I am an aspirant (first time I ever had that word pop into my head) I am rarely not very highly motivated to improve life for myself and others. I'm helping friends build cupboard in their bathroom for nix on Sunday. As they live in a house in the forest, that white ants must all agree is quite delicious.
I am a person who is very easily contented with very little.
I have travelled for years in my van and can carve a dragon an eagle or whatever out of driftwood etc. I recognize that motivation is strongest in me, when I feel dismay at something that is definitely a big problem and I feel I can most definitely do something about it. Yep, that's what mostly fires me up.
I turn on my computer each day on waking up, like now, and either immediately or after a cup of tea, I sit and do an email check, then I return back to the setting up of my business.
I wake at night sometimes motivated to sit for an hour or so, huddled in the cold, with a blanket around me typing, if an insight wakes me and feel motivated to get up and record whatever my mind told me is important, I record whatever it was that stirred me. I have not always happy to do that, but if it's something that has got to get done, I get up and do it.
I am 70 in October, and well recovered now from a long-time injury though to my dismay I am not at all financially solvent, with many things needing doing that require finance to resolve them, and this annoys me, and I feel motivated.
Times ticking and I really do have a come unity project that will delight inform and surprise. As a trainer of 53 years' experience and I really do need to get it launched, as my contribution will most definitely make a very big difference!
Motivation is different for us all. My parents were both Orphans. I have had extremely poor beginnings and due to life events like losing many things to last year's flood, I currently have temporary accommodation in a building site hut.
It is twenty steps to a large swimming pool looking down into a valley on a friend's multi-million-dollar property. However, I need to remain in task mode daily, till I am living a very loving comfortable shared life with my partner when she shows up.
Public exposure of my work and facilitating workshops again will generate the ongoing income that will support all of that and so I am motived. What is behind my motivation, I had not really thought about before.
I wish to thank you once again for another insightful question. It is Dismay, is that truly Motivates me, I hadn't really thought about this before.
Cheers,
Johnny
