Memorize Academy | How to Get Motivated and Find Your Spark - Rule #1 @MemorizeAcademy | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
How to get motivated and find your spark with five little rules.

I have five little rules that you can follow as you find your spark and bring your spark to life.

The first is to go after the things that you want.

Let me tell you a story. So a friend of mine and I we went for a run in Central Park. The Roadrunners organization on the weekend they host races and it's very common at the end of the race they'll have a sponsor who will give away something apples or bagels or something.

And on this particular day when we got to the end of the run there were some free bagels and they had picnic tables set up and on one side was a group of volunteers, on the table were boxes of bagels and on the other side was a long line of runners waiting to get their free bagel.

So I said to my friend let's get a bagel and he looked at me and said that line’s too long and I said free bagel and he said I don't want to wait in line and I was like free bagel and he says nah it's too long and that's when I realized that there's two ways to see the world.

Some people see the thing that they want and some people see the thing that prevents them from getting the thing that they want.

I could only see the bagels he could only see the line and so I walked up to the line I leaned in between two people put my hand in the box and pulled out two bagels and no one got mad at me because the rule is you can go after whatever you want you just cannot deny anyone else to go after whatever they want.

Now I had to sacrifice choice I didn't get to choose which bagel I got.

I got whatever I pulled out but I didn't have to wait in line so the point is - you don't have to wait in line, you don't have to do it the way everybody else has done it, you can do your way, you can break the rules, you just can't get in the way of somebody else getting what they want.
