1) I *choose* to study now and complete my assignment which has been pending for 2 weeks. Though the deadline passed, gaining knowledge is much more important. 2) I *choose* to exercise today. *I CHOOSE TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE*

Your way of Speaking is literally amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Showed this video to my cat.... it's a lion now !

"Action over overthinking" GREAT!

The thing that constantly motivates me is just by motivating other people .

When you are 30+ you have feeling for all the things she is saying . She just puts it in the most eloquent form ever. Binge watching these. Awesome , Awesome job

The most common cause of procrastination, I find, is our sense of commitment for any waking hour of the day. Waking up at 5 am most importantly gives us a time of day when we're guaranteed to have no other commitments. This can give us the clarity and sense of freedom to begin working on anything we've been putting off for a long time. Love the message, Shadé. Connecting with your why idea resonates with me the most. Thank you.

I learn a lot from you, but apart from that, I am a huge admirer of your confidence, and wanted to tell you that you look very dashing, empowered and empowering, classy and of course beautiful

You really are a gift to so many people, thanks for this!

An inspiring personality of my life once told me, "A waste is not a waste if it's kept in the right place." A pursuit of looking at ourselves in our chosen path and bringing the focus and empathy alongside. I have difficulty translating the thoughts and this is among those moments. :-) I hope anyone who reads this finds a suitable relevance in conversing this thought. With Love- Tarun V.

1. Your accent is lovely 2. Your personality is outstanding. 3. Your smile is mindblowing. Please carry on. Even it is for prep talk because sometimes life got very very hard and your advices are come in handy

My goal is to open my own school of foreign languages and help students to travel around the world in order to achieve the best experiences their lives 🙈✨❤️🙏🏻

You are so right about that procrastinating thing leading to overthinking, overanalysing and ultimately finding the excuses for not being able to do anything.

Just found u perfect timing there r no coincidences. I’m 77 great life & healthy just got fantastic job! I meditate walk exercise & eat mostly healthy. Welcome & seek ways to reaffirm my gratitude & to live in the present. Ur words & presentation have sparked my focus & reminded me of many things I had forgotten about my ‘why’. Thx

What I’m doing for motivating myself is to think about the higher level of convenience that the results of my scientific work could contribute to the humanity. So, I always see myself as a person who contributes positively toward betterment of our world.

I’m light and energy. So I am naturally motivated. I may not have anyone in the flesh to hang out with but I do in the spirit. God is with me always. I do things that I enjoy and make me happy. Like walking around the neighborhood, listening to music, singing, saying hello to neighbors, riding bicycle, watching sermons/shows, spending time in the sun, going out to eat, rollerblading, playing tennis, etc. Go me!!! ❤

I love the insightful content that you share. Apart from the content there is so much more to learn from you. Your confidence, body language, presentation 👌

You uploaded what I needed at this time! Yesterday, I was hyped but today I felt like I don't want to work and just lay down and rest. Step-by-step small actions is the best way to get out of the rut!

I carry the attitude of gratitude with me every day, you are a such generous person, kind person words are not enough to express to you how grateful I am for your help and you make the world a better place. We your followers love you❤.

you keep always your word simple and clear which connect people and makes them watch till the end.

You are one of the best motivator that breakdown things scientifically and psychologicaly in objective pov ,that gives us subjective lesson in objectively manner

That's sooo beautifully done and told ! Loved every bit of it... "I choose to become a Chartered accountant"

I have a serious procrastination problem. I feel lucky to have come across your KZfaq account. The most value added per minute I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. if the excellence of the content of your videos Will not help me solve my procrastination issue, nobody will. I also don’t stay motivated. So I will start following your advice. Keep up Your excellent work, and thank you so much! It’s a pity mankind is in an inexorable self destructive path, because people like you give a meaning to its existence … while it lasts. God bless you. If there is a god, which I doubt.

I heard the same advices in a lot of motivational vids but your enthusiasm is what made me continue watching.

Your Very Presence motivates me, being a Man of Action Always upto Challenges even Today.

My strategy up to this point has been waiting to feel motivated. Which only happens so often. Like you said it's not sustainable. As a result of waiting rather than doing, I'm behind on education and work. I am going to apply this! I choose to right now. 😌 It can be debilitating at times to see the amount of stuff I've let get out of control since I haven't taken action. By taking action it gets smaller though. Guess what?!? KZfaq keeps suggesting your vids and I find them enlightening. Thank you for creating, Shadé! 😃👍

Action that I wanna take is thanking you Miss Zahrai for being an amazing person to sharing your thoughts and ideas, deeply appreciate.

Absolutely to the point. Some of the things we know, we have read, we have heard but we don't follow. Your video just created a greater level of awareness and realization. The action point from this video is I am currently working on an Art related website and want to complete it in another 5 months. Thanks for motivating and inspiring all of us. Best wishes.

