Getting inspired

There are days when I am without energy to start something, to progress on anything. There are projects to work on, but I cannot start on them because I don’t feel I want to (“bad days”). Something is missing. That intrinsic energy which spins the wheels in your body, in your mind, in your spirit.

I have faced these bad days for a long time now but I didn’t just let them pass without any initiative from my side.  You have to be optimist and to believe you can change bad in good:

One cannot decide when to have a productive day. Although one can put his efforts towards it.

My solution

I wanted for a long time to write this post because I knew I had solutions for questions like: “What to do when you are down?”, “How to be motivated such that you can consistently work throughout a timestamp?”, “How to be productive and spend time wisely?”. I knew I worked on this area and I knew I had to share this information.
A part of my daily time is on writing notes and for the questions above I made some notes with answers on which I contributed for several months. I made personal lists with everything that worked for me. Today I will share with you only a list of speeches and songs I listen when I need vision and motivation.
How it works for me? Well, after listening on these, I tend to have the chicken skin, my hair raises, I feel endorphin, I feel motivation flows in my veins, I get that “I want to do it” or “I can, I will, I must”. I feel this:

“Getting inspired” list

It is directly copied from my notes app, so don’t mind if you see mistakes in  it. “Getting inspired” is the title I added to the note.

Make your own list

This list is made by testing whatever speeches worked on my mind. I know some of the songs there won’t work on you at all and that is why you should find your own motivation. Just go on any music or video content platform you like, type “motivation speeches” and listen for several months to different speeches and compilations, until you find something you find something you like.

Ask me

Please, I have done this for almost a year now and I tried much of the content out there. The list I shared with you today is only one of them. I can tell you more if you want to, so please contact me if you feel I can help. I will reply as soon as possible.

Share

Let me know what else I can do to improve. Tell me what you do. The fact that you’ve been working on exact same problems makes me feel understood and I want to get in touch with you. And please don’t tell only me, share it with everyone out there who is willing to listen.

I am Razvan. I graduated Computer Science in Romania and I worked as a Software Developer at Microfocus (previously HPE or HP) for a year. At my graduation I quit my job and I started again freelancing. I plan to travel for 3 years in different ways, to see the world, to rediscover myself, to set my standards, my goals and to explore the things I learned in school all these years. I love hiking and mountain climbing, though I want to learn skiing. Money are not what I desire in life, though I know they are important for my health insurance and my retirement. The food part and the accommodation I can handle for now. My young age helps me not complain and not being to demanding in my needs. I would like a world where money were not available and we could exchange goods. Anyhow coins are not a currency in my perception anymore, but time is always the unit measurement I use. I don't waste my time with strangers, companies or things I don't value. You can see me sometimes at different presentations sitting and listening to the speaker and the next 5 minutes you can see me walking out the building cause I see the presentation as a waste of my time. That's me. But I always try to give most of my time to people and causes that matter to me. I opened a blog in order to share my thoughts. I know I have so much to share, I am confident about myself and I want people to have access to my words. I know people can make money out of blogs by affiliating and advertising clothes products or by selling their own products. To be honest, I thought about ways I could earn something from this page, but I don't want to lie to you for the money. I guess in case I really appreciate something, I would just tell you about that. This is me. Răzvan
