Motivational
Life is full of challenges, but it is only the tough ones who can get through these phases of difficulties. The run to the finishing line is never all that simple. It is rather tough and full of thorns. After all, the beauty of a rose is with its thorns. And every pathway of rose petals would have its thorns that have to simply be removed. This is life. This is in fact an exciting life.
No one is saying it is easy to get over the obstacles that are thrown in one’s way. But that are ways in which one can deal with them. The first step towards this is motivation. One needs to be engulfed inside and out with optimism and vigor. The feeling of ‘so what’ should permeate through every cell of the being, which then makes even the darkest night, full of stars to guide.
Sometimes it is difficult to see the guiding stars because of the dark clouds of pessimism. Well, then the best thing to do is to immerse the self into all that is motivational. These could be books, posters, songs, stories, people, movies, speeches… almost anything that stirs the mind to wakefulness and fills the being with the positive energy needed to fuel one towards their goal.
There have been poets, thinkers, historical figures et al, through the ages who have contributed towards giving the world pearls of motivation. They rekindle the fire from within and drive one towards their destination. And immersing oneself into such a world of optimism is the only cure for a pessimistic being.
