MOTIVATION IS YOU

Preface I have never been motivated myself ever till I got to know what is motivation. People around me always guided me around lot of major factors of motivation, but it was strange for me that none of the factor or process worked on me.

I was losing all my hopes in life and was sure of quitting what I was doing. I decided that I am not capable enough of doing or achieving things.

I have never been a topper in school and was never considered among

bright students. My parents were too much concern about my future and I was always been given examples of some of my friends and cousins (you know a common trend followed by parents) yes, sometimes a comparison can be a motivational factor, but for me it didn't worked and somehow I was able to pass my schooling with no great results. My parents were not happy but yes I was happy as I was feeling like I am out of prison. For me school was a prison when I actually realised I was fool in thinking so. I know my parents were not happy with my results but yet they always motivated me "yes you can do, do

better next time." but my next time never came.

I was sure I have something which I need to do but something was missing within me and I was not able to understand the factor which was missing.

I wanted to do best and wanted to make my parents feel proud, I knew that I will be able to but how? When? What was missing? I never knew this till I read a story somewhere... it all started and I knew what was missing.

"Am I dead or alive, am I here or there"

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news paper had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock, Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read "Dynamite king dies" and also "he was the merchant of death". This man was the inventor of the dynamite and when he reads the

words merchant of death. He asked himself a question, " is this how I am going to be remembered?" he got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the was he wanted to be remembered from that day on, he started working towards peace. His name was 'Alfred Noble' and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.

It really made me think, what is something I can do so I am remembered and my family is proud of me.

MOTIVATION IS YOU

It's not about life, it's about moving from one place to another. When you move from school to college, college to profession institute, from masters to corporate and each level you leave few memories and few people, you need to give something to everyone so that they remember you. Something they cherish about you. Do something for society everyday.

MOTIVATION IS YOU

DREAM & GET OUT THERE We humans are far different from anything ever observed. We have the amazing capability to perceive the world around us, and use what we know to make something from nothing, either in our mind, or in reality. Our minds have endless capacity for knowledge, and there is no limit to how much we can learn and create.

We are always overlooking the advanced capabilities of our own

have no reason to stop building, and stop imagining.

Get out there, and do something amazing, because in the end, there is no wrong way to live your dream in the fullest. You have what is needed to achieve your dreams. Never think you can't, be motivated always & think "Yes I can, I will" and the success will be there soon.

MEANINGLESS GOALS.

MOTIVATION IS YOU

MEANINGLESS GOALS. A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around. As soon as one came he would run down the road, braking and trying to overtake it. Once day I asked the farmer “do you really think your dog is ever going to catch a car" The farmer replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one."

Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals.Set up goals which deal with

We know that we must have to achieve Success in life and we tend to not take action. We have many reasons for not achieving what we want. Many times though we know that logically we are right we tend to move away from it, the reason being Emotions. Emotions are what drive us everyday, every moment. Imagine that you are on your bed and your mind knows that it is good to do exercise, you talk to yourself, "Do you want to do it today? Or shall I start tomorrow?" and you know this emotion that creeps in decides your fate. This small difference could create a huge impact in the quality of your Life.

MOTIVATION IS YOU

Time of Adversity -

Don’t blame ‘God’ or ‘Destiny’. God & Destiny never want you to be in trouble or bad phase, it’s your acts which lead to you in bad time, and as we don’t have ability (being human) and calibre to accept our mistakes so we always have the habit to blame god & destiny, since birth we have been listening “god didn’t wish, so it happened” , “ Its bad time, will pass away.” Think once , how bad time will pass when you your acts are not working for it.

Keep Smiling Funny things, funny people, funny books, funny shows, interesting friends, hang around with these things. The most interesting part for these is that once you start laughing you will not be able resist yourself. Smiling is always a choice we have, and believe me its easiest thing to do. Smiling will not change your bad time but for sure it will change the way you look at adversity. I meet lot of young talent across and they come to me stating “Ash, you don’t
