K.Marinović - Using something hardly reachable as a motivation

Don´t limit your goals!





                                                                                        K.Marinović - Leaving




You should never limit your goals and make compromises. Go as big as you can. And after quite some time, you realise that only dreaming is for pussies. There is only dedication and hard work and during that period only striving for your goals, for the finish line of all your plans. If you think like "Oh, it´s okay, Honda Civic is a fine car, there is no need to go for anything better than that", chances are, you are not going to be so successful. GO AS BIG AS YOU CAN, DON´T LIMIT YOURSELF. Believe in yourself. Believe that you can achieve ABSOLUTELY everything you want. Anytime. Anywhere. No compromises. 




If we apply that to real life, there are few methods that work for me.




Hardly reachable girls can also be one hell of a motivation. Yeah, sounds dumb when you hear it for the first time... BUT, worked for me. If you fall in love with a girl who is on a way higher level than you, if you can´t get to her, no matter how hard you try...you start working on yourself to be able to get on the same level as her. You start being prepared for everything. You start making sacrifices you would never do before. It´s hard looking at your dream girl, realising you could never be so close to her...Well, it´s time to change that! This might sound ridiculous, BUT it´s actually a lot more than just a girl. You start developing yourself as a whole. Not just physically. You want to become successful because of her. You want to become handsome, You want to make more money. You want to help people. You want to contribute to the world. You want to look good, You want to be a person satisfied with everything you see when you look in the mirror. If you fall in love with a girl like that, you are not going to be sorry... I have a confession to make: I´ve even started working out... from 1 AM to 5 AM every day...Yes...




Also, hardly reachable material things can be a motivation and most of the time are the only motivation, BUT I used to overestimate this area. The method above is the main one that worked for me. This part is the reason why most of the people even start their career. Well, if we are going that far, it´s the reason most of us live for. Material things for some people, like myself, can be really motivating. For some people it is a motivation, but not the right one. It´s just not enough to get some people going. I guess it´s just too common and boring... For me, it works perfectly. I´m all about differentiating from the others, and want to be on a completely other road than everyone else. Material things are one hell of a motivation to do that. Or should I say, to show that. If someone wears black trousers, I want to wear the red ones. If someone drives a Civic, I want to drive a Tesla. If someone wants to drink alcohol, I will gladly drink water. Simple as that. But, I´m an exception... Plus, material things are great challenges to yourself. "Can I do it?" Yes, you can. The only things that stop you from achieving your goals are the limitations you make yourself.




If you need a small material boost, check out my post about the story of Allen Wong:

Then, there are people who motivate themselves with just passion. Contributing to the world. Making hardly achievable things. Apps, inventions, new pieces of technology, etc. Who only care about helping others, contributing to the society, making the world a better place. There are really tons of ways to motivate you with something hardly reachable.



The things above are nice challenges. You have to challenge yourself. Prove to everyone, and more importantly, to yourself, that you can do it. That´s why I decided to do it. To make it happen. Set yourself a challenge. "Can I buy that new Camaro?" Of course. You can do everything you want. "Life has no limitations, except the ones we make ourselves." Don´t make any.

K.Marinović - Surround yourself with people who are better than you

Let them MOTIVATE you!





                                                                                                                                                                          K.Marinović - Splashing



I feel like everything in my life has happened for a reason so far. The drive in a Camaro that motivated me so much that I go to sleep at 5 AM every day, working all night just to be be able to buy it, but also a lot of small things that had a big influence on me. For example, a few days ago, I lost almost 100 followers on Twitter in just 2 hours. I went outside that night, thought about everything, slapped myself and said; "Now, you are going to get inside, turn on your laptop and destroy everyone´s mind with your new photo. Then, you are going to be following people, liking stuff, editing new photos,  just to keep yourself in the game." That was exactly what happened...



BUT, if your life hasn´t been the same so far... Let´s try to make it that way!



The environment that you are in has a lot of impact on you. If you don´t feel like everything is going so naturally like in my case, create you perfect environment! 



Let´s turn it this way: Let´s say you are in 2 bands. 

In the first band, you are an intermediate guitar player and your band members are starting out just now. They´ve started playing their instruments a few months ago. You are by far the best member of that band. In the beginning, it´s all a lot of fun, no ego, no strings attached. BUT, in a few months, you are starting to be cocky. You are starting to be aware that you are a god in that band and your ego starts growing. You are slowly beginning making fun of them, throwing smal jokes at them occasionally. That is the beginning of your end. Although, your ego can be a plus in some cases, like in the case of Steve Jobs, something that makes your attitude a lot more serious, it usually keeps you on the same spot for a long time, slows down your progress and development. After some time, you just begin thinking about yourself and underestimating others. If you are the best in your band for a long time, you stop progressing because you don´t have motivation for going forward.

In the second band, you are the beginner. You´ve just started playing bass. Beside you, you have an awesome lead guitar player who can play absolutely every technique flawlessly. Then, you have an amazing drummer and a great vocalist who can pull off some nice clean vocals as well as some brutal growling. As a bass player, you´ll look up to that amazing guitar player, you´ll watch his fingers fly on that fretboard and you´ll want to do the same thing on your fretboard. Every new day, you´ll want to be like him, the big star, the hero, even more. You are going to practice every day in your room for hours. You are going to be the quiet worker. No ego. Just practice. With practice and hard work, the results come soon. 




The same situation can be true in real life. This is just a simplified version.



If you drive a Polo... Find a friend with a Mustang.



You´ll be working all day just to get the Mustang just like your friend. BUT, if you drive a Mustang and your friends drives a Polo... You are never going to buy a Ferrari.
