If you lack motivation watch this

This is a really good video thought I would share it.

Wow! Thanks for this! ??

Do you want to be bullied into doing something? It's like self help boot camp. I'd run the other way if he approached me in a mall!

Yes. I do.

I don't have passions, so that's how I survive.

No passions at all? How so?

I'm completely happy and content with what I have. I don't want more.

But then I can't survive if I don't move. So, I need motivation.

People like that guy in the video literally infect me with energy.

@Truth Addict So why are you on this forum? 

He does the opposite for me. But that's the beauty of it, there's no one size fits all. 

What motivates me is results. If I don't see any results that's it, I've given up. Anyone can say anything, but to manifest, now that's motivation for you.

There are many answers to this question (in no particular order):

• Killing time.
• Helping others.
• Learning more/developing oneself.
• I resonate with the kind of people that are here more than all others/I belong.
• Sometimes just showing off.
• Sometimes just because I'm addicted.
• Sometimes just to avoid/bypass the actual work.

I have many values, but I wouldn't call what I do a "passion".

Me too.

But then how do you motivate yourself for long-term goals? Like going body building, finishing college, etc...

Sometimes vision is not enough, especially if I don't really believe in it.

That is the million dollar question. 

I am forever looking for new ways to do this. Quick wins can keep you motivated on the path, and realising you will always backslide no matter what.

Apparantly some self help guru once said we over estimate what we can achieve in six months but underestimate what we can achieve in five years. This is key. 

I like your answers to why you are here, it's not just me then!

@Keyhole i think that is a bit much saying i need to commit suicide. I never meant to offend anyone.

Anyway this is pretty much the only video where he is like this and he only was like this because he was asked to be like this.

@Keyhole Didn’t got the impression that it was a joke from the tone you where writing in but I am glad it isn’t meant as a “attack”(for lack of better word)?
