Steemit Engagement Challenge (SEC)| S12W2- "Self Motivation"

Hey Steemian friends!

This word has an amazing affect to the life! It is the pure energy that drives life towards to do something. Today in this contest I will look how my life has work around this word “motivation”.

👉 What do you think causes people to lose their motivation in life?

I feel that motivation to do something come up with a goal. For an example, having a good result in an exam, have a six-figure salary, have a nice car, have a six pack abs, the list can go on and on according to the personal choices. In my opinion, if someone lack of clear goals they can be demotivated to achieve things in the life.

However, this goal can get affected of many other factors. Let’s say someone wants to buy a car. Now in order to achieve this goal this person should have money, a way to maintain it and also driving license to drive it. Now what if he doesn’t know how to drive a car! or what if he doesn’t have money to maintain it and make another financial burden in life. Long story short, if you can't see how to make your goals happen in real life, your motivation can vanish into thin air quickly.

👉 Have you been discouraged or depressed before? How did you handle it

Oh yes! Actually, more times than I can count! My most depressed moment was when I was diagnosed with type 02 diabetics. I was like, seriously? I'm not even a fan of sweets!. The pandemic stress, financial issues and lack of exercise turned me into a bit of a wreck.

I then realized that I have to change my life style. I did regular exercises and now I’m practicing intermittent fasting to control the amount of food intake to my body. My mind knows that if I don’t make this a habit, I will be the one who suffers from the consequences. So that thought has always motivated me to stay on the right track.

👉 Is self-motivation a good practice? Explain

It is the secret ingredient of life for success, isn’t it?! life can throw us all the trouble in our life but there's this one thing we can do, look in the mirror and say to yourself, "Come on, you can do it!" That's when the whole game changes.

The energy, enthusiasm, and determination which come within is the driving force to take this world up. We can see many people has done unimaginable achievement in this life due to this inner fire.

👉 On Steemit what keeps you motivated

The dreams! If there’s one thing that can turn around my life, it would be Steemit. What we earn here is a cryptocurrency and you all know how unpredictable these coins are. One good initiative from the management team, some billionaire's interest to invest, or a crazy twist in the regular financial system, boom! The value of what we earn can sky rocket 🚀. So, that is what keeps me motivated here.

I want to earn as many as Steem before that happens and be ready for the hopeful future. We never know in the future Steem might be a major currency for transactions! But even if it doesn't turn out like that, no real issue. I'm ready to roll the dice out and give it my all. Right now I'm helping out wherever I can to make this platform even better, because it's become a part of my heart and life already!
