I know many of you will disagree with this. But I believe self-motivation can do the magic, nothing else. And when it comes to encouraging ourselves, motivate and push to do better, most importantly pass the had time to see the light; we are the only friend we got.
It may sound really selfish. I'm not saying we have to give up on everyone and everything else because no one will be there for us when we need them. It's not true. There will be friends, family, people you love, people who care about yourself, your loved one; many.
But what I'm trying to say is, if you don't feel the urge within; you can't do better in life nor anyone can motivate you to do so.
It's true, people around us motivate us, inspire us, show us the right path, guide us, and whatnot. But until you realize you have to sparkle the fire in yourself, you can't start rolling.
That's why I always talk about befriending ourselves, making a strong connection with our inner self. At the end of the day, we are all alone. There are some empty spaces inside all of us, which can't be filled with anything. I believe, if we ourselves produce the courage, strength then it can be possible to feel less empty.
Always say to yourself, 'you got this'. Even if people are there to support you, rely on yourself and make yourself that string so you still can roll on without anyone's support. It's not only about financial help or mental support but it could be anything. Always make a path, an alternative so you can roll on into life.
Think and act this way. I hope it will help you!
