Why Motivational Videos Are Destroying You and Why You're Drawn To Them
Jim Rohn
Motivation is an emotion that you feel as a drive to fulfil a desire and the intensity of the motivation varies in direct proportion to the importance of that desire to you.
Now let's examine your habit of watching motivational videos
It’s fun to watch motivational videos. The problem is that this become like Netflix. You consume without ever doing anything.
The problem is that you actually feel like you’re accomplishing something, but then you go back to regular routine
Observe that in these moments, you decide to get motivated by an external stimulus
External stimuli won't last long until you have an inner flame to achieve
This is what everyone hates to hear. You hear about the guy who watched some video and changed his course of life
Do you think that they were telling the whole world how motivated they were when they were going through hell?
So to subdue that guilt, to prevent it from becoming a major worry, you found out an easy solution, motivational videos.
Therefore, I suggest to confront root
If you’ve watched many motivational videos, you’ll hear many of the same things over and over again.
You might repeat them a few times but if it doesn’t result in any action, it’s literally just an empty chant.
