Motivation And Its True Face
Motivation and its true face
Motivation in training has always been easy to find. Many people make it so hard to be motivated. I find the many walls concerning motivation are always about testing us. They test us in so many different ways. We get up on some mornings and we think, YEAH I want to train! And other days, we are like, NAH I don’t want to. Motivation to train doesn’t always feel like the desire to, because sometimes the feeling to train is just a thought in our mind!
Motivation has many forms – it is sometimes a feeling, it is sometimes a positive energy, it is sometimes a very large thought in the mind, it is sometimes a very small thought in the mind – other times it comes from someone else when we are down, and other times it comes from the situation that is causing us pain. Motivation has many different faces and I don’t think many people understand this. When it comes to training, when you want to excel and get better, you use all forms to stay on track.
You use failure, success, hardship, the easy road, passion, and a hell of a bad day to keep you on track. It doesn’t matter what happens to you, when you truly desire this thing in question, you will do whatever it takes. No matter what you are feeling or what you are thinking, you will always do it. One of the easiest forms of motivation that keeps me going on a day to day basis is the love of what I do. When you love what you do, it doesn’t matter what this universe throws at you.
More often than not, when you lose, and it really hurts you, you may be upset for a short period of time but you are back on the horse in no time flat. True motivation is the love of what we do, and the more we realise that motivation has many faces, then the easier it is to stay motivated. The most important thing I think for people, if they wish to achieve something in fitness, health and life, is to understand that motivation is thought, feeling and the love of the thing in question – and is also found in every other circumstance that happens to occur.
