Hey everyone,
I was thinking about motivation the other day, and it struck me—what if motivation were a planet? Would it be a lush, thriving world full of life, or a desolate, rocky wasteland where nothing grows? As an exhibition designer, I’m always playing with concepts and visuals, so this idea really stuck with me.
Here’s how I see it:
- Atmosphere: Motivation’s atmosphere would probably be a mix of oxygen (inspiration) and carbon dioxide (self-doubt). Too much of the latter, and the planet becomes uninhabitable. But with the right balance, it’s breathable and energizing.
- Gravity: I imagine it’s lighter than Earth’s gravity—enough to keep you grounded but not so heavy that it drags you down. That said, some days it might feel like you’re trudging through quicksand.
- Terrain: The landscape would be ever-changing. One day, it’s a vibrant jungle full of ideas and energy. The next, it’s a barren desert where even the smallest step feels like a marathon.
I think the key to making motivation a habitable planet is sustainability. You can’t just visit once and expect it to thrive. It requires constant care—planting seeds of discipline, watering them with consistency, and occasionally clearing out the weeds of procrastination.
What do you all think? If motivation were a planet, what would its ecosystem look like? And more importantly, how do you keep your own “motivation planet” from turning into a wasteland?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
