James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, says that most people misunderstand motivation. They think that motivation is what gets us to take action. In reality, motivation is often the result of action, not the cause of it.

This means most of the resistance when working on your goals comes right before we start. Since motivation naturally occurs after we start, we need to focus on making starting easier. Starting is easy when you know exactly how much closer your current actions will bring you to achieving your goal.

This type of motivation is from external factors. It can be either positive or negative. Positive motivation consists of incentives like money, prizes, and grades.

Negative motivation consists of deterrents like being fired, having a fight, or being fined. Keep yourself accountable by telling friends and family your goals, or even sharing them on social media. The goldilocks zone is when a task is the perfect level of difficulty—not too hard and not too easy. In this zone, we reach peak motivation and focus. The Goldilocks zone is in the middle of that spectrum.

You want to face someone with equal skill as you. That way you have a chance to win, but you have to focus and try for it. Adjusting your workload and goals over time to stay within your Goldilocks zone keeps you engaged and motivated long-term. Being intrinsically motivated to achieve a goal is when you want to achieve it for what it is. There are no external factors like a reward or the risk of being fired.

The drive behind your actions is coming from within. For most intrinsic goals we pursue them because they will enrich our lives or bring us closer to fulfillment. That makes these goals extremely sustainable long-term because they directly affect our quality of life and the things we care about. Chunking is the technique of breaking down a goal into smaller short-term targets.

By doing this you achieve multiple successes in your pursuit of the main goal. Traditionally, you may set a goal that you expect to achieve in one year. By chunking your goals into monthly or quarterly targets, you get the consistent positive reinforcement you need to stay motivated long-term. For example, instead of trying to lose 50 pounds in one year, try to lose 4 pounds every month for 12 months. Things happen along our journey that we can either adjust to or quit because of.

If you expect everything to go perfectly, the inevitable failure can make you disengaged and desireless. When you plan for things to go wrong, you make sure you can keep up for the long haul. Ad-libs Made Famous.

What I mean is, I think the proportion of girls who see movies like Mighty Ducks versus the proportion of boys who see movies like, say, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is very different. Had the audience for Lord of the Rings been as gendered in either direction as Sex and the City, it could never have been the hit it was. The upshot seems to be that girls see guy movies, more than guys see girl movies.

I think it plays to a false divide and perhaps limits them from being as good as they can be, as movies. Attempting to be brief: I never had any intention of slamming the montage for this. I just saw it as a jumping off point and excellent gathering of evidence to overthink inspirational speeches in movies and gender.

I only starting looking for suggestions of female speeches because that would tend to weaken my argument that they are disproportionately not there. Love the piece. If you ever do one again, throw in something from the speech in Boondock Saints, the speech they give when they kill someone. Siwi — Thanks so much for your comment. I also think you touch on something very true, about the intersection between irony and earnestness.

After it was done, a guy asked me if the performance had been sincere or ironic, and I sort of shrugged at him. It really does hit this sort of weird sweet spot where I enjoy it simultaneously on two levels. Let me try and use it. The disproportionate gender balance is an interesting issue. The mom in Mary Poppins pretty much just exists to give feminists a bad name.

The Babylon 5 speech is indeed cool. Otherwise, there definitely would have been Buffy in there. So people, what are the great inspirational movie quotes by women? IS there anything from T2 or Aliens? I actually watched G.

The soundtrack is full of stirring, inspirational stuff like that. I find it refreshing. And really, the lyrics are pretty tongue-in-cheek. The crazy feminists like her in the suffrage movements both in Europe and here helped drive the men in power holding back their right to vote over the edge.

The only improvement I have found would be to let the music complete or fade more gracefully at the end. Powerful — but just too short! These are awesome clips that because most are familiar leave me wanting about 20 seconds more of each one! It is interesting how some of these story lines become a part of our lives.

Nice compilation job. I liked how you built the story line clip by clip. Your efforts are appreciated! And your site name gives me a good smile as well! Hey that is cool. We needed inspiration. And we get it in spades. You sir, are a legend :. But one of the rules I was trying to stick to is no actor appears more than once.

And there was really no place for the flamethrower line. Also, points for using Street Fighter. I would like to see a list of the movies these clips are from. I recognize plenty of then braveheart, newsies ; , etc.

I really love the speech in Newsies! You say potato, I say potato. Can you? Thanks for sharing. Great stuff u got there guys!! I still love to watch it till todays. Thanks again for the Inspirational Speeches. I heart Jimmy Stewart and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. For fun I subtitle vids for the Deaf and Hard of hearing. Can I use the transcript to subtitle your vid? Would like to give it a try please. That was great. Should have been way longer and it needed the Paul Newman Slpashot speech as as well as a speech from Mick in Rocky.

Can you dig it? Caaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn yooooooooouuuuuuuuuu diiiiiiiiiiggggggggggg iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt? This is way cool and so freaking creative!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone.

I do believe your inspirational objective was achieved. Awesome Job!!! Happy Holidays to everyone. Matthew- this is unbelievable. I think the reason this works so effectively, and why such speeches in movies work in general, is because they ARE so silly; so bombastic. The kind of movies whose speeches are collected in this seconds of joy here celebrate the latter while condemning the former, in some plot related way. He stood and fought, even when hopelessly outnumbered, and never gave up.
