The world is dominated by social media so its common for people to constantly seek external validation.
Pure motivation ignores attention grabbing quotes that are curated to get views and likes.
Discipline lies within every person, waiting to be utilized.
Why you shouldn't rely on Influencers/Social Media for motivation.
Money
Influencers create motivational content primarily for money. They capitalize on the demand for inspiration and personal development. By producing this type of content, they attract a large audience, gain engagement, and monetize through sponsorships, collaborations, and product endorsements. It's rare to fine influencers that have genuine intentions to motivate people for their own gain. The potential for monetary gain is a significant factor for influencers in this space.
Superficial motivation
Social media entrapped people by showing the glamours highlights of other people's success while it hides the struggle and effort that person put in. Behind the scenes they face trial and tribulation. Then they rely on validation from others to wash away their feelings. This creates unrealistic expectations and perfectionism due to people overlooking the hard work that had to be put in to achieve that.
Lack of Individualization
Every individual possesses unique strength and weaknesses. Influencers are trying to tailor their content to feed consumers by making it appealing to watch while they hide the fact that their approaches are generic and hold no value. Its important that you understand your own values and compare them with your goals to curate an effective strategy.
Transience
The motivation you get from social media is often short lived due to the curated nature of content. The overload of information, dependence on external validation, shallow engagement, and the absence of intrinsic motivation.
