GATHERING MOTIVATION BLOG !! MOTIVATION

Getting to know ourselves, and awakening our inner self was a good start, and if you’ve come till here, then we’re proud of you. Now comes the practical part. To get a kick to our goal, to our passion, to fuel ourselves, to get ourselves ready; and so, here is our theory to gather motivation, which will now help you to understand the aspects of this goal, and keep you going throughout the process.

You see how we just feel really low throughout the day, and there’s this one thing that changes and uplifts our entire mood. Or maybe, we watched movies in our childhood, and in every other movie we watched, we wanted to become the same character as in that movie, a pilot, a doctor, a police, a teacher, or maybe a business person.
Do you notice how things and people and movies and even little moments for that matter, influence us and our way of thinking somehow? This is an influence. If it’s good, then it is motivational for us, and if it is unhealthy, then it takes us on the wrong path. Let us see how to find out the right influence, and more on it.

The question that comes up is, what actually is motivation? Inspiration? Are both the same terms? Is there a difference? Let us find out.

Bahar se, there would be sources telling us that we can do it. We will feel it inside us, that yes we can, but how to actually do it? This is the fire that has been lit in your mind by that external source. In the start, you will feel all geared up, and all enthusiastic; but then, slowly these questions and desires would fade away. The fire won't last long. This external source, the external push, is motivation, it is like a medicine, a pain killer, le li to think, nahi to bimar aur lachaar.

Also, there are plenty of people trying to tell us what to do, and what not, saying that it is good for us. But what is good for you, is something that only you know. Listen to everyone, some people might be correct, but you will have to go with your internal call, what is good for you, and what is not. The world is full of information, the biggest of its providers being the internet itself, there are things- healthy and unhealthy, it depends upon us, what we want to choose for ourselves.

You therefore need to know what actually is good for you, and what actually keeps you going. But you also need to know the difference between short-term and long-term influence.

We discussed the movie, right? It made us want to be that character for some time until we watched another movie and changed our wish to become a doctor instead of a pilot now. This short-term influence is motivation. And the desire to be like someone in real life, and work hard for it and not change our opinion about it from any external influence, is Inspiration.

There is a huge huge difference between motivation and inspiration.
Inspiration is your internal call, of being like someone you admire. Inspiration is a unified term. We can also say that inspiration is a combination of Motivation & Direction. Someone whom you get motivated by, someone you admire, someone you think of, as your role model, someone who shows you the direction of what to do and what not to, and you find their advice good for you, that someone is your inspiration. Inspiration is limitless and beyond predictable.


When you are inspired enough, you always charge up, without any external push or pressure. When you feel less energy or weak, you can consume motivation to get a kick. Motivation is good until a limit, but it can change our lives if put up in the right direction. Motivation is like fuel, required to start the rusted engine of the train, and once the train starts running on the right track, you will get inspired, and will not require regular motivation and that kick anymore.

Now, where to get this motivation from? You can get plenty of motivation online— it can be self-help books that you read, or podcasts that you listen to, youtube videos that you watch, blogs, journals and articles, and whatnot in this world of technology. Small incidents, or people around you, documentaries which you watch that are about real incidents, and life stories of known personalities can inspire you to achieve. You will find people, whom you relate with a lot, who started from nothing and today, have achieved everything in their lives, which in today’s world, are aspects of success– like name, fame, and wealth.

Remember, motivation is temporary, while inspiration is permanent. An inspired person will always inspire other people and try to bring about a change, from within and to the world outside.

You cannot do anything when you don’t have a kick; a real-life considerable example that we can easily be related to, is about a mother giraffe, that kicks its baby right after a few days of birth until the baby can stand on its own, and that is very important for the baby, otherwise, it will become the food of a predator the next day. Motivation is like the coffee that keeps us going at the night before an exam. In the end, it completely revolves around us, how we take things, and what we find good for us. In the end, you have to find the correct tool for your motivation and a role model to get inspired from. In our personal opinion, get inspired by people, but do not try to be exactly like them, take their goods, and create a personality of your own, find and build yourselves because you are a puzzle, and you now have to find pieces that perfectly complete you.

You will feel the energy, the current, within yourselves only if you have a purpose, a goal, a motive for life.
