The media and Lack of motivation

the story of an alien

there once was a alien who was sent to earth on a mission to collect information, what helped this alien to be unnoticed is that he looked exactly like humans, so it was like he is naturally disguised.

upon landing on earth our alien hid his space ship in a nearby cave so that no one could see it and then he went onto his mission. Since his mission was too long he started to get closer and closer to humans to the extent that he had many friends there.

After years the alien has developed a habit of hanging out everyday and of enjoying his time to the extent that he started to forget about his real mission. As the time passed he forgot more and more about his planet and about his mission, and one day while he was playing a soccer game with his earth friends the wind carried to him a piece of a torn newspaper.

When he took a look at the paper he was shocked, because there was a title at the paper saying that they discovered life similar to earth’s life on another planet. He suddenly remembered every thing and ran away towards his spaceship to report the information he has collected.

the media and the lack of motivation

So you may be wondering, what’s the point of this story?

Simply because this story points one of the main elements of motivation, which is keeping an eye on your mission and goals, because sometimes when the journey is too long you may forget why did you started it or to put it in another way, you loose motivation because you may have forgotten how will it feel if you achieved your goal.

create your own media

The solution to this problem is very easy, reminding yourself of your missions can be done using Media, not the media on the television or papers but your own media,
Your own media could be:

  • a list of goals that you daily read
  • a paper hanged beside your bed containing your mission statement
  • a desktop background that you use
  • the music that you hear
  • and even the videos that you see, you can create your own videos that reminds you of your goals using a software like windows movie maker
  • using subliminal messages software ( a software which produces messages that are displayed so fast on your computer screen that only your subconscious mind notices it
  • visualization is another very powerfull method, its free, fast and can be done anytime and anywhere

So whatever you see, hear or read can be your media, it can be what reminds you of your mission and it can be what makes you forget it, don’t get addicted to garbage that is everywhere around because it will brainwash your mind, it will make you forget why are you here and so you will loose motivation, you will be just like our alien friend who forgot his goals, and remember that he did only wake up from his sleep after a piece of media came across him accidentally, so don’t live at the mercy of other people’s media, Create your own media.
