You are bored. It sounds obvious, but this tells me two more important things about you.

One, you’re in the top half of humanity’s wealth distribution, because the other half of the world’s population isn’t on line yet.

And two, since you’re here, you’re likely fighting a very modern human fight.

You’ve probably already got the basics covered — food, a roof over your head. For you, the obstacles to a better, happier life aren’t all concrete.

You’re trying to defeat more abstract enemies, laziness, boredom, self-doubt, procrastination.

Here’s the thing, all these concepts are one and the same. And there’s only one way to deal with them.

Thank you ….You’re not lazy. You’re not bored. You’re not unmotivated. What you are — what all of us are — is afraid.

And the best advice for overcoming fear is the bland three-word sentence Nike turned into the most successful marketing slogan of all time

Just do it.

You’re not unmotivated

“I’m not motivated” is never a true statement.

Not motivated to do what?

Work?

In that case, aren’t you motivated to avoid it?

very action human beings ever take is driven by some kind of incentive, whether it’s money, or happiness, or peace, or satisfying your conscience.

Do you want to add a word or two?….

Your motivation may not always be obvious, but it’s always there.

If you hate every second of the workday, you’re not unmotivated to change your job. But you haven’t, which means there’s something holding you back.

For some reason, it feels like you can’t make the change. It’s too hard, requires too much effort, and makes you too vulnerable to rejection.

So you don’t even try. But that’s entirely different from not being motivated, and it’s only a sign that it’s time to dig into this feeling.

You’re not bored

There’s a reason why people who work 9–5 jobs are more prone to catastrophic midlife crisis.

After a while, you’ll look back and you’ll see emptiness. You would’ve made money but the more you make, the more you spend.

That’s how economies thrive, that’s how governments run. You’ll begin to have more expensive lifestyles and work harder to sustain it.

You may even die of a stress induced heart attack along the way.

The world will congratulate you for every promotion. You will chase the illusion of happiness and the illusion of success.

I feel like maybe this life isn’t for me. Everything’s always the same. There is no magic and no adventures and everything feels like it will always be the same. I don’t know how to handle it.

So many of us were raised to a subtle beat that went something like this, “Get good grades. Get into a decent school. Get a solid desk job (with benefits). Be happy.”

Problem is, for some people this formula doesn’t lead to career fulfillment at all. In fact, for some, it’s a formula that ultimately makes them want to crawl out of their own skin or run screaming from that solid desk job (with benefits).

Could this be you?

 If you’re on the verge of giving up or struggling to push yourself to the next level, sometimes that’s just what you need.

So whether you’re trying to finish a project, start a new side hustle  , or hit that big life goal, knowing how to motivate yourself and train your brain for success can help.

Fallen into a slump?

Projects feel like a drag?

Friends getting on your nerves?

 Spending too much time staring at a blank computer screen?

We’ve all been there. What you need is some motivation and inspiration to get back on track. But how do you find them?

Your Comments….

The importance of understanding how these factors move a workplace. We’ll guide you through examples of motivation and inspiration in a professional setting.

As we grow old, we learn that life is not always easy. It becomes a battlefield we have to endure to survive.

Some days, things do not happen the way you want them to be. They fall apart, and you start to worry. Worse, you feel discouraged and lonely, thinking that there is no other way to straighten things up.

It is okay not to feel okay.

Just words, can be powerful. Encouraging means instilling courage – a brave act that is sometimes more compelling and effective than motivation.

Words of encouragement can help you think straight and get back on your feet.

They are not just for you to ponder on, but for you to use as well whenever a friend is in need. They work for everyone – anytime, anywhere.

First, we give you words of support and strength that may uplift your spirit and give you the courage you need.

They are words of inspiration and encouragement from people who have experienced their own struggles and eventually turned the tides.
