I get my motivation by imagining myself being 70 years old. Regretting all the things you’ve done in your life and regretting your laziness is the scariest thing in the world to me. So make sure when you are 70 years old and look back on your life, that you can be happy with your choices, and that you know you always did everything you could to make your life better.
I do the same just not at 70 but when I'm about to die, then I read your comment and I did it, at 70, and it was different, more urgent, then I tried at 60, different too. That's interesting. But then I thought "what would a 60 y/o me say to current 34 y/o me?" well, what would 34yo me say to 20yo me, right now, and the answer was this: "I know how difficult those times were, and you always tried to do your best and follow your heart. I have no regrets, neither of what you did nor what you didn't do, and daaaamn I have good memories now" Maybe the only thing that I regret are some bad decisions I took due to my lack of experience, like allowing toxic people to be close for too long. But I don't think we are so hard on judging our own past as a collection of goals and missed oportunities. Maybe motivation is our inner wisdom showing us the true path of our heart, while we keep filling our head with these willpower based success obsession. Today, more than the retrospective view, what I do is try to clear mi mind and heart, as blank as I can, and think and feel: what is the thing that I want to do the most, if I can take any road I want in life right now, what is it. And that is not a chase of goals for the future, but a deeper connection with myself.
I am doing ted-talks summaries, I will upload them in the comment section as a means of sharing it so that maybe one of you will find it useful. It is a personal summary and this is how I wanted to summarize it for myself, so feedback is welcomed, but I won´t be correcting the summary or any such matter. I hope this is useful to someone, and I apologize if the vocabulary, syntaxis or grammar is off, English is not my native tongue. At the core of everything we do, we always involve three components of ourselves: Head, Heart, and Hand. Head is the importance or rational thinking you associate with the task, to find if you have your head in a task you may ask questions such as: Is this important to me? What will I obtain? etc. Heart is the emotions that come into play on a given task, it is associated with pleasure or fun, something you enjoy, to find if you have your heart in a task you mas ask questions such as: Do I enjoy this? Will I enjoy the end result much more than the pain? How does this make me feel? etc. Hand is the abilities or skills you have that come into play on the given task, to find if you have hand you must analyze truthfully your performance and any other indicators. To artificially induce either head or heart, you must use willpower, but this is a limited resource and an ineffective tool to have as your reliability on a task. -To naturally induce heart, you may use techniques such as visualization, or adapting the task to something more enjoyable, etc. -To naturally induce head, you may use techniques such as goal setting, asking meaningful questions, etc. -To naturally induce hand, you must acquire the skills necessary for the task by learning, practicing, and any other educational tool, but inducing hand is in itself another task in which you will have to analyze once again if you have the head, heart, and hand to acquire the skill, aka the task. The convergence of head, heart, and hand is called flow and it is a state in which you will exceed and in which many successful people live day to day in their most important tasks.
Stronger the willpower easier the job With willpower there is no need to sob With willpower don't end up like a slob Don't let the power make you into a snob Takes willpower to be with a heart throb
Great talk.. but in my opinion.. we have at least another 2 additional components that motivates us.. 1. Soul component: i call it God, some of u wont agree but i think there's someone out there who takes care of you and how you react.. 2. Social component: this is our interaction with others, our family, neighbors, our environment.. with a proper social skills, we can let them motivate us or vice versa.. So.. take care of our souls.. it can be trained.. for me, i pray.. and read scriptures.. and fast.. for some who dont believe in God they can meditate.. And take care of others, ur family, ur wife, ur friends, those around you.. make them happy.. contribute to the community.. whatever you do to them plays a huge role in motivating your own self.. With all this in balance, then we will go to the true state of Flow..
I don't look to be motivated or be in the right mood to be successful. I push myself regardless of not feeling like it. You're never gonna feel like doing anything thus you must push yourself to do the things you don't like. Psuh yourself even if you're in pain and hurting or if you're in a stressful situation.
The heart is an organ in our body that does one thing: it pumps blood. It does not think or feel. It pumps blood and that’s it. It does not love or hate. It pumps blood and that’s it. Many years ago scientists wrongly believed that the heart did more. They noticed that when we were excited, the heart pumped more. They concluded that the heart was the driving force because they knew little of what the brain was responsible for at that time. They observed that when we are feeling strongly emotional towards another person, our heart pumped harder. Again, they wrongly attributed this emotion to the heart and not the brain. All the heart does is pump blood. Society has wrongly held on to this concept and we can thank science for that. Researchers such as this person continue to perpetuate this wrong concept. We now know the heart’s only function is to pump blood. To say that our heart counteracts our brain is totally wrong. Our heart responds to what our brain is telling it. That’s it. It has no say in how we feel or behave. I’d like to hear scientists stop claiming that our heart thinks or does more than pump blood. Maybe then people will stop saying it and this wrong notion will be erased from society’s speech. My 2 cents.

jordy van de ven wow I tried to think of it for a single second. Pumped my day up ! What a way !
But what happens if you blamed it on others not you you get what am I saying?
You are Pretty but blaming it on the others can’t change what have happened If somebody obstruct or distract u Try to tackle that

When you are 70 years old you still need to make decisions. It's all relative!!

Totally got the wrong answer for 'what do you think when you hear "head" '
yum yum 😂
Also "Heart" and "Head and Heart", I guess i am a weirdo.
I instantly thought raunchy lmao
This is one of the best I've ever seen! ✌️ no BS or arrogance just facts and goodness :)
A good balance between the "Head & Heart" leads to a well balanced life guided by a strong Spiritual Belief System!
That voice, that hair, the outfit, and of course, the great talk! Thank you, Hugo Kehr!

Damn, this guy dresses well and with soothing voice. I bet he does audio books or voices in video games on the side
I would ask to eliminate "Hate "
"This goes back to 'Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi'" lol. He sounded just like Klaus from How I met your mother
He is Q from bond films, in the future
Summary: if you are not motivated, find new motivations. I just saved 17mn of your existence.
I love his outfit btw 🔥
Great voice and style

Nice talk Dr.kehr👍🏻 I just have a question that whether these three facets change with time and if they do what can be done?
Wow, IDubzzz is a real intellectual

So Your Place Came With A Kitchen Does the brain fall in love 😍 or the ❤️ fall in love 😍 with someone according to your theory?!
"What do you associate with the term, head?" 😂😂😂
