Identify Your Invisible Drivers
|
Hi Reader! People are always quick to point out how important discipline is and how motivation is overrated. I argue that motivation is the first step to becoming more disciplined. You need a clear picture in your mind of what you desire, so much that you're willing to endure the disciplines it'll take to materialize that image. Humans don't just embrace discipline. We're motivated by so many things, and I believe it's important to examine our motivations to understand what's really driving us. I'm motivated by my love for writing and a strong desire to be a writer and creator who inspires positive introspection and changes in people's lives. I want to fulfill God’s purpose by becoming all that I can and need to be. That's something I think about often. I don’t want to get to the end of my life and realize I didn’t explore every talent and ability that God blessed me with. Every day, I think of how to make progress because I really want to be all that I can be. You can be motivated by love, social recognition, impact, fame, validation, even fear, and past trauma. Discipline follows a clear and strong motivation. That’s what I believe. I wrote more about this on the blog. I hope you identify the hidden drivers propelling your actions and ensure they align with your unique giftings and purpose. Alright, that'll be all for now, until next Friday.

Hi Reader! One thought that has consumed my mind as I'm figuring out life and adulthood is the kind of person I want to be. How do I want people to remember their encounter with me? A few things come to mind, and I’ll highlight one today. Growing up, I've always been among the “smart and outgoing” kids. You know those kids who get decent grades, speak or perform confidently in public, write and memorize well. But in university, especially after graduating, I quickly realized that whatever I...
Hi Reader! We have all that we need to be 1% better today, and repeat tomorrow. We just dislike the idea of starting small, asking for help, looking scrappy and enduring the hard things. We want the posh appearance, the expensive gear, the mainstream mentors, the huge capital.. So when someone asks you why you haven't started yet. You have a lot to say. “I don't have money. I don't have a good camera. I can't afford the course. I'm not this, I'm not that..” We love pointing to all that we...
Hi Reader! This is a repost by the way.🙈 Enjoy! Ever witnessed a heated debate about the greatest people in a field? Whether it's football, basketball, Hollywood, Kdrama or a comparison of your local universities. Of course, such an argument is to be expected when people pick favourites even among people, places, or things with great qualities. The truth is, every competitor in a “who's the greatest” debate possesses excellent attributes worth admiring and discussing. But, since only a very...
