Real Truth about Motivation

I have read various articles about how to motivate yourself . They are all clueless.
People have laid bunch of guidelines ( sort of things )  to motivate themselves and to others. ( contradicting themselves - dream big , achieve smaller tasks, which itself becomes confusing. You all know , none of these work for longer periods . eg. suppose , you are not good at a subject , lets say science. Now , people will advise you to stay away from tv , sit in a quiet room , hold a pen and what not. Does that motivate you ? No .

The real motivation comes from within .  As , i told you in earlier post , when you start understanding a subject , suddenly your confidence rises and you start studying more or you do certain thing , you become better at it and you do it more. There is your answer.

 To get motivated , you need to do your work. Eg if you feel , you are not motivated to certain things like studying , sit down and think about which subject / topic , you don;t know ? Read it.
 Repeat this and watch your motivation , go high and high.

Rest all factors like family , positive thoughts , dreaming or others can only help. Real motivation comes from within.
