Reasons that kill our Zeal and Enthusiasm

Is our life being towed by the surrounding situation? Are we living a demotivated life?

In youth life, zeal and enthusiasm is like a breath, you cannot survive without breathing. Motivation is like the wings of a bird without which one cannot fly. One has to learn the art to keep the self in high spirit. One should know the reasons that bring us down.

Following are the points that bring us down, that kill our zeal and enthusiasm.

1. Absence of attentiveness: The soldiers at the border are always attentive and alert in every manner. They may be attacked from any direction, but they are well prepared and well trained. The same way, if we are not attentive and alert, negative thoughts, acts and deeds can destroy our zeal and enthusiasm. Let us protect the self
with positive thoughts, good wishes and good acts.

2. Comparing the self with others: One should not compare oneself with others. Everyone is unique.
Everyone DNA, thumb impression is different. Let us appreciate, admire and acknowledge uniqueness in the self & others. I am unique, no-one can play a better role than myself in my area of expertise.

3. Questioning: Why bad things happen to me, why my role in this world drama is not good. Most of
the time we are not happy with what we have and what we do. We keep on questioning things around us. Most of them are beyond our control.

For example: the ice fall in Kashmir, which resulted in chilled temperature at my place.

4. Worry & Fear: Fear and worry are seeds that
destroys zeal and enthusiasm. No failure is
defeat. One should not fear or worry from failures, learn the lesson from it and move ahead.

5. Low self-esteem: I am not capable of doing things. Inferiority Complex and low self-confidence
demotivate us, dampen our spirit and energy.

6. Carrying the past: We are carrying forward our past. We should delete or remove from our memories the things which were not in tune with
us. Learn to forgive and forget the self for some misdeeds and mistake, and move forward.
Not only one should keep zeal and enthusiasm, but also learn on how to bring others in that. We always love
people who motivates us. So, let us play the role of a motivator, encourager and inspirer. There is acute shortage of such personality.

Let us develop this good
quality to infuse passion and motivation in others.
