An Exercise In Learning Motivation
The most comprehensive method of “learning motivation” lies within the personal connection we hold with our dream.
There is a depth – a richness – to the energy contained in the yearnings of a dream; and it connects directly with the Essence of who, and what you are.
These feelings – this Energy – are gifts, in a sense. And in one way or another, they do define us, whether it be in a constructive, or destructive light. As we become more familiar with the energy inside these feelings, the easier it will be to direct towards a goal. “Learning motivation” then becomes an experience instead of a process.
Take a moment here to focus on whatever feeling is attached to your dream.
If it’s anxiety, focus on it. Plug into it.
If it’s despair, focus on it. Plug into it.
If it’s excitement, focus on it. Plug into it.
Now feel – look for – the energy, the sparks, behind the feeling. Just the energy. It’s movement. It’s heat, or lightness, or airiness, or heaviness. Just stay with that for a little bit.
Now you’re connected with your feeling – your Energy – on a different level. A level where it doesn’t have to make sense. This is how we experience, or learn of, the motivations that live inside us as individuals.
The purest form of a thought, a word, an idea, an act …is it’s Energy.
The closer we can get to this “pure form”, the easier it will be to let it “act” through us – instead of against us.
This practice of “connecting” (or learning) is something that can be done whenever, or wherever you want. Commuting to work, in line at the checkout, as you drift off to sleep at night, are all easy times to practice.
However …the very best time to “connect” with your dream is when your mind is in its critical mode. Granted, this may the hardest time to do it, but it’s still all about the Energy. The sooner and harder you hit the negative portrayals of this Energy, the easier it will be to fall into this practice.
Just remember …it’s always all about the Energy. “Learning motivation” is an experience, and not a process.
