Motivation

April 20, 2016

“It’s always good to set a motivation as a driving force towards your goal as it helps you focus and keeps you from straying from your path.”

Motivations are powerful driving tools that keeps on reviving your spirit every time you feel down. It’s something to keep you in check while working yourself towards a goal so that you won’t get lost along the way. Motivations come disguised in many forms. They are the runway lights to a landing plane, the road signs to a travelling convoy, the walking stick to a blind man, the lover to another. They fuel your drive to continue living in order to fulfill your goals in life. Motivation can come from within or from an outside factor.

Motivation from within comes from self-esteem, self-actualization, acknowledgement of goals, and confidence in one’s abilities. When you recognize your worth, you will rarely feel demotivated because you recognize your role and purpose in the world and feel a sense of duty towards it that you have to fulfill every single day. This purpose gives you a set guideline on what to do with the life you’re living and how to further improve yourself and influence others at the same time. During this process you will set temporary and long-term goals that you will work towards for a duration of time. After which you will use your abilities to the fullest extent in order to fulfill this goal and move on to the next. 

Friends, family, lover, mentor. People who contribute to the outside factor of motivation. These people help you keep yourself in check by helping you achieve your own internal motivation. They help keep you in line and give you helpful tips on how to achieve a goal. Worries and doubts can be cleared once you set them as your motivation. Once you look into their lives and see how far they’ve come and how much they accomplished, it motivates you to have a similar sense of success. So it helps to have successful people as your motivation but they’re not the only sources of motivation. People who are seemingly unsuccessful can also be sources of motivation. You will be motivated by setting an example for them and influencing them to be productive and meaningful. 

Whatever form motivation may come in, it’s surely something that helps us achieve our goal. So it’s always important to keep your motivations in check and make sure you become a motivation yourself to others who are having a harder time than you are.

Impressions

April 19, 2016

“First impressions are only necessary when dealing with a person initially, subsequent encounters need further understanding of the person as a whole.”

First impressions come in handy during initial encounters with a person. Once you determine what kind of person they are from your impression, you interact with them accordingly. However, this may become a problem with subsequent encounters with said person. Given two scenarios:

A. Person gives you a bad impression

B. Person gives you a good impression

Scenario A:

When a person gives you a bad impression, you tend to have a negative perspective towards that person. Thus, every event or happening that involves them would immediately give off a negative vibe and you’ll become prejudiced towards the person. It won’t matter what good the person does, you will always see fault in their actions or you will refer to the person’s previous misdeeds to support your claim that he is bad. This negative outlook will pile on itself and may eventually lead to hate. It is important to recognize a person’s misdeeds as it will help you decide whether you should trust them or not. However, if you still haven’t proven them to be untrustworthy, learn how to avoid seeing them in a negative way as it clouds your judgement and may prevent you from seeing the good in seemingly bad people.

Scenario B:

When a person gives you a good impression, you tend to have a positive perspective towards that person. Thus, every event or happening that involves them would immediately give off a positive vibe and you’ll grow fond of that person. Everything this person does will be seen in a good light, so you will always see the kindness and goodness in their actions. This may pose a problem when said person commits a misdeed and you fail to see their fault because you consider them a good person. Also this fondness tends to build trust and you begin to hold them in high regards. So much that when you finally see their fault your trust will crumble down and you may see them in the same way you see a person in (Scenario A). Seeing the good in people is important as it gives off good vibes and you learn how to trust more. However, good people can also make mistakes, and you should learn how to weigh these mistakes in determining whether you still trust the person or not. A simple mistake should not be enough to destroy trust built on a solid foundation, neither should a solid foundation be reason enough not to fault a person for doing a terrible mistake.

Adjust your impressions accordingly and never convince yourself that you truly know a person. Claiming that you already know a person hinders growth and connection between the two of you. People change, and we need to be aware of these changes in dealing with them. Be patient and learn to be trustworthy, because knowing a person thoroughly may take as long as a lifetime.

Enemy

April 18, 2016 

“You will never understand your enemy if you keep calling them your enemy."

Once you have set into your mind that someone is your enemy, it will taint every judgement you will ever have of them. It’s similar to wearing dark-tinted glasses, wherever you look you’ll see things darker than everyone else. If you call someone your enemy, every word they’ll utter and every action they’ll make will be at least somewhat wrong because you’ll find fault in it in whatever way you can. It will make you jump into conclusions without analyzing the situation to an extent. Prejudice will cloud your judgement and you will come to hate everything that person will do.
