One Huge Reason Why People Struggle With Motivation
It’s not the lack of discipline
Working with young people in personal development, sales, and leadership program for more than 10 years, I have noticed one common reason why it is hard for many people to stay motivated on something.
This is not the lack of discipline or the habit of procrastination, although many people struggle with that.
The problem is more profound; however, it is easier to solve.
You can find your inner drive and motivation by simply changing this one thing — find or clarify your “why.”
External Motivation vs. Internal Motivation
The external motivation we receive from outside — other people, prizes, motivational videos, recognition, money, etc. only lasts a minute. It's not permanent.
Internal motivation, however, does not dry out.
So how can you make sure you have enough internal motivation?
You need to have a clear, meaningful reason “why” you do what you do.
Your meaningful “why” is not what others say or the expectations set by the environment in which you grew up.
