“How can another person motivate me?”
“How can I motivate anyone else?”
To motivate is to help someone understand the perspective which he buys. To be motivated by someone else, is getting convinced to do that job, with a logic which you are okay with. I have tried to put this fact in the simple way for a reason. Any work that we do by putting our heart will add to the confidence of your own self over a period of time while doing the same job over and over again. And slowly the same will reflect in our self confidence and performance.Belief systems are confidence boosters
I realized one profound fact in my life a decade back – “Confidence is a vehicle which is always self driven.”
Its only “YOU” who decide you will do a particular job or activity in your life or not. The fact on how we develop confidence is dependent on our belief systems which live deep down within us. These belief systems make us believe that we can do a particular job or not. These belief systems help us understand our capabilities. But most importantly these belief systems are not the sole sources to provide us with the opportunities to understand ourselves.
Sometimes other factors like experiences, events, mentors or teachers also play a major role. For e.g., when a child is repeatedly told by a parent that he is not good at practical execution of a project, the child cultivates a belief that his practical execution is not good and so he accepts this and shy’s off from trying new projects which involve practical execution.
Love your job and do it well
Motivation can be given and taken but confidence is generated on how well we perform a job and how much we loved that job while performing. We should always be motivated to do what we love to do; but which also means that we need a push for doing certain things which we are not so keen on doing; unless you find dots in a single line you can’t join them to make it a line.
If a job is not so important, then it does not matter whether we do it or not; but if it is a must, it becomes quite a bit to remain positive and perform the job with a strong inner push.
I call the whole confidence process as a self drive for a simple reason that we choose our own way to our living.
