F*ck Motivation
How many times have you heard about motivation? The motivation to do [insert here] or [insert there]… But as numerous people have pointed out motivation is fleeting.
So, what is the answer to motivation? Some will say the answer is discipline. Discipline in terms of having a routine and sticking to it no matter what, but is that even feasible? No one talks about what happens if the routine is broken, if major life events happen, or if the routine just doesn’t work anymore.
When is it appropriate to switch the routine? What happens when discipline just does not work given your life circumstances? Well, some mention habits aka the new fixation of the self help industry, but f*ck habits too.
Who predetermines what habits I have? Why do I even have habits? Who even defines what is considered a “good” or “bad” habit in the first place?
We as a species place this emphasis on success through motivation, discipline, habits, etc… for WHAT???!!!
We let industries tell us what matters for our lives, but who is to say what matters? The rendition of success we are sold via seminars, webinars, and books does not necessarily mean success.
What is success to you? Perhaps, that can lead to true success.
