I am grateful for what I have. Blessed with a family, surrounded by beautiful people in my personal and professional circles, a job that can pay my bills and a home to sleep in ( and to accumulate all useless stuff 😁). But at times I feel lost and my motivational levels go down.
I followed many leadership gurus. Robin Sharma, Vishen Lekiani, David Goggins, Jordan Peterson and many others. Yes, their ideas helped me a lot. But the person who can motivate you the most is none other than you. When you need motivation just think about why you came so long to this point. You could have dropped it on the way. But you struggled and reached here. Yes, there were times when we were emotionally down, lazy, and professionally weak. But those times will also go away. As Steve Jobs once quoted. You cannot connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them by looking backwards. Follow your intuitions. Your brain or your intellect is limited. Don't rely much on it. Living using your brain will not take you so long. But your heart is aware of what you need, what is your purpose, your future, even your next life (if there is any) and everything. That is why we have intuitions. Life will be full of perplexing situations.
