Connect the Dots
Steve Jobs has never finished college.After studying in college for 6months,he couldn't see the value in it and dropped out.Not knowing where to go in life,he decided to take a class in calligraphy (书法).Ten years later,he designed something that has affected the different types of typography (排版) that we use today.If he hadn't dropped out in college,he would never have taken that calligraphy class,and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography.
Sometimes when you're trying to reach a goal,it's impossible to connect the dots where you currently are.Somehow you just have to trust yourself,and have faith that you will reach your dreams,despite not having the slightest clue or perfectly laid-out road to where you are going.Nobody can connect the dots looking forward; you only can connect them when you're looking backwards.You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future; you have to trust in something,whether it's destiny (天数,命运) or not,but trusting yourself is the first step towards feeling inspired and having the motivation to move forward.
Perfect Your Environment
Look around your room right now or your workspace.Does it inspire you?Does it give you motivation?Is it noisy or quiet?Sometimes the hardest thing we do to ourselves is try to force ourselves to work in an area that is subconsciously telling us,"I can't work here."
And when you are constantly trying to discipline yourself,you will feel worse and be less productive.Instead try to build your ideal workplace and ideal time.Perhaps add a piece of artwork or a quote of your favorite person nearby you on the wall.Maybe add a beautiful plant in the corner to give you inspiration.If you feel more energy and enthusiasm during the night,schedule your day to work at midnight if you can.If you can realize the power of having a productive environment,you will naturally feel inspired and motivated to get work done.
Don't Work So Hard
If you're trying to force your way into taking action,it could be a sign that you are working too hard.Most people won't wake up and waste an hour imagining,thinking further,or confirming,and the first thing they think about is asking"what do I need to do today?"And when they get the answer,they feel miserable,as if their work suddenly weighs them down.But if you spend time focusing on your goals,you'll receive good feelings-feelings that help you feel inspired and motivated to take real action.
Don't try to paddle upstream.That just basically equals saying to yourself that you need to force yourself to work hard every day.Instead,paddle along the stream of the river.Trust yourself,let your environment work in your favor,and spend some a little bit of time putting yourself in a state before you work.Inspiration will come to you from different ways-inside and outside-and give you the motivation to guide yourself towards reaching your dreams.
