If you’re like me, when I’m stuck in a rut or
just need a pep talk, I go down memory lane to recall words of friends that
would help or I surf the net for some motivation and the latter always seems a
little counter-productive. Makes me realize that we all need to find our own
motivation. That means getting away from our computer (unless you are reading
my blog…then by all means, carry on. Lol!). Most motivational posters and
quotes are contradictory these days anyways. Take a look at these examples for
instance:
“Good
things come to those who work”
Vs
“Good
things come to those who wait”.
“Anything
your heart desires will come to you”
Vs
“Stop
wishing and start doing”.
“Life
always offers you a second chance, it’s called tomorrow”
Vs
“The
future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow”.
“Don’t
be afraid to change, you may lose something good but you may gain something
better”
Vs
“You
are perfect exactly as you are, with all your flaws and problems, you don’t need
to change anything. All you need to change is the thought that you have to
change”.
See,
ain’t that conflicting? These are just a few examples. The point is, for every
motivational quote there is equally an opposite and contradicting motivational
quote it seems like. We have to find out how to motivate ourselves with our own advice. We are the best indicators of
what works for us and what doesn’t. Go bloom!
