What is it like feeling empowered? If you want to know if you feel empowered, ask yourself three questions:
Can you do it?
Will it work?
Is it worth it?
If your answer is yes for all them, you feel empowered. This is based on research. One feels self-motivated, competent when they receive recognition for their hard work. We are controlled by our consequences, we think so much before doing what scares us that the fear starts to drive us. Believe that you have a choice of not doing it, it will make you feel relaxed and self-motivated. There is nothing that you can't do if you have made up your mind on it. You are the universe's most evolved and advanced species, there is no one smarter, more intelligent or ahead of you. There might be some difficulties in your way, but let me tell you, these difficulties make it worth so much. Because nothing having worthwhile, comes easy. Obstacles mean you're going the right way, you just have to keep on going in that direction, feel determined. The secret to be self-motivated lies in a simple thought, a belief that yes you can do it, there is no one who can do it better than you.
You are so right about how our beliefs affect our motivation. Good points!
