In this motivational monologue, the speaker claims that most people (about nine out of ten) suffer from a lack of motivation because they are trapped by limiting beliefs such as fear of looking bad, fear of failure, and a desire to avoid pain. He argues that waiting for motivation is ineffective; instead, one should act despite the absence of motivation. To illustrate this, he uses the example of a baby learning to walk. A baby does not entertain self‑critical thoughts like “I don’t want to fall” or “I don’t want to look bad.” Instead, the infant is fully committed, persistent, and willing to endure pain and repeated failure until it succeeds, which brings pure joy. The speaker urges listeners to recall that childlike mindset, discard the limiting statements that adults repeat, and apply total commitment and persistence to personal and professional challenges. By doing so, one can overcome obstacles, experience the joy of achievement, and regain confidence.
Chapters
Almost nine out of ten people are suffering from lack of motivation. People often seek for confidence. Most of the time, their fear is holding them back. In this video, you're going to find out how a baby can teach us to get motivated and be confident. I'd love to share an idea which I share with my personal coaching clients and participants in my seminars. Take a look at a baby who just started walking. Now, can you think of a baby? Who believes in these statements such as, I don't want to look bad, I don't want to fall down, I don't want anyone else to watch me fail, I don't want to live with the burden of failure, I don't want to expend all my energy, I don't want any pain, and I want to get things over as fast as possible. Now a baby could never walk if he or she believes in these statements. Now to a baby, it's a complex activity to stand up on their own feet and start walking. They are probably not too much strong to withstand their weight as well as any accident may occur. Yet they try because they never limit themselves with some silly voices in their head. They are fully committed and determined to walk. They do it consistently. What is required for walking is total commitment. Now let's look at in your life, in any area of your life, especially in your career or business. When you face a problem or challenge to progress and to prosper, don't people use the same statements over and over again? Have a look at the same statements again. I don't want to look bad. Right? I don't want to fall fall down. I don't want anyone else to watch me fail. I don't want to live with to live with the burden of failure. I don't want to expand all my energy. I don't want any pain, and I want to get things over as fast as possible. No matter what the challenge is, you need to remember and understand. That you were also a small child, just the same as we talk about who learned to walk. Even though it was challenging, extremely painful, and almost impossible, do your work without considering those statements. If you could do it as a small child, why can't you do it now? You only need to learn how to do it, and once you overcome the problem and succeed, you smile and have fun. This is incomparable feeling of joy. Notice the baby's face when he or she walks for for a first time. Do the same for you and your business. Why do you use the same sentence? I mean, when you were child, you did not have those kind of limiting beliefs in your mind. You were not believing in those statements. But now most of the people believe in those statements. So friends, do the same thing for you in your personal life as well as professional life.