Helping others and reading or knowing about more successful people keeps me motivated

Neuro linguistics...I love hearing you speak and I have been learning new words. Not so much new words but how you combine your words to give a deep impact. I find myself listening to you more and more. 💗

I don't watch your videos because you're good. I watch it because you make me feel good. 🙏❤️

*_TIMESTAMPS_* 👍 0:53 1. Action fuels motivation 2:53 2. Write Why you want to do it 5:35 3. Write the benefits of accomplishing your goal BONUS: Think about all of the people who depend on you and believe in you! Most importanly, believe in YOURSELF! ❤ *_P.S. I'm so proud of you for being motivated enough to watch this video on how to get MORE motivated!_*

In my opinion, While intrinsic rewards should be more but it is better to be balanced so that one can be consistently motivated! Great video thank you for this.

Love your videos, Very helpful! Would you say self-discipline is more important than motivation? Because it seems like when we constantly seek that motivation feeling, we don't take action. Our feeling and mood are always shifting. What do you think Shadé?

I keep myself motivated by sharing my knowledge with I gathered from reading books with others. I motivate myself by inspiring others from stories of my own failures and lessons learnt from it.

I have listened to your short about law of attraction and it was liberating, subscribed and will keep watching your good content

Hey Shade, My action just helped me to watch this video Why ? Coz I know you'll share one step ahead solution even if i knew that before Motivator - extrinsic factor definitely in my case and I'm on my way I choose to watch you upcoming videos as well and change my life furthermore.

I know we are living in a different world we are used to. Working from home and changes a lot but I choose to make the right decision plus watch you with give me the support I need to boost my energy level.

Hi there, I would like to say that I find the way you articulate your advice it motivates me to get better at what I am trying to put together. I would love to hear more motivational videos about start-ups or entrepreneurs .

It's amazing how people are able to bring their imagination into reality, but unfortunately, many kids in undeveloped countries never learn the courage of converting their vision into reality. For example, James Cameron had a vision of a self-made submarine and go to the deepest part of the ocean when he was under 10 years old, eventually, he did it when he was in his 60's. I hope the internet becomes free for all kids around the globe to learn from good teachers like you, Much Respect!

I get motivated the moment I go through your videos. You have a magnetic personality and trust me you are a very good orator.

The question why to my self motivating lot ..... I found this video useful . The important point I got from this video was writing down the benefits from my goal .. I think writing down your goals and benifits from your goal in a sheet of paper and sticking In wall will help to stay focused and motivated ..❤️ your videos are amazing ❤️

Hi Shadè, Dr. Kalsi here. Your video's contents are very concentrated. You've given so much in this short video. This video has helped me to overcome a specific weakness of mine. I've decided to recommend your video to my patients. Staaaaay blessed 🙌 OUR MEDICAL COLLEGES ARE PRODUCING DOCTORS, BUT IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE CREATING A SUCCESSFUL DOCTOR... A SUCCESSFUL HUMAN BEING.

Thank you Sister! I’m working on a few things your videos are helping me greatly. I’m working toward getting Electrical Journeyman License. I’m taking a prep course every Friday for the next four weeks from there I choose to schedule my state test.

Thank you for sharing this! At the moment, I'm working on my next song, and what motivates me is promoting my previous songs so that I can have a feeling of "people are enjoying my music right now while I work on new music," without my music being played by people daily, I would be demoralized, that's why I address this by running multiple Ads to promote my music! Thanks again for sharing this, with you in my life, I think I'll go further! I appreciate you! I'll see you in your next video! :) 😎

your every words is like a gold , thanks 💫

Very honest and practical points on how to stay motivated on long run to bring dreams into reality. Especially the first point : Take action ! Thank you very much for your efforts Shadé !

They are, thank you very much! I put in my new year resultion journal.👍🤞

Watching videos that are uplifting and help me to focus on the positive - such as this one you just posted :) - are the fuel I need to take action. Thank you Shade!

I love you 💛. Thanks for the video. I think I'm gonna be successful soon, thanks for the motivation.

wow. this is awesome. Subscribing right away. Thanks for this video!

Finally. I found someone whos Brilliant to listen to!💯👏😇

so much info in minutes.Particularly the intrinsic-extrinsic balance is an interesting concept to explore. thanks sparkling eyes :)

For me , I just keep myself positive for whatever situation I may face , either it's work , journey or Challenges . I used to try Even I don't know how it works and how it takes me , because if I don't they , I will never know if I can do it . Without trying I will never know if it works for me or if it can help me . I'm a risk taker which is sometimes I always failed but never stop trying until this time . Your message was fantastic , it's a very powerful shadé . I love all the way how you motivate us. I wanna try this . I love this ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much shadé 🙏

Thanks Shade. When I first started taking Brazilian jiu-jitsu I learned about the power of language on the first day. Whenever my vision started getting blurry and everything was turning dark, I would just say "tap" and everything got better. My motivation to keep going in this art is reinforced each time I am able to offer other people the choice to say that same little three letter word. 😈

If I would have an option of replicating something from you.. it is definitely your speaking skills 🔥🙌🏻 I really love the way to speak !!!!!

