I have to look at the end result. Why do I want to take on this challenge? What do I gain from it? Even if it's as simple as wanting to know a new skill just for leisurely purposes, that alone is enough to motivate me. I don't like to hype up the new challenge as if it's the greatest thing I'll ever see in my life. Instead I like to hype myself up knowing I can achieve this challenge. I find this works more efficiently because I am re-directing that focus to myself, and I am telling myself that I can do it.

Sir... There is no words to say thank u to u. I don't know u may read this comment or not... But just by reading ur book.. "The laws of human nature " I hv figured out a lot about my own patterns and bad decision and i hv get out of a completely obsessive relationship.... Thank u very much for giving this world ur amazing books..
I really thank you sir , because I came across your book 48 laws of power and since through that I started watching you on yt . The book and your knowledge has really helped me in learning the harsh reality that the society conceal it from us.....! ❤ ❤️👏
Soon im gonna start my journey as a Pastry chef , what a great timing for this vid to show up in the YT suggestions, because i actually decided to be a chef because of you , words can’t describe how im thankful to you , i read all of your best selling (6 books) , they are in my mind every day and every moment
I'm having the opportunity to put into practice some of your teachings Robert at work and at first I was weary but I can confirm they work, they are bullet proof 😅😊 Thank you Robert, you have become my master and mentor almost my best friend ❤
Work is monotonous but I have a workout routine beforehand. 5 days a week same deal but I'm fortunate enough to use that time to learn and discover new things with headphones in my ear. I have weekends off so I use that time for my edits, music, and pro wrestling journey. If you have something to strive for, it keeps you motivated. Next goal is a PC.
This is a struggle. I've lost contact with family, friends, etc. and it's been such a long time since I've done anything that's made me happy or excites me. I need a journal for this, I suppose.
In what areas specifically are you having trouble? Adapting your perspective to take in interesting information while in a mundane environment or seeking an emotionally fulfilling career? Losing friends and family is really hard. I can relate to a degree. Look out for the smallest of things that bring just a little bit of joy into your life. Then trace those to what the career/job opportunities would be. Then take it one step at a time. I, for instance, was always really interested in how people think, and would generally find myself drawn to deep conversations without my direct intention. Then one day I realized I'm interested in psychology. I went on my computer and took 15 minutes to apply for classes. One step at a time.
This resonated with me deeply. I have seen other advice that is based on dopamine detox, and offering yourself rewards, and none of that spoke to me like this. I look forward to thinking about this idea and seeing how it can apply to all the things I need to accomplish.
Muchas gracias! I just started learning a new language, Spanish. Robert Greene, you are a life force, an impetus. Your advice have been on point through the years. I have learned a lot, and I mean A LOT, from your books. Your desire to help people shows on your face while you speak and you're no common motivational speaker or writer. You are on your own different league. Your books have their own genre. And, most importantly, you've mentored one man into living life to the fullest_ me. Thank you for being cool. Thank you for being giving. Buenos Dias!
I genuinely love you!!! I wish I could meet you!!!! You are a huge book of knowledge, thank you for sharing!!! My heart space is happy when I watch your videos!!!!!
Thanks for your every single truth and help and effort...u have changed lives.... congratulations my professor....u r best teacher I Love you Robert I want to kiss your hand which writes the secrets to turn fools to smart
When Robert said find something to be excited about it reminded me of Dale's Carnegie when he said, where your interests are, there your energy is also. Take a moment to reflect on that. If you're not interested, you will feel bored and tired.
I found that career Robert and worked very hard at something I love...now I feel exhausted and burned out and like I can't go on. Can you please do a video about empathy and empathic burn-out from working in a job trying to change the world for the better.
FRAMING and PACKAGING can help, too, Robert. Videos on TH-cam attract interest, because they are framed nicely. By trial and error, maybe we can get more MOTIVATED, with more EASE. ========================================================== TNX
Hi 👋 I already read the power 48 laws and i I broke up with me girlfriend (5 mouths ago ) and I feel lost , I don have motivation for anything.. Any good advice to read , any book from Mr.Robert Greene?
Hey RG - big fan of the channel even if I disagree with a few of your observations Could you have a guest on who is prepared to discuss the entertainment media (such as Drake and Jay-Z) who is supported by government intelligence agencies and the justification of using a technology called v2k on citizens ignoring all privacy and human rights laws whilst facilitating their profit and propogandising and weaponising their self-imposed authority? For example - why is a bookmaker allowed to influence the brain of their customers? Isn't that quite dangerous? The question is - to what extent can a commercial company influence the public? Should they be allowed access to someone's physiology and brain wiring?
