The general consensus has it that motivation is something that we “muster up” within ourselves. But what is the core – the essence of motivation?

Questions :

What does it mean when a surge of energy passes through you when the love of your life walks through the door?

What does it mean when the anger in a room stands the hairs on the back of your neck on end?

What does it mean when you know something good is going to happen, and it does?

There’s a world of energy swirling around us, and it’s playing a big part in our lives. Correction : It is our lives. This very energy is the core – the essence of motivation.

The facts and premises are there. Physics. Chemistry. A kazillion laws on this dynamic, and that dynamic. We get it. This is an ordered, and structured universe.

And yet – it’s the things we don’t see that have the most pull. And this is exactly what motivation is : a pull, from within.

This article is about self motivation via energy dynamics. Why “energy dynamics”? When we look at the dynamics of the mind, or of the spirit, or of feelings, the one consistent variable inside all these areas is ENERGY.

I’m a firm believer in getting to the root of an issue when a question burns in my soul. I wanted to know – I’ve always wanted to know – why so many things don’t make sense while at the same time, so many things do. I learned that my eyes “do deceive” me when I rely on only what they see.

And I needed to know why, and how, a dream could burn inside me, as I sat and watched my life go by. So – I sought to understand “this burn” inside me.

Some where along the line I began to “sense” that my rational, logical mind didn’t have, or couldn’t find all the answers. I began to become aware of a part of me, way deep inside, that held a knowing, or a “know to do” inclination. The closest word I can think of to describe it is instinct.

It was an instinct born of self, and born of the world around me. It then became apparent that “this burn” was connected to the world around me just as richly as it was connected to me. It was Energy. It was my source to motivation. And it was made up of MY power to change the world around me.

Energy …it’s something you can control and understand without having to drag in issues, or ideas, or dramas from the past; the same issues and dramas that brought you to this point. Sometimes – sometimes – a clean start is the best approach.

This approach can utilize past issues, but only the “energy” contained inside them. Thoughts, ideas, and beliefs stay there – in the past.

We see, we feel, we work with energy – with vibes – everyday. This series seeks to work with the energy that’s seated inside of us. This same energy, that ultimately determines our quality of life, and motivates us in the expression of our dreams.