I am Really appreciate your way of talking and thinking it's different from others, and first time I watched your video I realized the communication skills is very important to getting success in life thanks

your communication skills is like a soothy..it feels very interactive ...your intonation ,your gestures are superb..please make a video on this to advance in career

Awesome. I keep motivated myself by remembering & giving a better life to my parents, spouse & children's.

i am a fan from egypt, and i woked as a conseling phsycholgist for a while and really i admire your content, you have a good quality and trusted informations, beside that i loved how you are dancing 💕

Well, we all studied physics or have a few knowledge about its laws. It's not just related to cars and aerodynamics and hydro dynamics, but it's related to our daily life as well. Watching your video is good to guide us as people but without our willpower and efforts which are our own actions won't lead to any changes that we want in our life. Be productive and work hard even nobody will appreciate you in the beginning but your actions will force them to notice and acknowledge you at the end, but you will be busy doing your stuff and you won't notice them. Thanks Shadé.

Action fuels motivation is a diamond level statement.......................

Big fan of your work. I'm learning more and more about myself by your videos, always waits for your next video

I’m working towards becoming the richest person in the universe and I’m watching your videos to help me do that.

All the three hacks discussed are quite practically applicable in day to day life, hereby feeding motivation to the doer in small quantity daily.... Simple ideas work 👍👍

Thanks Shadé for these simple and easy hacks! I also choose to inspire people around me and one day to become the leader I always wanted to have 😉

YOU ARE EXCELLENT.I gut lots of things from your talk and I want to thank you so much for such a powerful on me

I am glad I found you, hope more people benefit from your videos. Thanks!

Hi Shade, my names Dr, Omar, currently studying for the Us license exams. Thanks for this video, it made me a little happy and relieved. God bless you.

Hi, Shadé! I Thank You; you've given me so much through just a few of your mesmerizing appearances on your KZfaq channel. You're such a Soothe; just like the songs of the English singer Sade (Shadé). Carismatic, well versed and articulate... what a beautiful selfless soul you are.

thanks,i also learning my English pronunciation thru your videos,you speak clearly

Yes, this is one of the video I m looking for. Thanks for uploading. Very useful.

Again!! Just Looking at you and Listening to You Motivates Me

So excited to be subscribed on here...very positive stuff here

Wow, that language change instantly hit me. Thank you so much!

To make life easy what I experienced is Necessity and duty is what makes life easy. All Actions if done for sake of necessity will then make us do those things with full quality and with motivation associated with duty. Because all unimaginable pursuit by individuals are done with sense of duty. As saying goes " No Man lacks the power unless the cause becomes greater than his life" Other than that things are done for fame, shame, fear, desire, competition, superiority complex, rat race etc. The real reason is duty, Necessity to make difference in our life or others with the power given to us. "With great power comes great responsibility"

Very clear accent & pronunciation. Beautiful video.

Good video been watching a lot of your different videos. You have a great way of simplifying and reenergising me to stay focused. How much I over think things I never really thought about doing the action will help to keep me motivated lol 😂. You just have a great way of conveying your message and helping people. Thanks for helping me getting a clear direction again from your videos..❤

I appreciate your channel and insights! As a record producer/songwriter launching an independent record label, balanced with fatherhood and working I need to list what I call my "macros" for the day, followed by my "micros". If I don't do this the week will slip by... followed by the year. Thanks for the great content!

I am in process of learning and personal development watching your vedios is jn my daily to do list. You know what i used one of your stretegy and achieve a big goal in my careerm. Thank you for helping so many people like me. Stay blessed.

Hi Shade, I love the way you make things so simple to understand and follow. Thanks for your motivation

I loved how simply and amazingly you explained it. I was feeling like you are reading my mind and giving solutions to the core problems that i have been facing for so long.

Amazing thoughts and actionable.. Thanks

Beside those tips on motivation and many other things, I add so many new words to my vocabulary each day. Thank you ShadeZaharai.

Shadé! You are the best. Awesome videos!

I recently came across your channel and I love your advice on all your vids! The last bit about neurolinguistics in this one helped me out a lot! 😀

its a late night and my mind need sleep but still my heart said to watch one more video of your🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 superbbbbbb. you talk all the practically . I am most influence by two person 1. Dandapani and 2. You.

I'll be honest. You motivate a lot of people and recently I'm one of them. It's a familiar yet strange feeling akin to looking up someone famous and successful but it is not. It's a primitive picture like a goddess inspiring and telling mortals to be the best that they can be. It's beyond intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Your charisma ignites motivation and moves things into action. I wonder if there's a psychology paper to this thing? 🤔

Keep going Shadé.

Thank you for this video it really makes diffrence when I say I choose my whole mind tries to fulfill what I choose.

Brilliantly explained.

Thank you! Very helpful message and love your delivery style. 👏

Love to watch your videos, there's something or the other that I could relate with my day to day life.

I work on cultural development so that people with similar thinking can connect with each other and create their culture around the feedback based on their priorities and with other cultures affecting them.

I am not sure how KZfaq knew I was procrastinating, but hey I'm glad I found a fellow Aussie creating great videos on YT! Will you ever consider doing a video on how to get out of your own way in the future? Or discovering your own why?

I get motivation from my dream images that i ve applied on my phone wallpaper 🙂

I am motivated to becoming the best version of myself in life and become an RN, a good triathlete, and having a healthy accomplished family.

Happy Birthday Shade❤️ My motivation always comes from you