I used to be excited about new things but nothing ever works out. I've been so beat down by things not working out that I just don't feel excited about anything anymore. I'm not even excited about writing and potentially selling the novel I'm working on. Nothing is working.
A man in my head motivates me 🤣. But not in my life muahaha, I really like my space, being alone... . But having a man on my mind actually motivates me 😻, they are beautiful, but if I have them too close they are also annoying 🌝🤣. Knowledge motivates me. I always observe and analyze everything and everyone around me, and myself. I learn from everything. But I have a defect, I also get distracted easily 🌝
The valley of despair kept me from writing for a good couple years. Or rather writing and publishing. Now I'm back, writing a lot of crap, but there's a little bit of chicken salad per pound of chicken shit
Spite. Prove everyone wrong about you , because eff them anyways. Someone told you that you cannot do something or that your idea sucks? Do it and exceed expectations.
@@chelseabunker2391 my anger without control would kill people so i want to block it and make it my motivation to overcome sadness and madness and improve myself
Give yourself some credit for trying so hard. As Winston Churchill said, 'Never give in... Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.'
@@rozitaqtb Another Churchill quote: "When you're going through hell, keep going." Easy to preach, hard to practice but worth remembering when the going gets tough. Because it's always tough. Good luck.
Motivation isn’t real. You create motivation by doing hard stuff when you don’t want to. You don’t need to be confident, passionate, or have a sense of direction. It’s all bs. Just do the work.
There's no such thing as motivation. Nothing but fleeting and temporary feel good for the moment bullshit. Want motivation? Cut the shit (excuses) and look at your current skill level in whatever as realistically as possible. When you realize it's all up to you to get and achieve what you want in life and that no one can get it for you or wants to or has to and that if you allow yourself to procrastinate all the time and get no results wondering why you are not moving forward with what you love then you'll find your motivation. George Benson turned his guitar into a cigar and now he is George Benson. Same thing with Jimi Hendrix - he couldn't stop playing and couldn't put the guitar away. He didn't need no motivation although he had motives for such an addictive behaviour. Set up a daily routine and do it regardless of how you feel. Then you'll know who the problem is.
Forcing will get you psychological Ill at some point, motivation is very real and can be long term and can be the thing creating new healthy routines that you stick to. Not the other way around, no one can create something for themselves that they haven't seen, felt or imagined through adventure and inspiration, which are the precursors to excitement and motivation. I wish you a healthy life.
@bluemartin Then I have found motivation LOL Thank you sir I hope you have a great, happy and secure life and crush your goals whatever they may be :D All we are as Aristoteles said more than 2000 years ago is nothing but habit and what is habit but nothing short of repetition. Knowing this, we either engage in behaviour that further us away from our goals or completely stalls us or we move forward and towards our goals. My goal is not to become the greatest bass player ever in the entire universe because I'm not arrogant but I do want to strive to be the best possible version of myself that I can possibly be at bass guitar. Also I don't like competition/comparison although I do understand it to be healthy to a certain degree of measurement. Confidence is when you are getting better at whatever you set out to be and arrogance is when you are better than. Sorry I'm straying off topic but it all ties into motivation. SELF-confidence has everything to do with you and arrogance has everything to do with others because in your mind you are already "number one" and all that is left is nothing but resentment and jealousy towards others who you deem as rivals or close by competitors or higher rank than you. What I'm getting at is this quote: Find what you love to do (not necessarily what you were "meant" to do) and let it kill you. Then you can throw motivation out the window :D Just like George Benson or Jimi Hendrix smoked that guitar like a crack pipe daily they couldn't stop playing/practicing :D I want that too with the bass guitar :D
I don't see a difference in what you describe to what I see as motivation, motivation does not have to be an initial endeavor, excitement might be. But then a lot of other feelings take over to embrace and continue the motivation into being surrounded with routines. When the feelings are hopelessness and routines without goal, adventure is the change.
How do you get motivated to take on a new challenge? ⬇
Lots of caffeine and taking on an altered state of consciousness xD
I have to look at the end result. Why do I want to take on this challenge? What do I gain from it? Even if it's as simple as wanting to know a new skill just for leisurely purposes, that alone is enough to motivate me. I don't like to hype up the new challenge as if it's the greatest thing I'll ever see in my life. Instead I like to hype myself up knowing I can achieve this challenge.

I left where I was not motivated to stay at anymore. It's like sweeping the mess while it keeps piling up.
Biggest issue is doubt and uncertainty, as well as awareness in what I'm doing.

Never waste valuable time or mental peace of mind on the affairs of others-
that is to high a price to pay

What if nothing excites me anymore?
Get anti-depressants
You need an antidepressant, my friend.
I've learned from 4 years in my career that there really isn't anything about it that excites me! Time to move on...
thank you :)
I also do this whenever I can. The problem is that chores don't excite me 😂
Great advice
