In a way, having something you're passionate about is more important than motivation itself, because when you have passion, you bring with you attributes like "first things first" and "heightened clarity." So in addition to clarity, we need to have the sense to find a purpose, the matching power to control freedom, the metacognitive power to direct everything, and so on, to connect them and truly improve ourselves from deep within. When you're stuck in an inactive, lazy, empty mood, it's often because your brain is in a foggy state. The brain either doesn't know what it wants; Or you want to do so many things at once that you can't decide what you want to achieve most. Either you know your goal, but you don't know when and how you're going to achieve it. No matter what state you're in, just take out a pen and paper, write down your goals, write down your time, and your metacognitive skills will quickly improve and you'll be highly motivated. It comes down to the same thing: the clearer the perception, the more firm the action. As Einstein said, "If I were given an hour to solve a question that will decide whether I live or die, I would spend 55 minutes figuring out what the question is asking. Once it's clear what it's asking, the remaining five minutes is enough to answer that question." Smart thinkers know that "thinking through" is the key to everything, and they take more time than anyone else to "figure it out." Ordinary people, on the other hand, seem to like to dive headfirst into the minutiae of life and go with the flow because it seems so effortless. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is "easier to know than to act", while in the eyes of intelligent people, it is "easier to know than to act". This point deserves our reflection. I believe that if you really think clearly, you will take the initiative to rebuild your action. Trust me, once you do it, it really feels different!
