How to Stay Motivated at work or anywhere in your 20’s?
You should not be a motivated person. Generally, when we say somebody is motivated, it means they have an agenda of their own. Life has no agenda, it’s for you to be a full-fledged life. A grasshopper is trying to be a full-fledged grasshopper, earthworm is trying to be a full-fledged earthworm, a bird is trying to be a full-fledged bird, a tree is trying to be a full-fledged tree. A human being should strive to become a full-fledged human being.
This is all our business is, but each one of us start creating our own agendas and doing all kinds of things. No, no, you’re just a piece of life, don’t take yourself too seriously. Because before you and me, countless number of people have come and gone. Hmm?

When you’re little frustrated, whoo… How difficult it is! So, don’t teach your children to become motivated or Stay Motivated about something. These are all nonsense – all those trashy self-help books “motivate yourself, build confidence, believe in yourself.”
You believed in God and destroyed so much of this world. Now, You believe in yourself, what will you do?

You just have to see how we are alive to its fullest possible level right now. If it’s fully alive, it will do everything that it can do, isn’t it? what it cannot do, anyway it will not do. If you watch a bird in the morning, little bird. It’s doing everything that it can do, isn’t it? Everything that it can do, it’ll spare nothing. That’s all you have to do – everything you can do. What you cannot do, perfectly okay.
What We Cannot Do, It Doesn’t Matter
A worm cannot do what a bird does, a bird cannot do what an elephant does, an elephant cannot do what we do, yes or no? But, we must be doing what we can do. What we cannot do, it doesn’t matter.
What we can do, must happen. For this, all that’s needed is you must understand life is a very brief sparkle – it’s just boop, boop, boop and gone.
Before you know what’s happening, you’ll be gone. Unless you’re miserable, miserable people have a long life. Only they feel life is long. If you’re very joyful, poof, it’ll be gone before you know what’s happening. Have you noticed a specific day, you’re very happy, twenty-four hours (Snaps fingers), gone like that.

Little miserable, twenty-four hours feel like 10,000 years. Yes or No? So, time is a very relative experience, but if you compare to how long you will be dead, you will be dead for millions of years. You’re alive just for a few, little bit.
You Must Become A Full-Fledged Life
This time don’t be motivated by anything. All that you have to do is, you must become a full-fledged life. Twenty-four year, twenty-five year old boy, he shouldn’t become a motivated human being. He must just be burst of life. Then, he will not ask, “How do I wake up in the morning and be motivated? or How to Stay Motivated Everyday ?” What are you motivated about? Nothing, if you’re alive, you’ll bounce out of your bed, isn’t it?
But now, the way we eat, the way we breathe, the way we do things, and intoxicants and stuff, everything, generally the body wants to die, it doesn’t want to be alive. People created this culture. What is that – “Thank God, it’s Friday.”
The statistics show that seventy percent of the Americans hate their jobs – not dislike, hate. Five days if you do something that you hate, I don’t know how you enjoy the weekend. All the happened in the weekend is, you’re knocked out.
You’re either drunk, or you’re drugged, or you’re indulging in something, okay? Beyond that, no great shakes joy is happening, all right? Yes or No?
Do You Hate Your Job?
Seventy percent of the people hate their jobs, how do you live like this? Why the hell are you doing something that you hate, first of all? If you don’t love doing what you’re doing, you shouldn’t do it – always somebody will do it. Someone comes to me, he’s heading a multinational company, Global CEO. He comes in a distressed state and, “Sadhguru, I can’t take this. They’re putting so much pressure on me every day. I can’t take this.” Then I look at him, raise my hands and say, “May you be fired.”
He was like, “Oh! Sadhguru, Sadhguru, what are you saying?” I said, “Eh man, you’re suffering so much. What is the point? At least if you’re fired, you can walk on the beach.” Maybe somebody else will do this job little more joyfully than you. You think you’re spinning the planet, or what?

What is the hardship? Are you spinning the planet? Are you pushing it around the sun? Everything is free, isn’t it? Everything is free. All you have to do is be a full-fledged life. Don’t constipate yourself with too many ideas, philosophies, belief systems, stupid thoughts and emotions with which you get constipated and become less than who you are.
No, you should no ever be less than what you can be, isn’t it? You don’t have to be as good as somebody else, and you can never be, because everybody is different. But you should not be less that what you can be. So, you don’t need motivation for this, you need aliveness. At twenty-five, if you’re not very alive, you need some cranking.
Don’t Say – Stay Motivated to Your Children
Also, don’t force your children or tell to Stay Motivated at Work or at studies. Don’t motivate your children, it’s not necessary. You have to see how they’re joyful and alive. In this, their body and their intelligence will work at its best. “Oh, will they just be happy and not do anything?” You tell me, are you willing to do more when you’re happy, or are you willing to do more when you’re unhappy? When you’re happy, you’re willing to do anything that is needed, isn’t it? You’re willing to forego your food, your sleep and do what you need to do when you’re very happy, isn’t it?
When you’re unhappy – oh, how hard it is to get anything done from you. So, a wife sent a telegram to her husband, who was in a three-month training – IAS (Indian Administrative Services), you know? She sent a telegram, “Start worrying, rest will follow in a letter.” At twenty-five, you start worrying, rest will follow.
“If you are feeling tension, anxiety, your own intelligence has turned against you. All human experience is coming from within, how can you not engineer yourself to perfection?”
“Inner engineering essentially means to bringing yourself to a state where all the faculties of being human works for you.”
