Drive

Drive ? Or motivation what keeps you going or whatever floats your boat.

The first thing that comes to my mind are the motivational speakers. Really now get a real job and what exactly did you do with your life that qualifies you to speak about life from the position of “the all mighty I know everything” ? They are the spiritual leaders of the 21^st century and if in the past we were laughing about the American society and their multitude of religious sects and their followers now the virus has spread. It was so hard to understand how those huge numbers of people are following some idiot and they are seeing in him God’s gift to them. Contributing with money and blindly following their words was for us pure idiocrasy. We grew up and most of the young people are declaring themselves as non-religious persons. They are not realizing that they are blindly listening and taking as “word of law” and word from a motivational speakers or more that they follow. Each one of this guys managed to outsmart the past and they have their own personal cult and it’s spreading. At the end of the day humans need to believe in something, listen to something in any form possible and no one is free from this. Not condemning, it’s the basic market principle: stupid is the one that buys not the one that sells.

Not to be misunderstood, you and I we may relate to certain things they say because that’s the way we think also or because in a specific moment those words or quotes are in line with our state of mind. Either motivational quotes or videos and so on they are all actually what we already think and somebody mentions them. The problem is that there are a lot of people that are blindly taking every word as being theirs. The idea is that you should be smart enough and see use this a means to go on not to transform in to your own religion and start fights about it.

I think that to some extent the same applies to society rules and principles, they are changing faster than us with every generation and we should at least try and adapt. You have common sense on one hand and on the other you have principles that were transmitted from generation to generation, those are not yours hence you don’t live the life that was 100 years ago.

 

Drive comes from within and it’s your strong belief but sometimes you need some helping hands and it’s ok to use those helping hands called motivational speakers and quotes. Try and take it from people that actually did something in this life, don’t trust any full of the street that has a social media page if he doesn’t check out.

I, for example, follow the podcasts from Micutzu Stand-Up Official as he his guests are persons that really made the difference in their field of activity and I relate with some of the experiences and also I find useful motivation for the “keep trying till you make it “attitude.

 

I have some quotes on the walls in my home and friends are making fun of me on this but those are quotes that I identify myself with. Somebody smarter than me at certain point verbalized or written those stuff that I am thinking for while so there is nothing wrong. Wrong is when I see people that are taking every word as their personal religion or from a phrase that makes sense they are extracting a piece of sh*t that benefits their situation.

 

Be a better person, try to become everyday a beautiful human being by creating your path. Don’t follow somebody else path, we are unique. Don’t justify your flaws with words from motivational speakers but realize them and try to fix them.

 

Vey thigh with this is of course going to a therapist but don’t go because it’s cool, go because you need to talk with someone that you don’t need to impress. Go with an open heart and you will discover on your own the solutions, if you will not be honest you will be worse. Make sure you have a click and you will be amazed. There are people that will make fun of you but they will make fun of anything else if they have the occasion so never mind them. I know people that went trying to impress the therapist and they said the same lies that they are saying outside and guess what? They started to believe their own lies and day by day they are more lonely and they don’t understand why. I know people that spoke half of the situations that were troubling them because they were ashamed and guess what? They took steps not in the direction where the issue is but in the direction of creating issues and hurting people with them. I know people who didn’t click with the first 2-3 therapists and their mind became a heavy blur. Also I know people that reluctant to this and I somehow agree that you must want it before going but why not give it a try, at least?

 

My drive? Sometimes is there , sometimes not. But always in the same direction. Disappointed? More than you can imagine. Gave up? Never, I just took some breaks just to clear my mind. Did I abuse social media with quotes ? of yeah because they were those small helping hands in rearranging the pieces in my mind and soul.

This applies to both personal and professional life as at least for me they are both important. I want and I know I will get somewhere but I don’t want to be alone there, I want to have a beautiful family and I will have it, I want to have my friends with me and I will have them because we understand each other when we are stupid and encourage each other to make mistakes that we need in order to grow.

 

To all the messed up puzzles in search of the hands to rearrange them, one from within and one from outside. Drive on you passionate mo-fo.
