Geetings everyone! I am here with my entry for this week 3 of the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 3. I invite @moer, @beautiful12, @ijebest, @bongk, @patjewell, @wase1234 and @shance-light to come partake in this contest.

Pick TWO of these characters and tell us why you have picked it and what you see as the meaning of these words.

The 2 characters i shall choose will be solely because of the motivational phrases associated with them, and how easily i can relate to them on a personalized point of view.

(1) Merida

The phrase from Merida says, "Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it". This phrase relates to my principles so well because from my own understanding, i can draw that she meant that We all have everything we need to succeed buried deep in us, all we need to do is to believe and force it out through determination and hard work.

To be brave means to take the leap of fate with maximum believe in ourselves, alongside determination. The conditions along the way won't always work in our favor, but it shouldn't stop us because if others like us can do it, all we need is the courage and will to push on to achieve it as well.

(2) Spongebob SquarePants

The phrase from Spongebob SquarePants says, "I'm ready!, I'm ready!, I'm ready!" I am a big fan of the spongebob cartoon, and i refer to him as a happy being because he is always in the state of euphoria. What i drew from this phrase is that, we should always be positive and optimistic whenever we set our minds to achieve a goal. Not only when achieving goals per say, but throughout our lives. To be happy is to live longer and achieve more. The state of optimism helps eradicate unwanted distractions in our minds, and helps us achieve the best because work done with a joyous mind always comes out with so much love. To be euphoric can actually saves you from unpleasant situations too.

Do you think the statement “A little bit of motivation can go a long way” is true or false? Explain your answer.

This statement is very true because life itself is a challenge, and as the days go by, communication and routine checkups have flee from our generation compared to the days of old. Today, suicidal acts and depression problems have escalated to the point wherein the death ratio has move up yearly.
Studies have shown that motivation is a great therapy for depression, self pity, self hate, and much more. Lack of motivation has caused some people to give up on their dreams, or even worst, given up on life itself. Motivation gives people so much hope at different times:

  • It give them a reason to fight on.

  • It makes them realize that they are not alone.

  • It makes them see that their predicament isn't the worst scenario at the moment.

AND SO MUCH MORE

Why is motivation important to you as a person?

Motivation is like a gold mine for me, it is my energizer as i call it. It brings about assurance and a sense of fulfillment, even with the problem or doubt still lingering around. I always try to see things from the point of others because if you have not worn the shoe yet, you can't possibly know where it hurts the most. Your worst encounter could be someone's better day in a whole week. What i mean here is that, the gravity of your biggest problems might be just the tip of the iceberg for others.
Most a times i dwell more on biblical verses for motivation, because the bible has all the motivational phrases anyone could ever need, and more. When i am sad, i rush to my bible. When i am in need, i rush to my bible. When i am loosing confidence in myself or people, i rush yo my bible. When i am failing to achieve goal, i rush to my bible! Anything that brings about doubt in my life at any given point in time, i rush to my bible.
My bible brings about comfort because each motivational phrase/verse i read from it at every moment of my life, it gives me so much satisfaction knowing that it came from my creator.

Motivation inspires me, and gives me hope of better days ahead
.

Do you motivate others? Give two examples

Yes i do motivate others all the time. I will explain on a wider scale under 2 sub headers; Steemit Related and Lifestyle Related.

Steemit Related

I have a couple of steemians whom i have brought into the steemit platform and mentored up until date. Ever since last year (2021), i have been giving them all the support they could possibly need. A huge portion of these supports i mentioned were motivational words. I gave them so many words of motivation, all thanks to the hardship i went through. I spoke to them encouraging them not to slow down, give up, or be carried away by the little rewards they got as newbies because the patient dog always gets the fattest bone.

Lifestyle Related

In life, i give motivation to my friends. I do not practice gender inequality, so i motivate both male and female equally. The most common motivation requested are on relationships. I always give them the talk that would build them up, even when it makes my gender look like animals. I motivate the brokenhearted with the advantages that comes with single hood. I make them see things from a different point, and i make them understand that the greatest payback they could render a disloyal partner is to expand in value and virtue. At the end, a well principled person will always attract responsible individuals. A couple of individuals should dictate how you should feel about everyone.

What habits can you create to increase motivating yourself?
  • Aligning myself with those who rub off inspiration on me.

  • Having a community/group that ideas can be shared. The initiative must be the same to avoid disunity.

  • Creating cards of motivational phrases and pasting on clear and obvious surfaces (like the walls, reading table, or the door).

  • Cherishing those who check up on you and listen when you need to vent out your worries.

Post well put together
Alot of value things has been said but I couldn't agree more on the fact that we have everything we need to succeed in us. It takes bravery and courage to see it.

Best regards!!

It takes so much courage and bravery to surpass all our goals and achieve even more. But laziness and cowardliness won't let some people muster these characteristics.
Thank you @wase1234, always supportive 🤗🥂

Spongebob is one of my favorite characters and I really like his motivational words. One of his words was "If money can make me forget my best friend, then I'd rather have no money at all."

I also share motivation, if you have time please see it and I am very happy.

makes them see that their predicament isn't the worst scenario at the moment

This is very true as our current predicament is just a phase to ahead. Our case isn't not the worse as we never can tell what others are facing.

This is a concept on life that many people do not understand. our situations aren't the worst at the time, we are just too selfish to see the bigger picture. Thanks my good friend for the continuous support 🥂

Es satisfactorio estar encaminado en cuanto a lo que anhelamos en la vida y tener también una alternativa confiable cuando algo nos preocupa o nos impide avanzar. Por todo lo que he leído, usted cuenta con las herramientas necesarias para motivar su vida, además en el libro sagrado encuentra refugio, consuelo para cada ocasión. Me parece muy bien. Éxitos...

De hecho, encuentro consuelo en la Biblia cada vez que estoy angustiado. Nunca deja de tener palabras de consuelo y tranquilidad.


Gracias por pasarte por mi amigo.

Motivation is something that can save a lot of people from depression, a lot of people are being depressed, they feel like their condition is the worst of it all and because they are not motivated, they allowed themselves to be drowning in the situation, some resolve into giving themselves pains or drunk not knowing that can not help them. We all need to be motivated so that we can keep going, I love how you love reading bible at every situation you found yourself, the word of God is a great comforter. Thank you for sharing.
