  • I remember back when I was in college, and I would come across a motivational video or

  • a talk.

  • I would get inspired, excited and energized.

  • I would feel like I am about to achieve my goals!

  • I get out and start hustling until I crush it, but that inspiration never lasted long.

  • The next morning, I would feel lazy and unmotivated again as usual.

  • I am sure that I am not the only one.

  • One day I remember, I was thinking about my life and I started imagining.

  • What If, for the last 5 years of life, I would have been productive every single day.

  • how my life would be today If I wasn't lazy even a single day.

  • I would have achieved most of my plans and my life would have looked completely different.

  • I promised myself that from today onwards, I will never be lazy again, that 5 years from

  • now, this is how I want my life to look like.

  • But unfortunately, I just couldn't stay motivated for long.

  • So, I spent the next few days analyzing myself, thinking, trying to figure, why exactly am

  • I lazy, why I can't stay motivated.

  • I know that it seems like an excuse just to avoid work but

  • I was thinking, If I am going to solve this problem, my life will turn upside down.

  • Believe or not, I have figured out a solution.

  • The reason I use to lose motivation so fast is that I focused too much on my goals.

  • I know that it sounds a bit controversial, but hear me out.

  • When you set a goal that's 3 or 5 years away, it seems like you have all the time

  • in the world to achieve it.

  • It gives you hope that one day you will achieve that and your life will be the way you imagine

  • it.

  • Here is how an average person thinks.

  • I am going to work hard, make a lot of money, create many sources of passive income and

  • then enjoy life.

  • But what happens usually is that.

  • Every time you achieve a certain milestone, You get disappointed, because, it's not what

  • you have expected.

  • So you are going to say, alright I will live my dream life when I achieve my next milestone.

  • It's like when you are in school, you eagerly wait to get to college so that you can start

  • parting and have your dream life.

  • But once you get to college, you are going to say, once I graduate, I will finally rest,

  • but we all know what happens next, life will get more difficult.

  • When you set up one business, you are going to say exactly the same, once I set up my

  • second business, I will have enough cash flow and so on.

  • The ironic part about is that, you might just not live till that day.

  • So, what's the solution!

  • Simple, live that great and inspiring life today! not tomorrow, not next year, not when

  • you graduate, but right now!

  • Why?!

  • Because you will die soon!

  • Death is exactly what makes life meaningful.

  • I know that some of you might say, that's absolute nonsense.

  • But just think about.

  • The fact that you have a limited amount of time on earth is the greatest motivation ever.

  • and what could be more inspiring than knowing that if you aren't going to live that amazing

  • life today, you might never have the chance again?

  • One of the greatest thing I have learned from Steve Jobs is.

  • Every single morning before I start my day.

  • I look at the mirror and tell myself, If today is the last day of my life, Do I really want

  • to spend it being lazy and procrastinate or I wanna get out and live my life to the best.

  • and that's what I keep in my mind for the rest of the day.

  • the challenges that you face on a daily basis are never going to vanish.

  • I guarantee you even if you become a billionaire, you are going to face those challenges.

  • So instead of running away from them, embrace them and make them part of your lifestyle.

  • And that's how you keep yourself motivated all the time!
