Feeling Unmotivated? These Books Will Motivate You To Succeed

A living example of the popular saying "Hard work beats talent", this book proves that the grind is the single most important ingredient in any success story.  A great read or great as an audiobook.

Are you looking for a down to earth, non preachy self help book that is non cliched and untypical of its kind?

Then look no further and prepare to be inspired. Previous self help books have always touted the benefits of making "Lemonade out of lemons". However, Mark Manson's no nonsense and refreshing content, backed by previous research has shown the equally important aspect of success: Learning to deal with those pesky lemons.

It  is perfectly okay to not be plastered with a smile 24/7 or have the perfect nuclear family with a high powered career and complete spiritual and emotional fulfilment all by the age 20. Rather contentment itself is becoming self aware of our perceived flaws, weakness, insecurities to finally  make peace within.

Why is this so important?

Well because once were able to embrace ourselves in it's full entirety than it is possible to grow from a sense of self compassion rather than a place of perfectionism. This no doubt is a sentiment echoed by Mark Manson in his thought provoking book. I also have no doubt you will be provoked with life building thoughts; Provoking a better you as result. It is definitely worth a read.

Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage by Daymond John is a good read if you are in a slump. A lot of times when we feel stagnant in our goals is due to finances or resources. However, the Power of Broke encourages that our creativity comes from our hard times. As a new entrepreneur this book has reminded me to be patient with myself on this journey as slow growth is better than no growth.
