Are you more motivated to prevail over everything at a moment when you are very comfortable in life or in a moment when everything seems to be going against you?
There is a presumption that in moments of security and tranquility, we are more likely to become receptive to easier pathways of less resistance because our internal drive is not operating at full measure.
Is that actually the truth or is that just a perception?
I believe that when we look at the large scope of humanity, we would most certainly be able to point to examples, each of which support that proposition, but in general, it appears to me that when we are in a down moment in life, we are more noticeably stimulated to work harder in order that we might extricate ourselves from those parameters, and thereby free ourselves to regain a more comfortable, more safe environment.
The disappointment of watching our lives not proceeding in a direction of our choosing has substantial impact on many components that drive these behaviors, not the least of which is motivation, desire, sense of purpose, and an increased sense of focus.
When circumstances are not operating in our favor, the energy that we are willing to conjure in such a moment, increases exponentially, in order that we might summon all necessary internal resources, to catapult us into a future of our choosing, and remove us from the present circumstances which feel as if they are going to engulf us.
When you find yourself in such a moment in life, recognize that as unfortunate as those moments might be, what is really transpiring is your opportunity to reconnect with your greatest resources and thereby rise above your current predicament and elevate yourself to new chapters of success and prosperity.
Happy Wednesday!
Give a person pleasure and they will forget their goals. Give a person pain and heartbreak and they feel like conquering the world. Hard times can be a blessing, rather than a curse.
