Two Way
Motivation
It's easy to "perform" when there are
some strong incentives.
If you had a pretty good job, with
pretty good money, and had to be
there every morning at 7 AM, you
wouldn't have a problem waking up in
the morning.
Having an external, negative incentive
(you'd get fired if you showed up late
too often) is one strong motivating
factor.
Most of us are driven largely by
negative incentives, or by pain.
Meaning we are more motivated to
move away from pain than we are to
move toward pleasure.
For example, you'll find no shortage of
"diets" that famous people follow to
lose weight in order to get those
awesome looking bodies we see in the
movies.
But here's the thing.
If YOU were going to get a few million
dollars to be in a movie, but the ONLY
way you would get it if you got
yourself in really decent shape, you'd
have NO PROBLEM doing so.
It's not really the specific diet that gets
them into shape, it's the motivation.
Not only negative, but also positive.
Meaning on the one hand, they're
terrified of losing out, and getting
rejected by Hollywood.
But they're also thrilled at increasing
their fame and social status.
This is what happens when you figure
out how to be motivated not only by
moving AWAY from pain, but TOWARD
pleasure.
Most of us move away from pain just
long enough so we can sit on the
couch in front of the TV for a few
hours.
Those that figure out to move toward
pleasure, as well as away from pain,
tend to do much, much better in life.
Of course, the first thing you need to
do is establish your own personal
pleasure you're going after.
I'm not talking about short term
pleasure, like that ice cream in your
freezer.
I'm talking about huge, long term
pleasure out in the future.
A perfect relationship, a great career, a
feeling of spiritual peace and
connection.
Those things will simply not happen if
you're ONLY motivated away from
pain.
The thing is that all of us, on a very
deep and fundamental level, are hard
wired to WANT those things.
Those perfect relationships, careers
that maximize our skills and
intelligence while filling up our bank
accounts.
But they don't happen naturally.
You've got to get up off the couch and
get moving.
Sometimes for a while before you
figure out where you're going.
Before you get on the path you KNOW
is the right path for you, there will be
some trial and error.
This is normal, natural, and part of the
process.
Otherwise, you wouldn't feel that thrill
of discovery when you DO discover the
right path.
One way that can help considerably is
to open up your higher self.
Get in touch with the part of you that
is waiting to be pulled toward the
light, rather than merely away from
the darkness.
Once you discover the light within, it
will be much easier to find the light
without.
