What Motivates You?

The root of what motivates me does not come from external forces. I don’t give a hoot about how much money I make, whether I’m famous or not if I had academic degrees coming out of my ears or if I have the mind and body of a superstar athlete. It won’t get me out of bed.

What will get me out of bed is the prospect of enjoying what is my life. There are plenty of forces to make sure that you do not enjoy life. Just ignore them. You are the life ,are and you are it’s very spirit, it’s fire .The life force you enjoy does not depend on your looks your intelligence or even your attitude, it depends on you.

You can choose to listen to the external forces telling you what you should be doing or you can listen to what they are recommending and figure out what’s best for you. We are sold to on a daily basis , but we can choose not to buy, but to consider what we really do want in life and work towards that.

For example, there’s a voice inside my head constantly telling me I’m no good. I never really believed it , I know there are people much better at doing certain things than I am, but I always figured that was a good thing, because even if I wasn’t talented and able to do what they were doing , well there was probably something I could do that they couldn’t and that was how the World worked. There is a place for everyone and a role for everyone and without each other , well things would not work.

The calculable and quantifiable characteristics of human achievement are over analysed; and dare I say it ;over judged. Get out of bed and do the things you enjoy doing, that make a difference to you and others around you. Maybe you do have to spend some time doing stuff you don’t want to do to, but that doesn’t define you or indeed turn into your reason to be.

There are plenty of users in this World , but they are the losers, because the winners spend time avoiding them and in truth the users end up in uncomfortable beds that they made from stealing the pillows, sheets and duvets from other people. No one finds them interesting because they’ve just damaged their surroundings and all they’ve got left is an unmade bed.

Yes, the Life Force does exist and it motivates me to get out of bed (metaphorically speaking) every day and make the most of my Life. May your Life Force be With You too.
