Everything You Need To Know About Motivation

We are continually updating ourselves with motivational phrases, tools and philosophies to move forward in a full and positive way. But they do not usually tell us much about what exactly motivation is and how it works in us.

The following confidence phrases and reflection texts that I leave here will help us to understand the reason for the rise and fall of our self-confidence and why it is so influenced by factors that many times we do not control.

These are the main characteristics of motivation,  its process within us and the external situations that condition it:

-The society in which we live does not help us to trust ourselves, but it lowers our self-confidence. It focuses more on teaching us to trust too many external factors, all kinds of rigid institutions and systems that ensnare us. We have unconsciously accepted a series of agreements that are part of the system in which we live, and that we must break in order to be happier.

-Socially we have created a way of life in which it is important that there be as many people without trust and, consequently, without the engine to carry out dreams. All this facilitates the passivity of a human being lacking motivation and desire to improve, much more manipulable.

-People with self-confidence move autonomously and are free and unpredictable . They cannot be forced to believe in anything external. They themselves feed back their feeling with confidence. If they love each other, they will trust.

-They are people willing to risk everything if they really trust, but only when they really feel it inside.

When we talk about the terms “trust and believe ” it is very important to be very clear about what we are referring to with each one. A different meaning could mean a totally different concept of action, in this case, motivation.

This is the difference between believing and trusting:

• To believe. It is somewhat theoretical. You can believe in a science, in a theory, in an idea. It’s in the mind, it’s manageable, and it allows for change.
• Confidence. It refers to the existential. It is born of oneself, meeting in our hearts. The roots of trust are in the deepest part of being. The existential being will never die. Confidence can be cultivated, learned and developed as much as we want.

Motivation, confidence and the past

One of the hardest things for people is forgetting the past. There are many factors from the past that influence what happens to us in the present moment of life since, biologically, our brain has a rectilian part linked to survival and protection. Hence, each negative event and its way of overcoming it is so ingrained within us.

When we talk about forgetting, leaving behind scares us.

Forgetting we perceive it as if we left behind a part of our own identity, something belonging to us. It’s like we have to forget ourselves and that really scares us.

The great importance of this emotional process is that leaving behind the only thing we know about ourselves costs us . We would be losing our ego and we don’t like that. In many traditions and cultures the emphasis is on disappearing. The act of disappearing and detaching ourselves from the egocentric Self makes us connect with the divine.

The reason for meditation

That is what meditation consists of , being present in body and mind with our being in pure attention and listening, leaving aside our ego.

The problem of integrating all of the foregoing into our Western society is that we ourselves have been directing our steps in the opposite direction : we do not listen to ourselves or take ourselves into account internally. Saying this we do not say that there is no solution. To regain a state of silence, without judgment and innocence, we have to do personal work based on learning perseverance .

The secret that we always look for when we read confidence phrases is to listen to ourselves, to our inner voice that does not stop trusting us. Obviously listening to it requires practice, but as soon as you get it, you hardly go back on that path.

What do you need to listen to your confidence?

To have self-confidence and take healthy control of our lives you need to leave behind that noise from outside from friends, family, bosses … Say goodbye to the voices that in the past implied high standards and behaviors that came from other people who were not you.

Integrate as a habit of your day to day the reading of phrases as beautiful and full of wisdom as the ones that I leave you below:

-A man who is himself, who has cut ties with the past, original and strong as a lion and innocent as a child, will be able to reach the stars.

-To have wisdom it is necessary to have inner strength. Without internal development, we can lose self-confidence and courage. The impossible can be possible with willpower.

-Pretend to take life seriously. The clever, if they believe you, will consider you trustworthy; If they don’t believe you, they’ll take you for smart.

-Currently freedom and security are not found so much in what we have, but in what we can create through trust.

-Look, I am very interested in having a Martian friend, but interest is not always associated with trust. It is necessary to speak more thoroughly to turn interest into confidence.

– Confidence comes from discipline and training.

-NO ONE can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I hope that these words and phrases have filled your heart a little more with magic and trust as they filled me and I wanted to share with you.
