and projects in the night. My dad always told me that it will be easier afterwards, I just had to keep going. In fact, those time were the easiest ones. I just had to do what I was told, and input a little bit of my creativity and thought in what I was doiung. The most difficult times are when there is no one telling you what to do, and you’re the one who has to decide the next step. That’s when you are testing yourself out truly.
The hardest thing about self motivation is being self motivated. You can have as many clear and starightforward goals as you want, you can have dreams, strong work ethics and all of the opportunities in the world. What you have to train is the actual desire to take action. To make the things in your head become reality. There are no tips, shortcuts or quick ways of doing it. It is just impossible. But what you are now, was imposible yesterday. You just had to do one step, in hte right direction that you set yourself.
They will not tell you, but waking up at 6 am in the morning is hard. Super mega hard. You will get frustrated, you will hate yourself for not managing to achieve even that little thing. You will go to Medium, look for more articles about “How to wake up early everyday”, and they will tell you everthing you need to know except for truth. The truth is that you won’t wake up at 6 am until you train yourself to do so. Train yourself to think and undertsand why you need it so badly, that every moment that you are asleep you will be thinking about your goal. Every 15 minute that you will set your clock earlier, you will have to understand why you need it. What will you do with that extra time? Are you ready to sacrifcie your extra three hours in the evening to go to sleep at 9pm? Are you ready to not be like the other people who are outgoing, social and have loads of friends? Becayse you wont have it. Because you wont be like them. They will stop inviting you, you will feel lonly, but you need to remmebr baout your goal. Why you want to succeed. And achieve what you want to achieve.
The same applies to anything you may see difficult right now. You have to be ready to give up things. To be different, to make sure youre different. Chnaging yourself is a struggle. Your envirnment, firends and family have to willing to accept your chnage. They dont have to support it, but do not let them object. Just do your thing and be ready to sacrifcie. Sacrifice your old life as a looser. Sacrifice being the person you no longer want to be. Sacrifcie that thing in order to become rich, hardworking, successful, great, the person you really, truly want to become. I know it is possible. Every success is action and a challenge. Challenges make us better. They keep us going, all of us who do not want to confirm. Those who want to change.
It is good if you get angry with yourself. That you hate yourself. Because you are doing things, good or bad. You are trying, you are going one step further. This is why it might seem like you are not doing anything. Just keep trying. Keep doing. To those of you who lived in a culture were everything is imposible. To those of you who are in an environment that is holding you back. To those of you who have no boss and have to motivate and inspire others:
It is all temporary/possible/worth it. You can fill in the gap youreself. This is what makes you different. Your challenge, the personal challenge that you are facing is incredibly admirable and inspirational. You will get there, when you really need to. Obbsession, hardwork and action will do the magic of overnight success.
Keep going. It’s worth every bit of your struggle. You will learn whatever it is to learn. I am writing this more to myself than to anone else. Because I am struggling. Because I am challanged. Becayse I havent achieved any success yet. I am working, aiming and trying again and again with passion, obsession and persevirance, and nothing will stop me. Not even myself.
