Many times in the journey of development, a fundamental question arises, from the person or the environment: what is my motivation? What should lead me to choose the authentic and good choice for me? Is it an internal or external engine? Should I trust the spirit world to give me the motivation? Should I create it myself? And if so, in what way?
The question of motivation and strength for development starts from the premise that life energy is a limited resource.
Abundance and lack of energy are temporary states and one finds oneself shifting one’s attention between them whenever one asks this question. Sometimes the legality of the transition between them is clear to a person, in states of strong and clear desire, emotion, or thought. But in most cases, people concentrate on the content of the choice and not on the way they are used to making the choice.
The first step in development is knowing how to go through life’s lessons and learn the issues that the soul wishes to be taught. Therefore, the starting premise is that how reality behaves towards the person learning the lesson, is how the person behaves, speaks, and manages his inner world.
In other words, the way a person chooses the transitions between the states of lack and abundance is the same way his desires and thoughts will come true. The level of faith and the content of his free choice does not depend on the story he tells himself about himself, but on the way he tells it. His human development requires him to be the main character and the author of the story at the same time.
The question of motivation in this article is based on the premise that motivation is not a limited state, and as a result, it is also not a temporary state that must be wondered how to preserve. Maintaining motivation is an assumption that one’s inner strength is lacking, and is therefore not relevant to personal development.
Motivation is a state in which the frequency of the incoming energy is the same as the frequency of the outgoing energy. It is important to note that identity is not equality, energy can be the same but not equal. Equality is also a question of temporary value, just like lack and abundance, and is therefore not relevant to the discussion of motivation.
The motivation is existence. The very fact that a person can recognize himself in the space and identify with the definition he recognizes is a sign that he is motivated. The question of motivation begins when self-identification includes additional elements that are not part of existence and the person fails to link them to his existence. The will, thoughts, and feelings are also independent existences. The attempt to make them belong and establish exclusivity on them is what lowers motivation. A person feels a lack of energy when he fails to connect something he thinks should belong to him to the way he recognizes that he exists – that is, to his story about himself.
The way to maintain awareness of one’s existing motivation is to avoid the margin of error. That is, not to wait for the incompatibility with authenticity to become a real disturbance in life, but to prevent in advance the possibility of not listening to an emotional principle that intuition has confirmed as part of the internal system. A kind of “preventive medicine” that leaves the user stable and independent in the space of principles that he chose, without trying to change through them, but with an attempt to change them.
