Talent and aptitude are pre-requisites for origination,
which is remarkably vital in today’s world. While these seem to be abstract
concepts, they do command specific instruction and inculcation techniques. On
the other hand, creative nuances seem to thrive and necessitate inspirational
motivation. Inspiration is indeed set prior to consciousness. Practice and implementation
of a skill may occur independent of it, and inspiration without talent may also
be insufficient to warrant novel creations. Inspiration continues to be
intriguing, an enigmatic and abstract concept; nonetheless it can qualify as a
mandate for triumph.
The path to most goals is non- trivial; inspiration is a
driver to positive action that convinces one of the worthiness of the light at
the end of the tunnel. Everyone can see the light but it doesn't motivate each
one analogously. The psyche modifies responses to diverse stimuli and
formulates specific thresholds that conclude in either action or inertia. These
are absolutely personal and do not have structured explicable correlations.
- Some children are unmotivated for better grades
- A lot of people are comfortable being overweight
- Some marriages subsist despite their barrenness
- People continue to hold jobs they entirely detest
- Most people have more acquaintances less friends
Motivation
Motivation is occasionally synonymized with inspiration. It
is pronounced as the driving factor that pushes one towards a goal. One may get
propelled towards a certain target owing to an innate desire to excel and lay one’s
mark, or the sheer attractiveness of the reward that is frequently associated
with it. We get motivated to do the things we like, things that give us pleasure;
acts that make us feel good, and deeds that prevent pain, accentuating
happiness and pleasure. While motivation may be driven by material rewards
(rightfully so) inspiration is usually abstract. Inspiration drives one from within, to excel
not for a reward, but the desire to master the action for the sake of self-growth.
Ideal and Idol
Ideals are moral values, principles and ethical constructs
that offer impetus to willful action. They originate from within. An idol is a
form of an ideal that is frequently held as an example to follow. They both
represent intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. What matters is the existence of
one or the other to drive oneself through the storm. Nobody is flawless, not
us, not our seemingly perfect idols either. Knowing this truth is helpful in
keeping faith, knowing that the world is beautiful in spite of its shortcomings
and most goals we set out to achieve are worth the effort that goes into
accomplishing them.
Refuel yourself
External drivers may fade, your idol may collapse (to err is
human) and the world changes its ideals ever so often. You settle for lesser
standards because some goals seem to not be accomplishable no matter how hard
you try (so you feel). Be your own inspiration, build that inner desire to
excel and lay your mark, your will to change the world around you, your
earnestness to put in your best irrespective of what it brings you in return. Inspiration
is part of your persona. It is your personality. You are the vehicle and its sole operator. Galvanize yourself to
purposeful action; you are the only fuelling station available, so don't miss
the chance. Be the light you want to shine on the world. You will never then be in the dark...
