When You Lack Self Discipline, Remember This Experiment - Keshav Bhatt Motivation

Motivational Speech & Inspiration by Keshav Bhatt. Please Subscribe to my channel! In the late 1970s a Stanford university professor cracked part of the code & mystery on motivation by testing: how well can a child resist the temptations of a cookie? He wanted to test, what would happen, if at a young age we learned the ability to resist instant satisfaction in favour of later rewards. In this test, he put a young child in a room alone with a cookie. before leaving, he told each of them, if they didn’t eat the cookie now, when he returned they’d get more. As you can imagine, some ate it and some waited. But what happened next was, all the more interesting... He watched the journey of these kids over a lifetime to see how this ability served them later on in life. And what he found was an interesting insight we can all map into our lives. Those who conquered that inner resistance as a child. Tended to do the same as adults. And that same tendency to resist, it led them to persist towards greater success and rewards in life. They performed better in school, they were healthier & they even had better brain chemistry. Their success came from their self control. From their self mastery. Their ability to resist the temptations of the now in favour of the riches in the future. So How do we start resisting today's fleeting fix in favour of tomorrow's lasting legacy? After all, Isn't that what we are crying out as a world for? Our great grand plans are made harder by a bombardment of swift swipes, perfect pixels and filtered feeds all flashing away for our attention. How can we resist when our very minds are being hijacked and controlled? Our endless thirst for gratification is now as easy a quick swipe across a screen. In a global arms race for attention, we are losing. What I believe is actually, self control is not a question of willpower or #motivation alone. In fact, I believe, it's about mitigating the temptations outside the gardens of our goals. We need to bolt in place a barrier around our inner world. So we can #focus on what truly matters to us, what is truly important to us. I believe that, we need to plan for our weakest moments by putting in place such a process, that there is something there, that we have designed, for us to fall back on. For us to safely fail into. We don’t rise to the level of our motivation, we fail to the level of our systems. (James Clear) Filling the cupboard with fruit instead of cookies, for example. Deleting these apps and disabling the daily dings fighting for our attention. And once we’ve reduced the uncontrolled winds of the external world, it’s time to fan the flames of our own internal world. To decide and set in stone, what is it that we as individuals, want to do? Not what a program or app recommends we should do. But what do we want? What do we commit to? As I end then, let me go back to the timeless words of Leonardo Da Vinci, who said: Success is self mastery and failure is really self abandonment. #Success for me means, setting in place a vision of who I could be and acting in alignment with that. Acting in favour of the future form of me. And regardless of how I may not feel like resisting it, realising that its futile for me to hope for an easier path where every factor is aligned in my favour. It’s never just about the cookie. But resisting today so you can win tomorrow. You might delay, but time doesn’t. Those who commit to nothing. Remain distracted by everything. (James Clear) Peace
