Answering the first question, I would honestly say that my motivation depends on the day, however I would rather call myself motivated than unmotivated. The problem with my motivation and achieving goals is that I can not work on things until I actually finish them, especially if it takes a lot of time. Whenever I feel motivated I start drawing, I take on guitar lessons or even start my own english dictionary to learn vocabulary. Unfortunately, I am really impatient and give up things very easily whenever I see that I need to work harder to actually see the results. I was really motivated to start playing the guitar. I had been learning for 4 years, until I realized that I will never be like the best rock musicians. This shows my problem, I am motivated to start things, but I lose my motivation when it comes to finishing them.
When it comes to what was said in the video, I absolutely love the idea of not thinking about your grades, talents or what you are or are not good at. Just take on new challenges, realize ideas and do not waste time. I really respect and admire that guy for deciding something and just keep doing it. No excuses, it felt like he is the most stubborn man in the world but in a very positive way. He really motivated me to start doing everything I gave up. I wish I was as stubborn as he is in fulfilling his decisions.
I had some goals for the new year. One of them was to give up sweets. Unfortunately, I have a boyfriend who loves feeding me with chocolate so I already gave up this one. The other one was to make my own portfolio website and I am still working on it. I hope that at least this one will work out.
1. I can't say I feel motivated, but from what people around me say, I can admit that it seems that I have the motivation to do much. I usually achieve the goals I set myself, but I don't set myself that many goals. I have a motivation to 'do something in my life' rather than 'do this one thing'.
2. I already heard about this method from one of my co-workers. He had some widgets on his phone and I took a look at them to see what they are about - it was one push-up, one page of a book, and one other thing which I don't really remember and it completely does not matter. At the first moment, I thought: meh, one push-up? Doesn't make any sense... But some time later I realized: have I done 7 push-ups this week? Well, maybe I did because I was going to the gym, but how about books? This time I had a problem reading them regularly and believe it or not - the method worked insanely well. I started with reading one page before I went to the bed. But... the books were interesting. So I read more and more. I can't say that I read 50 books this year like the man on the video, but at least - 1 - I started to read more books - 2 - I improved my sleep quality because I did not spend this time before going to sleep in front of the computer.
3. I don't set up goals just because it is a new year. When I see something interesting I just start doing it. For this moment I am practicing Wim Hof's method.
2. I have mixed feelings about that video. On one hand, I agree with most of the speaker has said, on the other, some small matter we're disagreeing in, are pretty important for me. I believe that hard work and not cracking under pressure are just sure ways of achieving success. I know that there are multiple ways to do that, but theese two ale fool proof, at least for me, while the speaker talks more about adjusting goals and why we should want it. I'm not saying ith's bad, just not my cup of tea.
3. I want to learn 2 more programming languages to become better programmer, that's for sure one of my most abicious goals. The plan is simple, I've already bough 2 courses online, every 2/3 days I'll spend an hour learning and then, I'll be able to achieve that by the end of the year :).
2. As always, there is a dude on the stage that explains to people what got HIMSELF motivated at some point in life and now he is staying motivated till the end. But the reality is that everyone needs to find what and how motivates him for himself.
3. I am going to register an LLC and begin a startup that will hopefully sell out for a million USD to some tech giant. My fathers success and lifestyle motivates me the most.
I think I am motivated, but sometimes I need someone to push me towards my goals. I can not say I always achieve my goals, maybe I am on the way for it because my goals are huge and need a lot of time to reach them.
What do you think about the method of achieving the goals presented in the video? Do you think you could apply it in your life?
As for me it was like well known methods which works just for several days after watching this kind of videos. For sure they are really great and might be helpful, but recently I was disappointed to listen to them because in general they are talking about the same thing on different videos. I don't think that I need a motivation speech. My theory is like " if someone needs a motivation speech he is motivated enough because he was motivated to watch the video or read".
What's your most ambitious goal for the new year? How do you want to achieve it?
My goals are not for a new year usually I don't have any goal for new Year, month or week. I have my goals in general for couple of years.
However having a goals for new year is good idea, maybe it is caring about my body and mental health. Stay fit and sporty after a corona time
I believe that the method shown in the video is a very good way to achieve goals. Often times, our goal is so ambitious and on a massive scale that this alone discourages us at first. Therefore, if we take this small step and persistently overcome these small tasks, we are able to achieve such spectacular effects that certainly exceed our imagination that we can do it. The thought of reading a paragraph of a book will bring me closer to reading it in its entirety much more than the thought - I have to read 200 pages. The person on the video is a perfect example that we can achieve all goals. I am eager to try to use the knowledge from the film to achieve goals that have not been fulfilled so far.
My most ambitious goal this year is to lose some weight. I'm going to definitely eat a lot less fast food and eat better. I will try to use the knowledge from the movie and start with small steps. As a first step, I will limit eating fast food to one time in two weeks. Also, to lose some weight I started exercising at home, unfortunately the gyms are still closed.
It really depends on my mood and how I feel at exact moment:) But I mostly do achieve the most important goals.
What do you think about the method of achieving the goals presented in the video? Do you think you could apply it in your life?
I absolutely love the idea of not thinking about your grades, education etc. I also think that judging yourself will never help you to achieve yor goals, it will only bring more stress to your live. So breath in, breath out and keep going.
What's your most ambitious goal for the new year? How do you want to achieve it?
Well id rather not say:) But I think that writing it down on paper, creating a simple “plan ” can really help in achieving my goal.
