Article 207 - Turning inner pain and struggle into strength and motivation

Sometimes we face days when we feel crushed, demotivated, and hurt inside. I guess such days happen when we keep everything that we are dealing with, all the problems and challenges inside of us without letting them out on the outside. So, all these self-crushing and demotivating thoughts accumulate one on top of another, and eventually reach a point when all of our positive energy gets overwhelmed by all the worries and concerns, we have been keeping inside.

So, what now?

Do we just remain in this unproductive and negative state of mind?

No! Definitely not!

We must use such time to reflect on everything that has happened to us and around us, analyze actions we have taken, specifically, how we have dealt with various problems and challenges. Then, pick out information which can help us in the future, and throw everything else out, all of the negative stuff that serves no purpose in our life now or in the future. We must leave everything that weights us down behind, in the past, and keep moving forward. We should use tough time as opportunities to recharge our batteries, remotivate ourselves, smile and do what we do best – WIN. Nothing and no one are able to stop us from having a positive attitude and optimistic focus.

There will always be tough times in everyone’s lives from time to time, however, such tough times are not permanent, and are there to give us an opportunity to show to the world how strong we are, how determined we are, and that we are simply unstoppable.

Remember that you are enough. You have what you need to be happy, successful, and fulfilled. Motivation comes from the inside of us, it is always there. We may run into a challenging situation and deal with a difficult time as part of our daily life, when negative stuff takes over, however, our motivation, our strength, is still there within us. All we need to do is remind ourselves why we do what we do every day. We need to remind ourselves - Why we go to work every day? Why do we get up and go to our office every day? And for whom are we doing it? I am sure that in addition to our own personal wants and expectations we all have people in our life who depend on us and wish for us to be happy and successful. So, just remember that you are not alone, you are strong, loved, and someone who does not give up when life gets tough. You are enough!
