00:00
Most of us complain of lack of motivation.
00:02
That is hardly a problem because motivation helps nobody.
00:05
You do not require motivation.
00:07
You require realization.
00:08
The problem is that you do not know the tasks to take up.
00:12
When you pen down something, when you assign a task to yourself,
00:16
ask, is it important?
00:18
If it is not important, why must I pretend to give it importance?
00:23
Why must I even jot this thing down?
00:26
Let me be bold enough to simply omit it or strike it out.
00:30
And if something is indeed important, why can't I sit with it
00:35
for five minutes and appreciate its importance?
00:38
If something is important, don't just write down four words about it.
00:43
Give four minutes to it.
00:44
Just four minutes and ask yourself, why is this thing important?
00:48
Why? What does it give to me?
00:51
What does it turn me into?
00:52
How does it help me, raise me, strengthen me, purify me?
