Lilly Singh Instagram – Let’s talk motivation. What drives you?👇🏽 I’ve been thinking about this a lot. For the past decade, the most common question I get is, “how are you so motivated?” It’s true. One of my greatest strengths is a relentless work ethic. And although I enjoy my relaxation time (more now than in the past), I am someone who can put seemingly endless energy towards a task. I’m not here to argue if that’s healthy or not 😅 But why and how? My answer has changed over the years, from surface level answers like “I’m just so grateful and I love my job!,” to more honest answers like, “I have people and years of sexist traditions to prove wrong.” But recently the answer has changed yet again to a larger, encompassing thought. Today, I believe what drives me is doing all the things that little Lilly couldn’t even imagine. I have an addiction to breaking the boundaries presented to me and seeing what’s possible instead. Im obsessed with meeting the people I idolize, entering the rooms I’m curious about and creating the stuff I want to see. Simply put, I feel the most fulfilled when I do things and can think, “damn, I can’t believe this actually happened.” And while these tasks can be viewed as daunting, challenging or horrifying (which they are!) instead of approaching them with fear, I approach them with excitement. Im honest enough to admit that I have an addiction to seeing what’s possible for me in this lifetime. Im obsessed with growth and exploration. And maybe one day I’ll become too tired for all of this, but that day is not near. For the foreseeable future, I will pick excitement over fear. Perhaps, excitement is just the evolution of fear. Fear tells you to be scared of failing and excitement tells you to do the thing either way. Here’s to choosing excitement ✨
