The Motivation Craziness

It’s Monday! Time to work, giving your best.

Only quitters quit, and the attitude of losers demands rest.

The only way to get success in life is in four letters- Z-E-S-T.

Keep working forever, and never ask for rest.

Now you’ll be wondering what the hell I’m talking about. This crap, on a Monday morning.

You must be done watching the reels, and videos about the motivational section of your life. If you’re done, then enjoy this. Because I’m certainly not writing as a motivational writer. After all, I don’t sell best sellers in any country. In addition, I’m much more unhappy than you are about this.

People lie, and they lie about 10000 different things. These days, motivation has been in the market for too long. Longer than I thought it should have been. But daily the motivation market is incessantly rising, and I suppose now that it is never going to stop.

With the authors emerging like the algae on the clean water; and multiplying in number like mosquitoes, this vicious vortex is getting more dangerous with each passing day.

A long time ago (maybe 6 or 7 years), I encountered the first meme about Monday motivation. I, being inquisitive, searched as to why people are so obsessed with eliminating Mondays from their lives all of a sudden. Some of my friends, who were working at that time, told me that I wouldn’t understand unless I get myself into the circle of life that way. They never gave me an accurate answer. They just kept hating Mondays and kept posting about the same on social media. And clearly, as we can see, social media is the dumbest creation of mankind. It has done more harm than good and has depressed more than it so-called motivated people.

Slowly this frenzy started taking bigger and worse shape. Now I see that people are so bored of working on Monday, that they’re ready to ruin their entire week onwards. Where has this come from? Who propagated this doctrine? Not that we’ll ever know who, but we must understand that it is taking a huge toll on our attitude, our gratitude, and our way of seeing life. People on various platforms and books have started giving out formulae on how to stay motivated all the time, how motivation only can get you out of this hell of mundane life, etc.\

But no one is ready to understand that it is propaganda used to ensure that their pockets are filled by leveraging your misery, and your frustration. That is certainly not a good way to earn money, but they do it anyway and expand their empire by selling shit renamed as gold. I have never seen my father frustrated about Monday. He never felt depressed just because his day was bad at the workplace.

He never had the privilege of posting memes after memes. When I started understanding the world, I began to realize that good times create weak people. This motivation concept is really a temporary thing, like other things. But somehow, conmen parametrize this into something false which is permanent and sell it as their own discovered philosophy or under the label of some dead ancient Greek and Indian philosopher who had probably never said this thing. There is more to learn in this life. You will never stay motivated all the time. Your mood might be elated for a short period of time. Do not mistake it for anything else. It is just an infinitesimally ecstatic feeling. Don’t waste your money to know something that you already know. Fail nicely to learn better. Yeah, one more thing, stay motivated to keep yourself safe from Monday motivation!
