The Motivation Manifesto

The Motivation Manifesto explores how we can find purpose and meaningfulness in our lives by discovering our inner motivators and overcoming our fears, tapping into our inner power and living life fully and freely.

When it comes to life, we have choices to make every day. Whether they’re small, like what to eat and where to go, or big, like moving to a new place or taking a new job, they’re there, and they require action. However, many of us let fear take over and make those decisions for us. We become worried about what people will think, about failure, or many other factors.

Then, we get disappointed with our decisions and feel as if it’s too late to change them. In such situations, our freedom feels inhibited and we become frustrated. Without personal freedom, we can’t grow or develop as people. Therefore, the only way to live your dream life and gain personal freedom is to take charge of your life and overcome fear.

The other force that drives our growth is ambition. It is the fuel that makes us go further and farther in life, always looking to improve it. Without it, setting and achieving goals is impossible. To nurture it, we must always evaluate our circumstances and ask ourselves: “Is this truly what I want?” or “How does this help me in my path to freedom?”

Ambition drives our imagination to wander and create new, exciting scenarios and goals in our minds. Then, motivation comes in. However, this one is hard to maintain. To do that, you must set a routine and be disciplined about it. Although some days you won’t feel like getting up and doing the work, pushing through will be worth it in the long run, as you’ll become motivated once again when you notice yourself not giving up.

As we grow older, we learn more and more about the world, leaving behind old practices and upgrading our mindset. However, there are certain things in life that we should unlearn, or never let go of in the first place. What I mean by that is, you should reconnect with your inner child and remember how it feels to live in the moment. As children, our job was to explore the world and laugh as we did so. As we grow up, the task doesn’t change, it just becomes more challenging to fulfill, and so we lose our ability to keep our eyes on what’s most important – living our life. Some are clinging to their past. Maybe they had a few good years that they like to remember and replay in their head. Others immerse themselves in their ideal future and spend their days…
