I really thought motivation came from those external goals – success, recognition, financial security, or personal achievements for a very long time. I’d set some targets, push myself really hard to get them, and feel a temporary sense of accomplishment whenever I succeeded. However over time, I noticed quite a thing: that feeling never lasted for long. No matter how many objectives I accomplished, there would always be another one right there waiting, and eventually, the motivation that had driven me all along would really start to wane. I actually began questioning if I was missing out on something rather deeper – something far more meaningful than simply pursuing results.

That’s when I started looking into the concept of spirituality. Not in a very strict religious sense, but rather as a sense of connection to something greater than myself – a much deeper reason, a sense of purpose, or even an inner awareness that went way beyond daily annoyances. When I finally took the time to really think about it, I realized spirituality isn’t really about getting away from reality itself. It’s actually about understanding it a lot better. It really gave me a whole new view on motivation. Rather than relying entirely on external goals, I started linking my actions to a sense of purpose itself. That subtle change completely transformed everything. Motivation really became less about force and more about being aligned – aligned with values, with meaning, and with a much deeper comprehension of why I do what I do.
