Willpower, awareness & motivation
Willpower, awareness and motivation. These are the three ingredients that will add some speed to your journey.
Once you find strong motivation you won’t need iron will. Trust me, willpower will take you long way but it won’t last until the end. You need more. Willpower requires effort, it’s like working in resistance. The motivation on the other hand, will keep you going for the long term. How do you find such strong motivation? You need awareness in the process. Being aware of your surrounding and your life will let you see things that you wouldn't pay attention to by living your life on autopilot. Imagine how many decisions we are making every day. How many of those are you really paying attention to? Break the patterns and take a moment to actually feel how it feels doing what you are doing. Expanding your world by changing patterns in your everyday life will inspire you. Your persistence of being aware will fuel your motivation.
I’ve enjoyed writing behind closed doors for years, since I was 6 years old actually to be precise. That joy that fuelled my motivation, kept me going back to my diary over and over again. I’ve never considered myself a writer or someone that could ever motivate others. I confess, I’ve had people in my life telling me my words give them motivation to make changes and gain mental capacity to move forward in their lives. But as a writer, I matured much later. When I finally believed in the value that I had to offer, my message matured and it gave me the fuel to finally own the stage, my stage. To believe that I earned the right to be creating my own stage. That’s the reason I took the courage to move forward with what I do in this exact moment, writing and having this blog published. My message became the motivation. The deeper your motivation, the more intrinsic it is to your actions, the easier it is to sustain the change that you are seeking to create in your life.
