Motivation is bullshit

Just me drinking coffee

Most of us constantly are looking for motivation. We watch films, read beautiful quotes about it and we are still at some point.

What if motivation which you know is just something that you don’t need?
What am I doing when I need motivation? I don’t think about it. I don’t think about swimming. I just move my hand and my leg. And then second hand and leg. I’m not running. I move my hand then I move my leg. Thinking about sports activity scares me. But of course, I can move my leg and hand.

You cant remember thousands of new words? Start with one word. Learned one word is something you can achieve. Just it. It is simple. It works. Why does it work? Because you are focusing on one simple step, after all, it is all that you need.

Later you will discover that you even don’t need energy as much as you thought. Taking actions, working makes energy. Yes, I will write this again. Activity brings you energy, after some time also motivation which you know from films.

I hope you have found something interesting from this short note and will apply it to your life.
