HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED


“Inspiration” and “motivation” are two words that are misinterpreted to hold the same meaning and are often used interchangeably. They may be similar conceptually but are completely different from each other in their true meaning. Inspiration is derived from “in spirit”, which essentially means from within. Whereas, motivation originates from “motive”, referring to an external force that compels us to take action.
Motivation usually comes into play when we need to carry out a difficult task, push through a stressful situation or need to meet a deadline. We usually rely on motivation when it comes to accomplishing something we may not necessarily look forward to. It’s that voice in your head that tells you “You can do this”, “It will be worth it” just when you are about to roll back into bed, tempted to miss your morning work or gym alarm. Motivation comes from results and that is exactly why it’s so easy to get demotivated. It’s fleeting, something that comes and goes and is hard to sustain.
Inspiration, on the other hand, comes from within us. It draws us towards something or someone that overwhelms us with that heart-stirring, spine-tingling feeling. We usually get inspired by an individual, a story, a situation or an event. When we are filled with inspiration, we are not worried about an end result, rather, we want to hold on to that feeling for as long as possible. When we refer to somebody as our inspiration, it’s because that individual has moved our emotions and intellect.
Inspired people don’t really need to rely on an external motivational factor to progress in life. They are not worried about the end result but instead, are focused on giving their 100% every day. When we are uninspired and don’t have a clear goal or vision, we tend to depend on external motivation to get things done. Being inspired gives us a feeling of meaning and purpose which is enough to keep pushing forward without having to sit around, waiting for motivation to come by.
If you are inspired to reach your goals, it doesn’t mean you won’t need a push every now and then. It just means that you won’t be looking for motivation every single time you get down. So, how to stay motivated? Find what inspires you, dig deep within and find what gets your heart racing, your blood-pumping — what is it that gets your juices flowing? And pursue it, with all you’ve got. If you are somebody who constantly struggles with motivation, you need to, first, be inspired to reach your goals and the motivation will follow.

 Lots of Lovee..!!!

DOUBLE STANDARD

DOUBLE STANDARD It's not that hard to know that we live in a society where double standards are at the core of everything, we will want an educated wife and not allow her to work, we will want good politicians but won't want our kids to be the one's to change the systems in place cause it too risky, we will make fun of our cricket team and expect them to give us our best, we call male/female instrument of pleasure for many models and a loved while if they becomes instrument of pleasure to one they become an escort/prostitute and a symbol of hate. In fact we use religion too as a tool to emotional blackmail, exploit and win arguments may it be personal or political.   We will have to start thinking, because if we don't have the ability to think then 100 years of freedom wouldn't bring us any good.

School is FAILING Entrepreneurs Every Single Day

The title arose a question : Did school fails you or you failed School? School is failing entrepreneurs every single day because it's not build for entrepreneurs, it's build for workers. We are being taught to play within the lines. There is nothing being taught that maps to the entrepreneurial market. As a matter of fact my biggest cynicism when I sit across an entrepreneurs today as if they are to successful at school. I probably look at grads starting start up right now with more of negative light than I do somebody who wasn't as good, Why?. Why, Because what I have learned over the last few years and by the way I have taken a step back on this because there are too many entrepreneurial friends who have gone to great school that have been successful. So this is not a blanket statement, but I will tell you that in a world of private schools, in a world of mommy and daddy having a lot of connections. That when you go from 12,15, 18 years of the transport system an...
