Someone Help Me To Get Rid Of These Motivational Books


"Motivation comes from within""Motivation is a state of mind""Motivation is half work done""Motivation is ............" Blah! Blah! Blah! What all thoughts are not pierced in the mind of those who do read it diligently. Well , from my own experience , its a matter of a few days. We get a Feel Good Factor from reading these books , we determine ourselves to follow each and every word written in it. But then , howsoever beautifully carved the words may be , the effect lasts for a few moments , and then disappear like flash of light during sunset. We make such great promises to ourselves , as if we can reach the summit of Mt. Everest if we can firmly believe. Back to reality , all those Feel Bad Factors , like that of laziness , fear , worry , jealousy creep up in our minds as if the books had no effect on us at all. We feel lazy of waking up for a morning walk , we fear of speaking confidently in public , we worry about our exam marks , and feel jealous of achievements of others. I hope if not always , somewhere some time we all must have felt it. We try to present ourselves to be as good as possible to others. We try to show them what we intend to be and not what we actually are. And these Motivational books encourage us to pretend to be what we intend to , that will make us happy , they 'declare'. I still do not understand why do we have to be someone which we are not . Why to make a false image of ours visible to others? Then Darwin's Theory Of Diversity will go invalid. Why should a person be 'theoritically' motivated , rather than being motivated from what is around him ?
Yeah .....we do keep on bragging the same phrase again and again that 'All men are not equal' , though quite unhesitatingly we keep on comparing our own achievements with others , trying to be the exact replica of someone , whose lifestyle we do not follow exactly , whose way of thinking cant be copied in any way. Its one's own way of thinking , his own motivation , which helps him chose his career , his soul mate , his achievements.
It might be sounding motivating too , but I am not writing this to motivate people. I just want people to understand that they should be happy with their life all the time , having in them the self-build motivation to help people when they need , to smile during a good joke , without thinking about whether the person is my friend or enemy , and not pointing on which person is saying but on what the person is saying. I have read a lot of motivational books , you can bet , and those who are fond of reading might have done as well. But what is the use of such books if you are not providing any help to a poor handicapped guy lying rotten on streets , thinking what might the world think of you or that you do not have the time for it. During an accident , a badly injured person is in need of help , many of the 'theoritically' motivated people will be standing there , thinking about why we must take that extra step of helping the injured one , though he might be bleeding , our clothes will get spoiled , while a poor guy comes to help him out to take him to the hospital . Just wonder who is poorer ? I think you know the answer.
Thats it. Its just my way of thinking and I am glad I have not copied it from anyone. Thats my motivation.
