The Tao of Motivation

If you think you need to "get motivated" ... then I'm sorry, but thinks the reverse.

Why?

Since neither the motivation nor inspiration from things that you can get "out there" as if it were something that you can buy in the supermarket.

The tree needed "get motivated" to reach the branches of the sky?

Not a current need "to find inspiration" to flow down to the sea?

They sound like stupid questions right?

But they are no more "stupid", then the idea that you should "get motivated" to see the success, of course destined to be.

The saying things like: "I must have motivated" or "I need to find inspiration" to create a separation within the ... The motivating and motivatee.

This can create an internal script, which will be part of the head of the "Task Master", one of the whip, and the drill sergeant yells, and another part of the "Wretched Slob" who do the usual just to keep the whip off the back. Such internal conflict destructive to the welfare of others, and also a great waste of energy.

This kind of motivation is external and artificial. "True" motivation and inspiration for the interior and they come as naturally as breathing.

You see, four kinds of people. The first is the unconscious incompetent. This is the person who does not even know that they can not. This is the lowest rung of the ladder.

The second type of people are conscious of the incompetent. This is the person who knows that they do not know, but I still do not know what to do. The above model is the "Task Master" and "Wretched Slob" fits this type of man. They consciously want to achieve things, but the inner personality and incompetencies sabotage this desire.

The next type of conscious competence. This is the person that knows what to do, and if you think about it, that you can go ahead and do it. Instead of the "Wretched Slob" this man is probably an internal "Super Star", but it is still necessary "Task Master" of the whip.

The highest-level person, though, is the unconscious competent. This is the person who is so ingrained in them what they need to do is not to be considered. They just do it automatically.

The unconscious is not responsible to any external motivating ... natural motivation for them, the internal state of being.

38. The Tao Te Ching1 chapter begins, saying:

One of the subtle virtue of universal

not conscious, that virtuous

therefore, he is truly virtuous.

Employee motivation, may be amended to say:

One of the subtle universal motivational

not conscious, motivated,

therefore, he is really motivated.

Look at the young children to play. Will need to be conscious motivation to playfully extravagant? Only if the social dented equipment that reduces the natural abundance, and we are forced to artificial motivational systems "so that we can do the things that used to come to us" naturally ".

Here's a personal example, for a long time inside the "Task Master" would always told me to exercise more because I was not a fit and equipment, as usual. I tried all sorts of processes including reward / punishment systems, guidance systems, personal trainers, go to the gym, and the list goes on.

But then in a moment of clarity on the internal wired youth, and said, "Hey!" It would be much simpler if you just did something that you really enjoyed? "

Then I discovered Hacky Sack. The average person in a hacky sack, like a small bean bag, that we should try and keep up in the air just a leg ... just like the pros do with soccer balls to play soccer.

*** I LOOOVE Hacky SACK! ***

Playing Hacky Sack I do not exercise at all ... Not in the sense of "OK now I'm exercising." I was struggling to "practice" once a week, that even after 2 or 3 full, a Hacky Sack in the meetings each day. I grab every opportunity I can to kick that little area of joy in the air!

I went to see an external motivation to exercise, an artificial thing, an 'unconscious competence' state of being. By digging deep inside me, and discovered that my true nature is very playful, exuberant, youthful, and I could discover the "automatic motivation" to participate in exercise.

Now you do not have to "get motivated" to exercise ... I'm just out there and play, because I am motivated to do something inside that I really like this.

And there ... there ... The essence of motivation.

The I Ching (Book of Changes) 2, we find that this is the nature of things in life that ever-changing, always moving, never "motivating" new manifestations. Thus we can say that the "motivation" natural prime mover holds that life is a happy, of course.

When viewed in light of this motivation can be viewed as a central principle, that a lot. So, if you feel you suffer from a lack of motivation, it basically means that you cut off his own inner core of the reservoirs. This means that it is not in tune with the true nature.

Basic level, this is caused by 2 things:

a) There is an internal "blocker" that prevents you accessing the internal motivation of the tank. In essence, the internal "current" is the inspiration of a lifetime has clogged up the debris and equipment.

b) In addition, lack of motivation may be the result of pursuing something that is not really the way to the heart "(which is usually caused because the internal-blockers).

The solution, of course, that these internal blockers, so you are once again integrated into the unlimited reservoir of natural energy, enthusiasm, and motivation. Unblock the dam and the river flows again.

Until you can tap into a source of internal motivation to attempt to "get motivated" only create superficial motivation, because once you stop the motivation process runs out of motivation. Like when you put a coat in cold to warm, but if you take the jacket off cold again.

What you need to do is hit the stage to unconsciously competent, or unconsciously motivated. Be so much a part of the motivation is that not even realize that you are motivated.

You see, that's the secret to motivation ... it's not about how to "get motivated" ...

... But how to "motivation".

Because the truth is that you have the motivation. You just need to clear away the "debris" and let the natural motivation and inspiration to flow forth.
