How To Stay Self Motivated || Answers From Gautam Buddha

How can I stay motivated?

Buddha says there is no major difference between me and you. It's just a small difference that I'm awake and you're still asleep But one thing you should always remember that as much abilities as I had in waking up, the same potential is within you too. If you really want to know Buddha, it is not necessary that you fold your hands in front of him, it is important that you understand the depth of what he has said.

What causes lack of motivation?

The first topic is We set a goal in our life and we have a deep desire to achieve that goal and we give our best to achieve that goal, but in the end we fail. Why does this happen? The second question is ,if we are in a negative situation. Then how can we be positive. If you look carefully, the small incident of Buddha's life, you can find solutions to the big problems of your life. I will try to tell you the answers to both the questions from the incident of Buddha's life. Do you know what struggle we are engaged in our whole life? if we have more money, Have cars, a big house. Then we call it a successful life.

Our whole life is spent in the race to see how much we can collect . We struggle our whole life. Still we are not able to get as much money as we want but Gautam Buddha had all these things with birth because he was the only prince of a kingdom. But Buddha leaves all that and goes to the forest. The person who used to eat delicious food. He now eats begging. He who walks on flowers walks on thorns.

 Why do we get demotivated in life? We set our goals. Why can't we achieve it?

I want to ask you: When the Buddha gave up everything and went to the forest, would he never be disappointed to see his own sad life? We say it in very simple words. Buddha did penance for 7 years and attained the truth(enlightenment). Do you know what the meaning of 7 years is? It is very difficult to spend even a minute. We make  the small problems of our life in a big way, which is why we say we have set goals, but we get demotivated.

How did we always stay motivated? I want to ask you,  How did Buddha stay motivated all the time? Now the question that will be coming in your mind will be this. Oh he was special. He was god gifted.

The person who has attained the truth(enlightenment). from whom nothing is hidden anymore. One who has known everything. He is telling you that there is no difference between me and you. You are still holding on to the fact that he was something special. He was gifted. Don't know where this thing has been instilled in you? I want to tell you that Buddha, after doing penance for so many days, after getting knowledge from so many gurus(Monk), then he  attained the truth by himself.

How did a person who had never seen a forest live for 7 years in forest? What was the thing that kept him moving forward by becoming a motivation for him?

That one thing is lacking in your life. You also say that we set goals but we can't achieve them. I want to tell you what that thing is. What you hear in the videos or what you read in the books about Buddha is only a few percent of his life. The difficulties that Buddha has faced may not be imagined, so according to this, the most negative situation was in the life of Buddha and that too for a full 7 years, not just a couple of days.

 How do I stay positive?

Till he did not know himself, till he did not know the truth, he remained in a negative situation, you say. I have a negative situation in my life. How do I stay positive? I am telling you in very simple words. you don't have to be positive. All you need is the power that is working behind yourself that works behind every successful person.

All you need is the power that is working behind yourself that works behind every successful person. What is that power, I have divided that power into two parts.

What's the best thing for motivation?

The first is desire, which we can see as the first step, and the second is Reason. You must have seen In the forest the lion runs. There is a reason behind it. If he does not run then he will not get his prey and he will have to starve and on the other side a deer also runs in the forest. There is also a reason behind him that if he does not run, he will die. and will become the food of the lion.

What things motivate people to work?

I want to tell you Desire is the first step, reason is the ride that takes you to your destination. No matter how far your destination is. If the reason is big then your reason itself will take you to your Goal. There have been many successful people in the world. There is a big reason behind their success. If you read the life of some people, you will understand.

How A common man can become Gautam Buddha There was a big reason behind this too. There was a restlessness within him that made him feel empty even after having everything, and this emptiness helped him to become a Buddha. I want to tell you No matter what your goals in life, but if you want to achieve it, then there must be a big reason behind it, and you do not drink even water without any reason, then how will you touch that huge goal?

How to stay motivated with depression?

And the question remains. How to be positive in negative situations. If there is a will and have taken the first step and And there is also a big reason behind achieving that Goal. So I guarantee you that no negative situation can harm you. You took the first step of desire and the reason you have is so big. Now no one can stop you from reaching that destination. but if you have only desire then negative Situations can destroy you. But if you have a bigger reason? then believe me there is no negative situation that can destroy you if you have the reason that you can't live without doing it.

How do you keep yourself motivated?

And knowingly or unknowingly we create negative situations ourselves. We should also understand this. Back to the point so Desire is the first step and reason is your ride which will take you to your destination. Now no matter how far away your destination is. If your ride is huge. If your reason is big then you will reach your destination(Goal) 100%.
