I think that motivation is basically the reason why you do anything. Without the tiniest bit of it, you’d probably not do anything until eventually, you die. I think that everything you do has a motivation behind it. I’m just typing my thoughts about it, feel free to go read it and stuff.
I like to draw, yes? But there are times when I don’t feel like drawing. There was a time when I drew things for somebody; they were the motivation behind my works. It feels great when they like what I drew but there came a time when we weren’t in close terms. I felt like I didn’t want to draw anymore. It was weird. It’s a good thing that I have this friend who excels at drawing far more than I do and bam, they became my motivation. I can see from this stuff that happened that you can excel at one thing when you do it for someone special to you; when you want your work to ‘reach’ them (Shigatsu wa kimi no uso reference heh heh).
I’m not saying that your motivation has to be somebody; it can even be a whole community. I’m a part of this art group and looking at their works motivates me to draw. It’s awesome you know, to share your talents to another.
I like to play basketball. Now the stuff there, I don’t really play for someone. I play to get better; to reach a certain goal. The same can go for anything. But as for basketball, I play because I enjoy it and I want to be like the guy I idolize, Kyrie Irving. The same goes with playing the piano. I think that setting a goal is a good way to motivate yourself; especially at the times when you have no one but yourself, you know.
Speaking of enjoyment, just the idea that you would enjoy what you’re going to do motivates you, I think. So if you are going to do something, think that you’d enjoy it. People like to have fun, yes? I think that thinking you’d enjoy would be a pretty good push to do something. I know a handful of people who don’t enjoy school and are therefore doing terrible. I’m not really close with them and being an introvert, I don’t think I’d enjoy talking to a handful of people; you see? Just the idea that I wouldn’t enjoy it pushes me back already. But for an introvert, I think that it’s just a thing that happens. (yes I believe in the theory of personality).
There will come times that you’ll lack motivation to do something, you know? Without motivation, you’ll find reasons to make yourself believe that you shouldn’t act. There might be people who’d be there to help you but sometimes, you gotta rely on yourself. That time I lacked the motivation to draw, I wanted to give it up but I didn’t. I put a lot of thought into it, I thought that there are million other reasons to continue this path I’m taking, you know. If what you’re looking for isn’t where you expected it to be, go look somewhere else, you know; if you’ve lost the motivation to do something good, then go look for another way to get yourself motivated; I mean it’s just a matter of self-convincing, what kind of losers can’t convince themselves (just kidding man no offence).
I’m actually a man of motivation; I do things out of it. If I’m not motivated to do something, even if it is school work, I don’t do it. Time management is good stuff but it doesn’t really work for me. I really am fond of the teachers who don’t fail to motivate me. You see, motivation is something important so if you want to do great things, keep finding ways to get yourself motivated and if you can, go and motivate the others too. Angel, out.
Bro this is so lame but that’s okay
