You Do Not Necessarily Need Motivation if You Have a Plan!
Hi, Steemians!
A lot of people inquire as to the point of motivational speeches or words of wisdom. Some even wonder why there are so many people in need of motivation to continue their efforts!
And of course, it must be noted that motivation is not for everyone. A lot of people hold a bleak understanding of the world.
That bleakness and austerity does not slow them down or become a burden in their path. That gives them strength, because they have faith in their own truth.
Suffice to say, a motivational approach is NOT for everyone.
On the other hand, many claim that they need motivation to get on with doing something. Without incentive, they are simply not willing to put in the effort and achieve their goals.
But those who oppose motivation have a fair point too.
You see, motivation is not lasting. You may have experienced this. Watching a video or reading a motivational article fills you with excitement and energy, but soon enough, that energy fades.
Previously, we suggested that people should take small steps, or what we call ‘micro actions’ to implement the point of that video or article in their lives.
For example, when you learn about the Five Second Rule, you make a note to actually use it from now on in a specific timeframe.
But if you are looking for an everlasting solution, then you need to understand why motivation fades so quickly. When you are hungry, you have a motivation to eat and take care of your hunger.
After that, you are not hungry anymore. The motivation is no longer there. You do not continue eating.
The same is true about any other source of motivation; the video or the article makes a valid point and fills you with motivation to do something, a sole purpose that is right in front of your eyes at the moment.
When the moment passes, you no longer see clearly.
The motivation is not there anymore. But I am here to tell you something that relieves you of your constant need for motivational doses.
The trick is simple: Learn how to plan and use your fortified resolve to stick to your plans. That way, you will not need motivation to do particular tasks.
When you plan something and stick to it, after a while it becomes a force of habit.
For example, if I am to exercise every Wednesday, and actually stick to the plan with my will and resolve, I will not need motivation or reason to keep exercising.
Exercising for me becomes something that I just do, perhaps something that I have to do.
The only thing I need to do is stick to my plan.
Deep down in my bones I know that I need the exercise, but perhaps I don’t have the motivation to do it on a Wednesday.
That will not matter, because it is my plan and the only thing that I need to do is respect my plan.
When you plan something and actually stick to it, as hard as it might be for some people, you are creating an inner force of will that will help you everywhere.
This is the ultimate power of planning and using schedule to meet your ends.
Perhaps for people who do not like motivation, this is the only way that leads to success.
A BIG HUG!!!

Thanks All of You!!!!
A well made plan is the best way to start. Keep in mind, as we gain experience and success our plans can and do change because inexperienced make those kind of plans. Be flexible. You may discover what you really wanted to accomplish was the plan and not the goal. We get to keep our journeys but not the destination.
@bestfrank you are right..
That's REAL TRUTH @chbartist
IF YOU HAvE PLAN THAN YOU HAVE LOTS OF I IDEAS IN YOUR MIND
IF YOU HAVE IDEAS THAN YOU HAVE TO MAKE DECISION FOR IDEAS
IF YOU DECIDE MEANS YOU DETERMINED FOR YOUR AIMS
IF YOU HAVE AIM THEN GO AND GET IT
YOUR PLAN CAN MOTIVATE YOU BETTER THAN OTHERS
写的很有道理，赞！
For me planning and motivation are necessarily connected, I would have had some motivation in the beginning to make a plan or routine to stick to. However after the plan is in place further motivation may not be necessary. Motivational videos and books are useful sometimes to get you started but as I say they wear off unless you put it into action. Motivational speakers have a great skill getting the attention of their audience but how many people go away and put it into practice?

So much good stuff in here my dude. Excellent analogy about hunger, I've never thought of it that way before.
I like the idea of "respect the plan." I've had trouble doing that. Perhaps it is best to start with small things, and then work up to executing your plan for the entire day.
Motivation comes and goes. You need to make a habit of doing the things you need to do, like you say. Discipline is what will do that for ya. Motivation comes and goes; don't be dependent on motivation or you're screwed. If you got discipline you will become independent of motivation and will see better results. If you only do the work sometimes, don't be surprised when you only get results sometimes.
Consistency is so crucial in anything pertaining to success and achievement. Consistency means doing the work every day, for a LONG period of time. Of course, it is also worth noting that you should strive for excellence, not mere adequacy or worse. Cause you can be consistently bad at something too, but that ain't gonna get you results. So strive for consistent excellence I guess
Good stuff! Consistency is the gold standard for true achievement. Staying consistent allows us to have the fortitude to stick to the plan in order to make progress.
Good morning @chbartist.
The concept of motivation is a very crucial one toward success in any area of endeavor. Ranging from using it to bring out the best in workers, students, siblings, a lot of individuals.
Personal motivation is a key to success.
Knowing when to apply this idea is also a key for getting the best. I think we all need to apply this in one way or the other.
This is food for thought.
Thank you so much.
@bernard4ve
i couldnt agree more to that... peace
There are people who have a full willpower, never fail to it, those people can certainly do everything with or without motivation, while for others it is very necessary to have a motivation to move forward.
A keen sense of purpose and determination is motivation in itself to hike the path you have planned to take.

Saludos @chbartist cada proyecto en la vida debe llevarse paso a paso, cumpliendo cada plan o sueño que nos hemos propuesto…
strategies are the main things you should focus on as an entrepreneur, whether you're a fool or wise man. Wars, success, relationship or anything always depend on strategy
