This Simple Trick Will Motivate You For Life (Animated Story)

In this video, I talk about how to become motivated. There is one little trick that we all can do to unlock our motivation, and it’s something that I personally do every single day. I know there are a lot of videos on KZbin that talk about this topic, but I really do believe this is the most important one you could watch.
Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you all enjoy the video.

[@MasculineMan]

This one took a lot of effort. Really hope you guys enjoy it! **EDIT** After reading some comments, I see that I didn't do the best job ending the story... When Leo was in Poverty, he was motivated because he had to survive. But the reason why he was so successful in the Tourism company, and the reason why he moved up so fast, was because he was grateful to be in a position where he was NOT in Poverty, and he was not in danger. I Should have made that clearer, will learn from the mistake and make the next story better.

This doesn't happen often, so please read this carefully: After I watched this video, I immediately thought of my mom. She works so hard to put food on the table, and when she comes home she still cleans the house, makes me dinner, and makes the effort to stay awake just to hear how my day went. And me...I'm old enough to get a job. So you know what I did? All those classes I've been getting C's on, I studied secretly at night in my room. I went to the dollar store to buy some organizing materials. I watched KZbin recipes and tutorials and cooked for my mum. She was so happy when she got my report card, I bet your lips would curl upwards if you saw what I saw. She was proud of me, and I was proud to succeed in everything. My goal before this year ends is to be physically strong, slim, and empowering to others. You can do whatever you want to guys. You can tear down those barriers you THINK are untearable.

@@hendrikdependrik1891 It's no wonder why common knowledge says that when abilities and cost are the same for all potential employees, the married man with children will probably get the job. And that's more because of social standards. So i'd reckon that a single parent, regardless of their gender, is even more of a safe bet. We live in a sad world where manipulation and exploitation of our own is the standard. And what's worse is that we hold this on a high regard too.

A mindset that helps is the "Now or never" or "What is my decision at gunpoint". Have a goal, visualize it, imagine the way and do baby steps.

There is a saying in my culture, that you can take you can choose to take narrow walkways and back alleys all you want, you will still eventually end up on a highway. I was thought that gratitude is the catalyst for all that is good in life and that I should stop anything I am doing (even sleep), in order to reflect on all that I am grateful for and say it out loud a minimum of 19 times through out the day. But as a human, I soon get distracted and then forget. No wonder we, humanity, are literally called "the forgetful one" (in Arabic). Again, thanks for the reminder, for that is the only cure.

[@pecko88tv]

Although there is a interesting point to this story, the way the events play out, it can be said that this story is nothing more than a pipe dream.

Entitlement was never a thing that helped anybody. I'm very grateful for this, and it's eeriely relevant to somebody I've just met. Thanks, really.

The problem however is that people (mostly all these people who are depressed all the time) dont or can't be grateful b/c they havnt suffered... They havn't felt great loss or experienced what rock bottom really is. I agree that this lesson is very true to life as me being grateful that my family did not just throw me on the streets after i got out of jail helped push me to get my life on track. I was grateful for the first person who finally hired me knowing my record (though she treated me like a work horse). I am grateful that the friend i met at that job got me a better job. I am grateful that the General Manager fought for me to be manager despite the investors wanting me gone when they found out my record... Every day i think about this while i sit here and watch youtube... but i have a friend who was furious beyond reason b/c her parents didnt get her the phone she wanted... Being truly grateful is not something you can explain to someone imo it's something that comes from pain, hurt, and loss from the universe trying to teach us life lessons...

[@ImamHafizAkhlaqAhmad]

Only 2 things motivate us. Fear and passion. There is no 3rd option. Our hobbies are our passion which motivate us to spend so much time upon them. Fear of suffering and the payment of bills .etc make us go to work daily to avoid the pain and suffering of ourself and our loved ones. The motivation for Leo was fear.

[@genelypse]

I get the point of the video, but this is not really what happens in the favelas... This mindset that the locals want an opportunity to run away is wrong, in fact this is the exception not rule. The big majority work hard, try their best to improve their life and of their peers, usually people who succeed, go to college and stuff like that try to take this with them and share inside the favelas. That's why we have so many social groups, independent media, educational programs. So this video would be accurate if Leo tried to create something to help his community, as this help won't come from the government.

You're right but every limitless motivation comes from one of these sources :sadness,anger or kindness

Anger yes, but sadness only causes a self sorry mental loop which always undermines your performance, atleast in my case.

[@uniquelyleira]

Yeah, I need to incorporate more gratefulness in my daily life rather than complain for not having the things I want. Complaining is a life-sucker. It makes one weak to change gears and move on. But it's always easier to complain than to do something.

He tried so hard to be successful, without the wealthy man, they would be stuck of being poor. I'm glad he got his freedom from poorness, and he got richer than other people now. But us, we have everything and don't worry about anything, we become unmotivated, and think about that we have all the things we need, makes us more lazy. I hope he lives a very good life. He may be poor, but he's more hard-working.
