Quote of the Day: MS Dhoni on Finding Purpose and Motivation

Imagine a ship sailing at sea without a proper dock to reach, or picture yourself running a race with no finish line in sight.

How would that feel?

Confused, frustrating, and hopeless, right?

I believe that many of you have been in the same situation, and I also know that it is incredibly difficult to gather your energy and run that race when you don’t have any idea where you are going to actually end up.

This is a common theme across people who feel unmotivated and burned out. But it is not that they lack the willpower or that they are executing their tasks incorrectly.

Rather, it is the lack of a proper target or a vision that is behind all. MS Dhoni, the legendary cricketer and former captain of India, captures the essence of this situation perfectly, and that is what today’s quote is all about.

Quote of the Day by MS Dhoni - Power of Dream

“If you don’t really have a dream, you can’t really push yourself; you don’t really know what the target is.”

 -  MS Dhoni

Quote of the Day: Meaning

The deeper meaning behind this quote that Dhoni is trying to tell us that dream and effort go hand in hand. He says that you simply turn up for work without knowing what to do, or there is no reason to give it all without knowing the outcome. 

Dhoni says that if you don’t have a dream, you won’t be able to push yourself, as you don’t have anything that you want to achieve. It is like walking through a forest, without knowing exactly what you are searching for.

At that time, even one step feels like a heavy weight on your shoulders. But the moment you know what you are looking for, your mind works faster, you have a purpose, and a target.

When you have a clear target in front of you, you start pushing yourself by overriding the natural desire for comfort.

To conclude, dreams demand dedication and persistence, and when you have a dream or a vision, your brain rewires itself in order to achieve it.
