Be careful of external motivation.
Of quotes from greats that went far. What they say is inspiring, yes.
But it’s theirs. It was their experience. It was their journey that you
will not replicate.
Because…. You. Are. Not. Them.
They didn’t sit around all day trying to come up of an inspirational quote.
The only reason they said it was because it came to them at the spur
of the moment. At an interview. Or they were asked to speak. And it’s
their understanding of it. But they never sat around trying to come up
with an inspirational quote.
It sounds good, yes. But it’s not yours.
And you can repeat a quote. Use it as your wallpaper. Write it in your notebook. Retweet it, tumblr it, Facebook it.
But it’s not yours.
And that message will lose all meaning once you’ve seen it enough.
It’s not yours. You just liked it when you heard it.
And that’s the problem with external motivation. Once the external source wears off, you lose your motivation.
It’s internal motivation that you need.
Carpe Diem!
You write quotes, with your inner fire!
