Motivate or Deteriorate..

One of the biggest problems I see everyday is the complete lack of motivation. Motivation to do work, to exercise, to finish a project and to sometimes just get out of bed in the morning..  It makes me think how did the human race actually get this far?

In ancient Greece their motivation was probably, "OK if we wake up now we can create a rad orgy by noon!".  In ancient Rome it must've been, "I can leave this guy to live or I can take him to fight the beast this afternoon. We can always do with some more entertainment!". And you can just imagine cave men "I can kill this cute T-Rex and be a hero AND provide for my clan! Two birds with one stone!".

Nowadays it's like "I'll just hire someone to fix that later," "I don't need to go to work tomorrow because they can still pay me for sick leave," and one of the best : "Who needs to pay attention in class? I'll just threaten a nerd to do it for me."

How does this generation get it so wrong? we eat too much or too little.. our super models motivate us to become allergic to fats of any kind.. our younger generations role models are teaching us to pose naked and lap dance gays for something we want! Children are motivated to follow their role models.. is this really what we want of our children..

I have drifted from my true purpose of this blog sesh and the story I wanted to tell you guys happened a few days ago:

A friend of mine was struggling to finish something because he was struggling too work with certain enemies and for some reason  I turned around and half yelled at him to be a baby..
If you think about it babies are the most determined creatures we'll probably ever come across. They are motivated by freedom, they wish to run and talk and just be.

Have you ever watched a baby try walk for the first few times, they fall, A LOT! but they also get up and try again and again and just imagine if we gave up after the first few falls. We'd be crawling around, never able to see the stars because we're too busy staring at dirt..

Next time you're feeling undetermined try thinking of your baby self, think "be the baby" because you ARE that same baby!

Untill next time, bye you big babies :}
