Ah, the sweet taste of motivation that lingers in the air during our years of study. For me, it carried the promise of a career that would whisk me away to far-off lands. And you know what? It did happen! It not only opened the door to incredible travel adventures but also introduced me to some amazing souls, including the one who would become my life partner.
Motivation has this incredible ability to morph over time, like a chameleon adapting to its surroundings. These days, it often takes the form of responsibility. As I embrace the challenges that come my way, a sense of purpose propels me forward. There's a unique satisfaction that accompanies tackling problems head-on, armed with the mighty arsenal of tech tools.
Learning a business model, surprisingly, has become an avenue for my academic curiosity to flourish. The intricacies of how businesses operate have transformed from mere obligations into fascinating puzzles waiting to be solved. Each piece of the puzzle I decipher adds to my growing reservoir of knowledge, and the pursuit of understanding becomes a reward in itself.
In this dance with motivation and willpower, I've discovered a rhythm that harmonizes with the responsibilities I shoulder. It's a symphony of growth, learning, and the joy that comes from overcoming challenges. The promise that initially fueled my journey has evolved into a rich tapestry woven with threads of travel, technological triumphs, and academic curiosity.
So, to those navigating the intricate maze of studies and aspiring dreams, remember that motivation is not just a fleeting muse; it's a dynamic force that evolves with you. Embrace the transformations it brings, for in them, you might just find the keys to unlocking a world of opportunities, amazing people, and, who knows, maybe even a love story of your own.
I came to throw my opinion in here on this but nothing is topping that. That was a very well thought out and extremely soulful response that definitely deserves attention. You're comment alone could have made a good article piece. Thank you for opening to the community to that degree and happy venturing š
Someone telling you at an early age you have it and can wield it whenever you want. Maybe someone can change this about themselves if they lack willpower anytime, but thatās how I got it. Someone convinced me āwhen thereās a will, thereās a wayā so I started doing things on my own instead of relying on others. The more self-reliance I practiced, the more willpower I had.
It helps I also had the most stubborn parent as a role model, because stubbornness is just a negative way of saying āhaving the will to do something when you disagreeā. Be stubborn. Do things even if they defy othersā expectations. Thatās how you achieve willpower.
Most people that know me probably donāt know this but internally I have the most cynical, negative outlook. Itās quite confusing to even me how I persevere through my worldview but here I am, after getting hit by a car, laid off multiple times, rejected countless times by others, and I still keep going.
Thereās nothing mystical about it. Will is a mindset. Will can be trained, it can change, it can return when itās been lost for a long time. Will is already in you.
It come form the core of heart, when you heart and inner voice compel you to do something.
