How to stay motivated?

If you ask my opinion then i would say that Trust is very important and highly needed if you want to live a stable life. Following a sikh lifestyle of amritvela, nitnem, sewa & meditation every swaas (breathe) everyday will make any human motivate to do anything. Do not do it for somebody nor test it out. Earn the trust of waheguru by following the path without seeking any materialistic benefits.

Sggs Ang 409 describes Gods play

 
 
आसा महला ५ ॥
 
Āsā mėhlā 5.
 
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
 
 
 
हरख सोग बैराग अनंदी खेलु री दिखाइओ ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
 
Harakẖ sog bairāg anandī kẖel rī ḏikẖā▫i▫o. ||1|| rahā▫o.
 
Pleasure and pain, detachment and ecstasy - the Lord has revealed His Play. ||1||Pause||
 
 
 
खिनहूं भै निरभै खिनहूं खिनहूं उठि धाइओ ॥
 
Kẖinhū▫aʼn bẖai nirbẖai kẖinhū▫aʼn kẖinhū▫aʼn uṯẖ ḏẖā▫i▫o.
 
One moment, the mortal is in fear, and the next moment he is fearless; in a moment, he gets up and departs.
 
 
 
खिनहूं रस भोगन खिनहूं खिनहू तजि जाइओ ॥१॥
 
Kẖinhū▫aʼn ras bẖogan kẖinhū▫aʼn kẖinhū ṯaj jā▫i▫o. ||1||
 
One moment, he enjoys pleasures, and the next moment, he leaves and goes away. ||1||
 
 
 
खिनहूं जोग ताप बहु पूजा खिनहूं भरमाइओ ॥
 
Kẖinhū▫aʼn jog ṯāp baho pūjā kẖinhū▫aʼn bẖarmā▫i▫o.
 
One moment, he practices Yoga and intense meditation, and all sorts of worship; the next moment, he wanders in doubt.
 
 
 
खिनहूं किरपा साधू संग नानक हरि रंगु लाइओ ॥२॥५॥१५६॥
 
Kẖinhū▫aʼn kirpā sāḏẖū sang Nānak har rang lā▫i▫o. ||2||5||156||
 
One moment, O Nanak, the Lord bestows His Mercy and blesses him with His Love, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||5||156||
 
 
Everything happens in just seconds. When he bestows his grace upon anyone, it also just takes a second.

I am a really moody person, i think according to my mood. Sometimes i feel really close to Waheguru, i feel spiritual, but then sometimes i feel far away from Waheguru, i feel logical & scientific. I always try to stay motivated on what is important, but then philosophy kicks in. I feel like i need to become a hermit & start living on a mountain (if you know what i mean). Then another time, i feel as if success is as important as breathing, and that i need to know everything, from politics to poetry. Then another time, i feel careless and that fun is what matters. The point im implying is that does this happen to you too? And if anyone knows the recipe to stay motivated on one important thing, such as Sikhi, please do share. SSA  

I can help, are you prepared to listen?

As veer posted above of guru maharaj mahvak says - 

ਗੁਰਿ ਕਹਿਆ ਸੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਧਰਿ ਹਾਂ ॥   गुरि कहिआ सु चिति धरि हां ॥   
Gur kahi▫ā so cẖiṯ ḏẖar hāʼn.   
The Guru says to install it in your consciousness.  

I is the key here, start witnessing your mind (how I arises, form identifications with thoughts/feeling) see how the drama of mind is being unfolded in form of- thoughts/emotions i feel, i feel like our association with thoughts and emotions etc etc. Form a gap between I (shud surat- consciousnesses without any identification of i am xyz person) by witnessing the mind without judgement - without grasping or without resisting)  and surat identifying with thoughts emotions (ego) feel/emotions/thoughts you will notice - thoughts will loose its power on ya then slowly but surely by maharaj grace- shud surat (consciousness) will merge back to its source, leaving you with internal sehaj- absolute balance- equipoise/chardi-kalah in all situations.

Sikh spiritual path is quite paradoxical, its easy and hard at the same time. Enjoy.

Thank you paji for pinpointing the Panktee above with precision and accuracy.  I hope it will help our brother CEO with his restlessness and uncertainty in his quest. Sikhee is a difficult Marag but not without spiritual joy and fulfilment.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
