Do you ever feel there’s is a greater being inside of you bursting to get out? It is the voice that
encourages you to really make something of your life. When you act congruently with that voice, it’s
like your are a whole new person. You are bold and courageous. You are strong. You are unstoppable.
But, then reality sets in, and soon those moments are history. It is not hard to put youself
temporarily into an emotionally motivated state. Just listen to that motivational song for that matter.
However, this motivation does not stay forever. Your great ideas seem impractical. How many times
have you been temporarily inspired with a idea like, “I want to start my own business.” And then a
week later it’s forgotten? You come up with inspiring ideas when you are motivated. But you fail to
maintain that motivation through the action phase.
The problem we ask ourselves is, why does this happen? You can listen to hundereds of motivational
speakers and experience an emotional yo-yo effect, but it does not fast. The problem is that as we are
intellectually guided, we try to find logic in emotional motivation and as we fail to find logic
eventually phases out. I used to get frustrated when my emotional motivation fizzled out after a
while. Eventually, I realised that being guided by intellect, was not such a bad thing after all. I just
had to learn to use my mind as an effective motivational tool. I figured that if I was not feeling
motivated to go after a particular goal, may be there was a logical reason for it. I noted that when I
had strong intellectual reasons for doing something. I usually did not have trouble taking action.
But when my mind thinks a goal is wrong on some level. I usually feel blocked. I eventually realised
that this was my mind’s way of telling me the goal was a mistake to begin with. Sometimes a goal
seem to make sense on one level but when you look further upstream, it becomes clear that the goal
is ill advised. Suppose you work in sales, and you get a goal to increase your income by 20% by
becoming a more effective salesperson. That seems like a reasonable and intelligent goal. But may be
you are surprised to find yourself encountering all sorts of internal blocks when you try to pursue it.
You should feel motivated, but you just don’t. The problem may be that on a deeper level your mind
knows you don’t want to be working in sales at all. You really want to be a musician. Matter how hard
you push yourself in sales career, it will always be a motivational dead end.
Further when you set goals, that are too small and too timid, you suffer a perpetual lack of
motivation. You just need to summon the courage to acknowledge your true desires. Then you will
have to deal with the self-doubt and fear that’s been making you think too small. Ironically, the real
key to motivation is to set the goals that scare you. You are letting fears, excuses and limiting beliefs
hold you back. Your subconscious mind knows you are strong, so it won’t provide any motivational
fuel until. You step up, face your fears, and acknowledge your hearts desire. Once you finally decide
to face your tears and drop the excuses, then you will find your motivation turning on full blast.
16. What does the author want to convey when he says, “When you look further upstream, it becomes
clear that the goal is ill advised.”?
(1) When you analyse your goal closely you realise that it is not what you thought it would be.
(2) When you work towards dealing with your problems eventually they disappear
(3) When you inspect the problem you realise that the solution is within our reach
(4) When you devise a method of motivating self you must keep analysing it periodically
(5) When you face a problem you realise your incapability of making good decisions.
