People are trying to get motivation by attending motivational lectures, seminars, by watching videos, and TV shows almost every day. They are searching for people who could motivate them and then they could start a new better life. It is my personal observation that a maximum number of people are searching for their own motivation outside them while their motivation exists inside them. The question arises that if the motivation exists inside us then why we cannot motivated? Why we need external sources to get motivation? This is true that people are searching for external sources to get motivation and it is necessary for the initial stage.
It is human nature that the emotional condition does not consistent forever, it changes with respect to time and space. Sometimes you would be more motivated and you would like to do more and extra work but sometimes you do not like to do even then your own work. You would feel bore and nothing is good for you. Just you want to take a rest but your conscience does not allow you to take rest. It will provoke you to do something but your ego will not allow what you want to do? Meanwhile, your mind will not help you to find the true and authentic solution. You start searching the external sources to relax your mind. This is the turning point of your mind! Meanwhile, you would consult such a person who is irresponsible then your mind will depressed more. Maybe he would guide you towards drugs, video games, and he could indulge you in useless talks. Your mind needs relaxation, therefore your mind accepts one of his offers. Since then you would start developing your new habits. Your mind becomes relax when you are starting a video game for example and your mind tells you to continue this game for a long time. You will not realize that it wastes your time but you will enjoy the game till your mind does not tired. You have laid such a foundation upon which you could not build a building. This foundation will not let you the desired building in your life. The only way to get out of this zone your need to reconstruct the foundation which you have laid before!
Always move forward with a plan according to your desire. Before getting bored and start finding the external sources of relaxation and motivation, you should be equipt with a great plan. During your life, you would face different situations and you have to face them in a better way. Consequently, you have to prepare for what you want to do in your life? Nobody is perfect in this perishable world but you should have a plan which would help you in your life journey, it would guide you and it would show you various ways. Every day before starting your work you should start according to your planning, when you would start working according to your plan then you would get motivation! No external medium required to get motivated because you have already installed the motivational software in your mind. When you feel bored and despair your planing will start working for your that during such bad movements what you should do? You have already planned. Your mind would lead you to do that thing instead of indulging in video games, taking drugs, and in useless talks.

Instead of watching everyday motivational videos, you should learn the planning and action plans. The videos will definitely give you a picture of motivation but it would not give you the motivation situationally and it will not give the motivation for a long time. It would give you the motivation when you are watching the video but later on, you cannot sustain the same level of motivation when you were watching the video. That is why watch a good motivational video or attend a good motivational lecture and then start searching for the element of motivation in yourself. You would find that element in you. This element exists in everyone but we are not searching for it inside us but we are searching for it in others, or in external sources.
The person from whom you getting inspiration and motivation is not being inspired or motivated by anyone else. He or she has got once inspiration and motivation from someone and then they have been searching the motivation inside them. They are making plannings, workings, and practicing every day according to their desired plan. In this way, they are getting inspiration and motivation from inside them and they are making other persons inspired and motivated. Just think about this point that how a motivational speaker gets motivation every day? He/ she is getting motivation from themselves. So, if they can get motivation from themselves then you can also get the motivation from yourself. Just you need to make a plan, an action plan, work according to your plan, practice making planning, and you will get motivation from yourself (Diagram-1). Otherwise, you would watch several motivational videos but you could not sustain your motivation.
Motivation is inside you!
