Do people really need to be so motivated?

Most people will be motivated under four circumstances:

(1) If they have goals, for example, if they want to chase a girl they like, they will become very ambitious. Be motivated.

(2) If you are interested, for example: if you do a job that you like very much, you will be very motivated.

(3) Self-motivation is forced by the environment, for example: the family has no money to eat, and you have no choice. You must make money to support the family, and you will naturally become self-motivated.

To put it simply, lack of motivation is due to loss of motivation. You are not motivated now because you can't find your own goals, or because you can't find your interests, causing you to lose your goals in life, so you will feel that you are not motivated.

You didn’t explain your current situation clearly in your question. I don’t know in which aspect you are unmotivated. Is it because you are unmotivated in studying, or because you don’t know what you want to do in the future? Self-motivation, or you are working but don't have much ambition.

My answer is roughly divided into three situations:

(a) I don’t know what I will do in the future, I don’t know my goals, and I feel that I am an unmotivated person.

You may have reached an age where you have to think about the future, especially what do you want to do in the future and what are your goals in life?

If you don’t know what you want to do in the future, you can find out your own goal based on your interests. This goal is the goal of your life. First, what are your interests? If you don’t know what your interests are, ask yourself, what do you like to do in your free time? Or what do you definitely do in your free time? Take out a pen and write down your interests, such as: shopping, watching TV, traveling, clothes, jewelry, painting, reading, surfing the Internet, cooking, etc.

Then you list down all the industries related to your interests. For example: if you like drawing, write down painter, cartoonist, etc.; if you like clothes and jewelry, write down clerk, fashion designer. , jewelry designer, etc.; if you like traveling, you can write tour guide, photographer, etc.; if you like reading, you can write reporter, author, etc.; if you like surfing the Internet, you can write web designer, etc.; if you like playing, you can write For computer games, you can write computer game designer, etc.; if you like cooking, you can write chef, etc.

After you finish writing, you have to choose a career that you most want to do, and a career that you think you can do. After you have made your choice, think about whether the career you have chosen has many opportunities. For example, if you choose a photographer, you can be a wedding photographer, photographer, etc. The career options are good. After making the final decision, this career will be your goal and your motivation. You need to start planning to achieve your goals. For example, if you want to be a photographer, you should pay attention to where you can take photography classes, where you can learn photography techniques, etc.

When you have a goal, just move forward courageously. Don’t look back, don’t be half-hearted. If you encounter setbacks, keep working hard and persist to the end, and you will succeed. Remember: persistence is victory.

(b) Learning without self-motivation:

If you are studying but have no self-motivation, have lost the motivation to study, and don’t mind your grades at all, you have to Get back the motivation to read.

First, you need to find out your life goals. Ask yourself, what kind of life do you want to live in the future? What kind of career do you want? If you don’t know what you want to do in the future, you can refer to (a). If you need academic qualifications in the future, you must study well if you have a goal. In addition, if you can improve your interest in learning and make learning easier, you will pursue better results.

Reading is actually a kind of creativity. The method of reading alone is already a kind of knowledge, an experiment, and a process of getting to know yourself. In fact, it is not simple at all. Treat reading as a Scientific experiments, if they don’t succeed, try to find another way.

I have written down some creative reading methods here, you can refer to them to see if they suit you.

As long as you are satisfied with the present and live happily, that's enough. Don't force yourself too much, just let everything take its course!
