Motiviert bleiben, wenn man keine Lust hat

0:00I mean, there's a there's a couple angles on this. So, one is like, why do you require motivation in order to take action? Which is a first kind of line of questioning. Which if someone can say it's kind of like courage. Cuz the courage isn't, you know, action without fear. It's action despite fear. >> Despite fear, yeah. And so, I would say the equal opposite would be the same with motivation, which would be like, it's action despite feeling good about taking action. You just do it anyways. Um that's on kind of like the surface level. Underneath of that though, um the amount that someone is And instead of say like motivation is very I think the reason they answer this are so difficult is cuz no one has defined it. Need to define motivation, right? So, if I were to define it, I'd say the likelihood that someone takes a desired action. Okay? So, if we define if we use that as our as our as our proxy for it, then the likelihood of of someone taking a desired action is uh is correlated uh pretty closely with their deprivation around the desired outcome. And so, if you are incredibly hungry and you haven't eaten in 3 days, the likelihood that you are going to be motivated to eat is high. Now, if you've just eaten, the motivation is very low. And so, often times, you know, you would think, "Okay, well, if that's true, then wouldn't people who lack money be very motivated to get money?"

1:04>> Right, but not always the case. Right. And I think that's because money is not a non-physiological need. It's a psychological thing. And so, because of that, then it's how do you create deprivation around money? Which is different. And so, if you are the richest people the richest person of the five friends you have, but all five of you are broke, you might have very little deprivation around money. As soon as you get around people who make 10 times more than you, all of a sudden you're like, "Wow, I didn't even know we could live this way. I didn't know this was possible. Or I didn't know this level of achievement was something that I that was that was that anyone could really do. Maybe you I see it on Instagram. I see it on TV, but it's not something that like real people do. But when you meet those real people, you're like, you know, they're made of flesh and blood like me. Like, maybe I could maybe this could be possible. Um and then as soon as that that question of like this could be possible happens, then all of a sudden it's like boom, you stretch out what could happen versus where you are. And then that's what creates this rubber band um of motivation, which is why I mean, there was that famous Harvard study, which is, you know, you're the average of the your reference group. Who you compare yourself to. And so, I think that if you can choose to I mean, if you can choose to compare yourself to people who are doing significantly better than you, you will feel significantly worse. Yeah, I was going to say that doesn't always do well for your mental health. No, and I but to be fair though, I think we're talking about the science of achievement not the art of fulfillment. Yeah. And so, um feeling very bad about yourself, um there's plenty of people who have succeeded very well feeling bad about themselves. And this is me being an advocate of that. I'm just saying like these are these are these are components that that influence people doing what uh they need to.
