One does not even realize it would be missed until it goes away from you. The missed can range from anything to everything, tangible to non-tangible, humanity to materialism, nihilism to love, depression to happYness. Everything you miss is a factor of what you think, and it merely reflects your thought process and values. The mind is a dominant player, and we do need to fool it time and then again..When we start something new, or we try to move towards a "change", it always takes some time and efforts to overcome the phase of denial and self-doubt. And most of us, in most of the changes, give up at a very early stage and hence, all of us are not successful in our own eyes, kinda ever.Once we move ahead of that phase, the real learning starts, and gradually, we realize we are not as bad as we thought we were. That feeling is the moment when you have successfully overcome/fooled your mind. Earlier the terms and thoughts like "you cannot do this", or "this is not meant for you", were being dictated by your mind and every "giving up" thought was so tempting and irresistible, that you almost gave up to it.But since we are above that line as far as our real inner motivators take us, ending up with unsatisfactory jobs, businesses or life, is almost a well-accepted truth for MANY. But please tell me this: "Are we here to live an unsatisfactory life just because we are bound by some things??" Doesn't it define mental slavery to its core? Why do we bow to it? Think about it. Everyone has their reason, but those are reasons for not achieving what you didn't. Do not tell anyone any reason, tell them to yourself and solve them, work on them to reach the solution. Use all the resources that you can, don't be scared of judgmental people, they are useless, and give a shout out to close people.Ideally, only and only when all of this is exhausted, and we do not find peace anywhere, we could move to external motivation. Realistically, since external motivation is easier to find and is readily available on our phones at any time of the day, we give it much more importance than what we should. Also, it might be a good idea to keep switching between internal and external motivators because again, we have to fool our mind, and it is not an easy task to do it. You might forget some of the things, but the mind remembers your deepest secrets and dearest times. It just chooses to let you store all of it as depicted in the Pixar movie "Inside Out" and sends you information according to its will...Mantra #12: Giving up is the easiest thing to do. Anyone can give up on anything, anywhere. Literally. How about we do the difficult thing as a human and only give up with our last breath, maybe not even then!!!Peace.
