This Harvard Psychiatrist Reveals the Secret to Unlock Infinite Motivation
And it is available to you RIGHT NOW!
Motivation comes and goes but this Harvard psychiatrist, , knows the secret to limitless motivation.
It isn’t a pill, it’s not more caffeine, and it is certainly not another self-help book.
He says, “The secret to having motivation is to be perpetually unmotivated to achieve a particular outcome.”
This doesn’t mean that to feel motivated you have to feel unmotivated. It means to stop moving towards a self-generated outcome. He uses the term unmotivated to mean detaching from the outcome of your actions. Detachment frees us to act however we wish in the present.
We are all motivated to do something. Perhaps, you are motivated towards some goal, but something more prescient stands in the way. This is a value judgement and our brains make them all the time.
When a goal is so far in the distance, we become demotivated when our actions aren’t bearing fruit in the short term. The bigger the gap between where you’re at and what you want to become, the less we are motivated to act. When you see tangible evidence of progress, motivation becomes effortless.
