5 types of people who can be an example for you
Motivation / / December 19, 2019
Typically, in an example of putting the characters, historical figures, athletes, coaches, researchers, academics and other prominent figures of science, art and business. But to find the motivation to continue the business, to find meaning in their lives for themselves, very often, all these examples are not suitable. What is the use to me with a marathon runner who won a fifth consecutive year in the marathon, if a 90% certainty I can say that he has never run a marathon? As trust victories of athletes, if the legend of cycling for almost 10 years deceiving the public and has made all of its cups and medals against doping? Instead of looking for inspiration in the people with whom you've probably never meet (and whose life is often a feat can not be repeated because of the different levels of preparation and differences in the circumstances of life), I decided to watch the people who live near each one of us. After all, they can become a source of motivation and wisdom of life.
Least 5 types of people that surround us
Can touch up on the conclusions and become a primary motivation for changing our life style, to change something in our perception of the world:Elderly people
Elderly is considered to be eternally grumpy and unhappy. But have you noticed how they keep a lot of memories and life experience in the details, which we now do not pay attention? As long as they are alive and grumble, we try to listen to their dissatisfaction with the smaller; when they will not, we will immediately note any homemade recipes, stories from the past of his family, memories their youth, our parents, our roots and traditions, we did not have time to ask them, to find out remember. Like that I noticed on my own experience, when you do not become grandparents, and now a few years later, I often catch myself thinking, that many did not have time. Many elderly people - a very good storyteller and very intelligent people. Under mock grumpy and discontent, which was caused by experienced life's challenges, may be hiding very interesting people who have lived in the world is much bigger than you. Our youth and arrogance does not give us notice of this, we are used to treat older generation of skeptical and superficial, being covered with an eternal lack of time and "modern outlook" the world. But the moment will come when the most senior in the world will become ourselves - what if we tell their children and grandchildren, if you do not have time to learn from those who came before us?
Representatives of non-prestigious jobs
Do you think that your work - "the worst in the world", because the chief made a third time to rewrite an annual report or stay at work late? How about a janitor who sweeps every day of your yard and the streets around the house at 6 in the morning, while you sleep more sweet ( "because "Creative class" has the right to come into the office for ten "- somewhere so you justify the fact that wake up much later alarm)? Look around. Every day, until you open the laptop and make yourself comfortable in a chair, someone goes down into the mine, the receptionist emergency hospital medical teams trying to pump another failed suicide, social workers help the grandmothers with disabilities to get to the shower... In the news reports and statistical reports of these people are called "non-prestigious representatives / workers professions. " Their work does not relieve inspirational movies, do not write best-selling books or discussion posts on popular blogs. Every day, these people do their job, not pretending that they perform a feat or are "unrecognized geniuses." And we are all directly or indirectly use the results of their work. Why is being an office employee or an independent contractor, we so often expect that we will fall for some exorbitant recognition, honors, awards? Noah why we can not wake up / sleep quietly, constantly nervous and hurt over the fact that "our superiors us values, "when we have a job that is physically and mentally much easier and simpler than the hundreds of thousands of our compatriots? Do not argue, poor work is not worth a lot of money, head-tyrant is not worth very angelic patience, time spent on it. But maybe, in 80% of cases, we still tend to make mountains out of molehills?
Small children
Who are able to enjoy even the little things, and resentment forgive even the most intimate and trusted people? Who certainly know how to enjoy every moment and live in the present day, not a burden themselves a list of plans and ambitious objectives for the year ahead (half of which will not be executed, because it is - "the jump above the head")? No, this is not the Tibetan monks and Western success coaches. These are kids. Conventional small children of your own or your family, your nephews or godchildren. They do not live in the future and plans, they live in the present. They are able to know the different facets of reality and ask ourselves and others honest questions. They did not play the hypocrite and do not put material values (money, machinery, office) above simple human qualities. How long have you happy simply to the fact that today the weather is good, that the dinner was delicious, you learned today something new? How long have you got acquainted with someone just because you showed this man interesting (and not because of his position and connections can be useful to you)?
Your relatives
We underestimate the emotional nourishment from their parents, from their families, from the loved ones of those who accept us unconditionally. They do not care whether you pass the time schedule, the high position you have, whether large salary. Yes, they can sometimes reproach you, and "educate", but at the critical moment of your life, when it becomes really hard and show that all the bridges burned and everything collapsed around you - consciously or unconsciously - refer to them, and they will listen to you, help you or if you can just say that everything will be OK. words of encouragement, which we often used to looking at colleagues, his superiors have political or religious leaders, always in the most difficult moment was there for our loved ones. Remember about it, and so be ready to be in such an embodiment of the moral, spiritual and emotional support. For this we need a lot less than we think.
People with whom you sympathize
It could be your girlfriend or boyfriend, it can be your mentor / predodavatel / your head / your business partner. Sympathy, these may be based not necessarily on any feelings or affections, but also on respect, on the recognition of the moral, ethical, business authority. It may be well-known personalities or completely unknown, but familiar to you. Those whose example, whose behavior, whose demeanor, whose views you clearer, closer and more in tune with than the slogans of politicians, churchmen dogma or "chants" fan club sports teams. There is always a person who in your life has a huge impact on you, change your demeanor, your views, your core values. If you have not found such a person, just look closely. In your environment probably is the one with whom you can not help taking an example. He or she may become a much more powerful motivator in your life than the famous "guru".
Who inspires you the fact, to make changes in your life?
