Be motivated: 15 points to motivate yourself! ( part 4)

My dear friend, how is your day today? Do you use the 15 points of motivation to motivate your life? We hope that you have happy and well life. I had explained 6 points of motivation in detail in my previous article. Now I am continue to share the next 3 points.


7. Transform
PAIN into WISDOM.



" Everything happens for a good reason." We should not always complaint, angry and sad that what had happen to us. However, we should be thankful to our hindrances and challenges in life. Why? The problem that we faced always teach us a valuable lesson. There was a story about a scientist named Thomas Edison, he failed so many times when he was tried to invent the light bulb. Even though he failed so many times, he never gave up. What is the factor that motivate him to continue his invention? He said " At least i know what is the wrong methods to do the light bulb. If i had failed 999 times, that mean i knew 999 wrong methods to make the light. So, i will use other methods to invent the light bulb." We should learn from the scientist Thomas Edison. He never gave up because of the failure, if he gave up that time, we will not have light in this life. May be we still using candle and oil lamp. Scientist Edison was a ordinary people, so do us also can be like him.

We must learn to treat every obstacles in life as a valuable lesson. We learn from the lesson and do not make the same mistake again. This can improve ourselves too. " The challenge and the obstacle is our teacher. " So, we should transform the PAIN into WISDOM!



8. Life in uncertain, DEATH is certain.



" Everything is impermanence."Our life is uncertain and unpredictable. However, DEATH is certain and it will happen to everyone. No one can escape from it. We cannot predict when the DEATH will come to us. It is good that we will reflect on death occasionally because our duration of lifespan is uncertain. We will not know when we will die. May be few years, few days of tomorrow. Sorry to say that I am not purposely to scare all of you. However, it is truth that DEATH is certain. So, why don't we reflect on it. If we always reflect on death, we will find out that a lot of problem and dissatisfaction in our life are relatively unimportant. For example, will you still going to quarrel with your family/ friends if you only left 2 months to live? Most of us would not do that, on the other hand, we will forgive those who hurt us and ask for forgiveness with person that we had hurt before.


So, start from now, we should not easily get irritated with a small problem in life. We shall treat this is the first and the last time we deal with the problem. Learn from the mistake in a positive attitudes.

" Live everyday as though it is your last and only day." Then we will appreciate everything and care the people that around us now. Live on the present moment!



9. None is free from BLAME.



It is true that none of us is free from BLAME. Moreover, we also cannot please everyone in the world. We also cannot expect everyone to like us because it will not happen. So, we should not be sad when we were blame by others. We must be open minded when people blame us. If we really did something wrong causing people to blame us. Then we learn from the mistake and improve ourselves. If people blame without a reasonable reason. We can just ignore it or try to explain it to the person. Sometimes it is good that we know people blame us, we can learn from it and improve ourselves. Then we can become a better person.




We still have 6 points to discuss. So, use this 3 points to motivate yourself and bright your day up. Be motivated, don't give up.
