Some motivational quotes secretly demotivate.

It’s likely that you read have read articles or saw pictures about motivation, positivity, energy and other life’s things. I wonder if all motivating articles and images you have faced really motivate you? I dare to guess that it is not. Probably you notice how much there are spam in the Internet, which actually destroys motivation instead of having to build it.

Just today I saw a picture with words that should motivate me, but it states that I am a loser if can’t change the world. Does it encourage me to jump of the sofa and run to change the world? Or maybe the word “loser” hit deep into the heart, pierces it, and all the strength and energy just flows out as a liquid chocolate? First we need understand from where it all comes.

First of all, some people simply have a level of very high innate energy. They cannot sit still on the spot, they do not need   any extra motivation. When such people begin to create motivation images – don’t wait a good. Pictures just explode by energy of people who make them and for the human looking for the strength to rise from the couch, simply is too much energy provided in those pictures.

Also, people’s values are different. If a person likes to compete with others, then everything about becoming superior to others will motivate him. If a person likes the harmony of the relationship, then everything about becoming superior to other demotivates him.

And in the end, people can be on a different stair on the way to the task. Well, after all, all people cannot do everything with maximum strength. Therefore, for those who are deciding how to find the strength to take out the trash will not help inspiring statements about the change of life or personal growth. If looking for strength to change jobs or life direction, it not help you statements about every day persistently doing the same.

Not all motivational statements fit always and motivate everyone. There are those that are appropriate for you and just right now. But I think that there are those who are rarely useful, and sometimes even harmful. When it says that we should do impossible or change the world, that caused feeling is like our goals are not ambitious enough. Such slogans do not encourage to seek your goal that you have already set, but encourage to set another more ambitious goal. But more chance to reach the goal if it is not increased to the size of the globe, but divided into small easily enforceable goals.

When we are asked a question what we have done amazing, this makes us think whether it is amazing or not amazing what we have done? We start compare ourselves with others. But comparing with other people is one of the main reasons for dissatisfaction with life. When constant encourage us to get out of our comfort zone – it is a nightmare. Yes, the output of the comfort zone is necessary for the personal growth. However, personal growth happens when a person is on the limits of comfort zone. Important effect of personal growth is the expansion of his comfort zone.

It says that magic happens when you get out of comfort zone. Such statement will condemn you to the end of life to feel overstrain, pushed out of the comfort, safety zone just to experience the magic, which is not clear whether you need it. From such motivation you will get choked by over motivation and feel permanent dissatisfaction with the current situation. The best thing is to have to inspiring goals and know what you need to do to achieve them.
