Why Motivation Won’t Make You a Great Pianist

POURQUOI LA MOTIVATION N’EST PAS LA CLÉ

Have you ever felt a great motivation to start playing the piano, but a few months later, all that energy and enthusiasm seemed to have disappeared?
And now you’re just waiting for that motivation to come back? Questioning yourself if this is even for you. Well, we’ve all been there!
In this video I want to share with you the difference between motivation and discipline, why you need both of them and how they can help you overcome procrastination in your practice.
But first, let’s talk about Why Most People Struggle to Stay Motivated.
One of the main reasons is the lack of Immediate reward. Human beings often seek instant gratification. When working towards long-term goals, the delayed rewards can make it hard to stay motivated, especially if progress seems slow.
Also, we tend to aim for unrealistic goals or to have a lack of clarity. Setting goals that are too ambitious or not having a clear, achievable plan can lead to frustration and a decrease in motivation.
MOTIVATION
So now, Imagine motivation as lighting a match. It’s that initial spark, the exciting burst of energy when you start a new project. It’s powerful, but like a match, it’s short-lived.
Motivation gets you started. It’s the reason you first sat down at the piano, filled with dreams of melodies and harmonies. But relying only on motivation is like expecting a single match to keep you warm all night.
DISCIPLINE
That’s when discipline comes in!
Discipline is an ongoing process, like tending to a hearth. It’s not as glamorous as the spark, but it’s what keeps the fire burning.
With discipline, you practice on a regular basis, even when you don’t feel like it. It’s setting a schedule, creating habits, sticking to it, and slowly watching your skills grow. Discipline is what turns that initial spark of motivation into a lasting flame.
It’s what truly makes us grow in life.
An excellent book about creating habits is Dans son livre, il explique en détail l’importance de construire de solides habitudes pour notre évolution personnelle.
POURQUOI TU AS BESOINS DES DEUX
Maintenant, tu te demandes peut-être, pourquoi ne pas juste compter sur l’un ? La vérité est que la motivation et la discipline se complètent. La motivation est ton point de départ, la raison pour laquelle tu entames ce voyage. La discipline est la carte et le véhicule qui te maintiennent sur le chemin.
Sans motivation, la passion n’existerait pas mais la discipline la rend possible. Ensemble, elles assurent non seulement que tu commences, mais aussi que tu continues, surtout à travers les défis et les moments de doute.
La discipline est quelque chose que tu fais, et choisis de faire ; la motivation est une chose qui peut venir et partir, que tu ne peux pas choisir de faire ou de contrôler.
LA PROCRASTINATION
Alors, tout comme le feu a besoin de nouveaux bûches pour survivre, tes objectifs et tes rêves ont besoin d’un effort continu pour grandir. Alors, comment peux-tu surmonter la procrastination ?
Il s’agit d’utiliser à la fois la motivation et la discipline. Commence par te connecter avec ta motivation. Souviens-toi pourquoi tu as commencé, revisite tes objectifs et visualise ton succès. Ensuite, renforce-le avec la discipline et de solides habitudes.
Crée une routine, divise les tâches en étapes plus petites, écris des objectifs à court et à long terme et célèbre les petites victoires. Souviens-toi, la cohérence est la clé.
Tandis que la motivation est l’étincelle qui allume le feu, la discipline est ce qui le maintient brûlant. Ensemble, elles forment un duo puissant qui peut t’aider à surmonter la procrastination et à atteindre tes objectifs.
