Of course. Motivation is entertainment - it gives you the dopamine fix you need to feel pumped up.Anyone else get irritated by motivational videos?
It's a product for the masses, in the same category as fast weight loss with no diet and get rich quick schemes.
You read of the amazing technique and you feel
You watch
At the end of the day, motivation is for the weak.
Come on, what the F*ck do you need motivation for? You don't need to want to do something, you just need to do it.
If you can't muster up the strength to beat your laziness to pursue something you want, you're better off finding an office job where you can pass days on Facebook and complain about the job in the weekends. It's ok. Not everybody has to build an empire.
Now, of course, somebody will take upon themselves to show me the error of my ways to protect their precious ego.
But this is the pure, unadulterated truth, and it's time we say it because people need to wake the F*ck up instead of watching dumb videos shot by marketers and scammers. The moment you actually understand how real, internal motivation works you will cringe watching these videos - or better, you won't watch them because you'll be too busy getting shit done.
Just to be clear, I definitely am knocking down motivational video from an objective standpoint. And I'm doing it not because I want to bash on people like the OP, but because I want them to empower themselves to choose a mission and seeing it through and feel how amazing that is.BTW I am not knocking motivational videos from an objective standpoint. If they do it for you - that's excellent, continue to use them to your utmost advantage.
