 Hey guys, David here again. In this video, the point I'm going to make is that motivation has nothing to do with success. Motivation has nothing to do with whether or not you're productive. Everyone's out there chasing motivation. How do I get motivated? Well I'm going to let you win in a secret. You're already motivated. Motivation is abundant and how do I know this? Well let me ask you right now. Your goal. That goal you're thinking about that's been with you for so long. The one that you really want to achieve. Well let me ask you flat out. Do you want to achieve that goal? On that bet you're saying yes. Absolutely. You're motivated. Isn't that true? Your motivation is there. Everybody is motivated. So motivation is not the issue. So stop trying to find motivation. What is the real issue? Okay you might say to yourself well that's not really what I mean. I just feel bad. I feel like I can't move towards it. Now that does not mean you're lacking motivation. Consciously you know that you want to have success in your goal. The motivation is fine. The problem comes with our thinking. Okay how are you thinking about this goal? Now if you think you have to go out there and find this mysterious thing called motivation. That's going to be a problem because you're chasing the wrong thing. What is the truth of it? In terms of a healthy way for you to go about achieving your goals successfully. Feeling good about yourself. Well really the feeling good about yourself thing is the most important part of this. So it's not motivation we're looking for. We're actually looking for self trust. That is the whole key. Forget motivation. Forget motivation. You need to find self trust. Do you trust yourself? So if I ask you the question do you trust yourself? So many people say well yeah I trust myself. I trust myself. Well let me ask you this then. If you tell yourself you're going to do something how sure are you you're going to do it? Now if you say anything less than 100% it means you need to work on yourself trust. Forget motivation. I need to trust myself. It should be 100%. If I say I'm going to do something consciously and I decide that that's the thing I need to do then we need to work towards that thing. But we need to be sure in ourselves that we're going to do it. So the problem we fall into is that we make a million promises or even worse than that actually is we make a promise and we break it and then immediately we make another promise. Okay that's a recipe for destroying yourself trust. I promise you this guys this is the issue I had for many many years in my own life and when you solve this problem when you realize I'm not after motivation I've already I already am motivated. There's nothing wrong with my motivation. It's I just need to develop self trust. When you get that sorted everything falls into place. You don't need to chase this mysterious mythical thing that everyone's looking for called motivation. Motivation has nothing to do with it. You'll find when you develop self trust that you're productive even when you feel great and when you don't feel so great because you realize there's something more important than that at stake. It's just a thing called self respect, self trust. That's what you're doing this for. So the problem we get into of course is making so many promises so many big promises unachievable promises promises we know when we're making them we know will never keep. Okay maybe that sounds familiar if you're watching this. So we need to move away from that tiny tiny promises until you develop unbelievable foundational core self trust and self respect. The thing I always say is you know if you make a promise to meet a friend at the coffee shop at 3 p.m. and you're not there you don't show up you know how does your friend what does your friend think of that well they're probably going to be disappointed they might say okay well look it just happened the once so they might reschedule with you for the next day but if it happened again and again and again sooner rather than later your friends going to be thinking there's no respect here they don't really like me they don't care about me that much but that's what we're doing to ourselves all the time with these continual broken promises this is what self respect and self self regard looks like self trust can I trust myself to do the things for myself that I know I can keep I can I can follow up on follow through on not motivation. Now motivation you'll notice the more you start to work on this self-trust thing which I'm imploring you to do in this video your motivation kind of goes up you get it you do get more kind of optimism you get more hopeful you get more yeah optimistic optimism comes back a lot of positive expectation builds because you begin to realize wow I'm I'm I'm like a lot more impressive maybe than I thought I was I'm like really really cool person you know I can do a lot I'm very effective that's what you'll start to believe and see in yourself so if you're watching this I'm just asking you to consider dropping motivation as your goal forget about it has it worked so far forget all these motivational videos that are out there on YouTube what are they trying to do in fact most of the time they just make you feel bad because you don't have this thing called motivation so work on self-trust take make one only make small achievable promises to yourself and really start to get conscious about how am I doing with these am I treating myself with the respect I would hopefully give to a friend that's how you do it if you do that I promise you your confidence will go through the roof it really will and you'll begin to realize wow the future for me is really really bright it's positive I can do what I want to do you already know what you want your motivations there let me know what you think in the comments below and if you want to watch more of these videos you can obviously subscribe and like this video and I'm so grateful for you for watching I hope this video is helpful I'll see you again soon bye for now
