Never be satisfied
Hey guys,
I've been watching some motivational videos lately and I found this idea helpful to my drive.
People in our world as so often complacent in their circumstances due to this notion you need to be 'happy with yourself'. 'Be yourself' and all that nonsense. Which is fine, but for us, 'be yourself' has to include 'have the drive to do what you need to get to where you want to be'. However this often isn't included in the paradigm of that phrase and leads to lack of motivation since people are usually lazy and therefore lack of motivation is just them being themselves.
So in order to want more you need to be unsatisfied with who you are. It is this same self-esteem movement which has been shown not to work. Telling fat women they're beautiful so they don't strive to become healthier. You need to realise you can have more, you can want more and nobody has the right to tell you otherwise.
Most people are unhappy with who they are, but they'll rather try to make themselves happy with who they are, rather than change who they are to make themselves happy. That distinction of decision is what separates average people from successful people in my opinion.
