My LAST post I wrote about the 5 Learnings you MUST master in order to Survive and Thrive in this world.  This post can be placed under the Psychology and Self-Cultivation categories.  It is all about motivation.  I try to keep these posts short and not throw around big words.  This whole blog is for people who don’t like sitting in front of a COMPUTER all day reading stuff; which is why one day I’ll put all this in a BOOK form, so you can READ it Anywhere.

This post reads Follow Your Dreams.  Many people hear this and think it’s a nice Idea, but they don’t know where to get the motivation to DO this.  I will tell you a SECRET.  Motivation, INNER motivation, the kind CALLED Passion, the Thing Which makes PEOPLE Do things out of their Own Will and Desire comes from this One Ingredient, UNDERSTANDING!  To understand You MUST read!  Or find a good Mentor Who HAS!  He’ll tell you to READ Anyway!

The other motivation is EXTERNALLY derived.  Really they both motivate.  But with PASSION You do things because YOU want to, because it makes YOU happy, because you Understand Why you’re doing it!  Understanding is a big SECRET.  Otherwise you’ll be motivated by the second mode which I say is External meaning it Doesn’t come from Your understanding, or knowing.  It basically comes from Others like; Parents, friends, television, magazines, books, songs, movies!  This kind of motivation is NOT the FUEL for you!  It is Cheap Fuel!  It will not take you as Far as the MOTIVATION which is born From UNDERSTANDING!  Because When you Understand, you don’t need outside motivation!  You are the source of your OWN fuel!  You don’t need to Ask ANYONE for Fuel.  That’s a secret FOR you; UNDERSTANDING!  Be patient because Good, Powerful, Life changing things take time to Accomplish.  But Keep Going!  Those voices, or outside Sources of Cheap fuel will not bother You as much over time.  They will always Be offering you their Expensive AND Low GRADE fuel but You won’t NEED it!

This whole Blog will be about Increasing YOUR Fuel, so You can, Follow Your Dreams, and depend Only on Yourself; Your Understanding.  

So Motivation, I’ll give you a widely KNOWN saying so you CAN easily Remind yourself Why all this is important And every time you remember It you increase you Energy; Your FUEL.  I’ll break it down for you Also in Creative way So you can begin to UNDERSTAND for yourself.  Creativity is also Something which will Increase Over time For you if you Read and Practice the information from this BLOG.  

The Journey of a Thousand Miles STARTS with the First STEP.

The Journey is Your Journey!  It’s whatever YOUR Dreams are!  Hopefully they are BIG dreams and benevolent!  The single step, and Every step after, are the ACTIONS you take towards your GOALS or Dreams.

Now, like I wrote before, People hear this and they think it’s nice for a While and then feel, “This is impossible!”  I want to examine the reason Why it Feels this way.  Why it feels Daunting!  Remember the talk about Fuel, INNER Motivation?  This is the Reason, You are short on Understanding so your Fuel or ENERGY TO walk towards your Dreams is low.

So I will get into a subject which will help you Understand.  Its something to contemplate, because remember Change isn’t so easy so sometimes YOU will need to transform the WAY you THINK or view YOUR life in order to CHANGE it.  

THINK Long-Term!  When you think You have to accomplish HUGE DREAMS Before YOU die or in a limited amount of Time it feels like You have to PUSH, rush, Full speed ahead, ALL this on LOW GRADE Fuel!  Ahh!  

Now, what if you didn’t worry HOW long it took?  What if you could take your time and LEARN a SKILL at a pace which is MORE reasonable For YOU?  If you are willing to transform your views on How much TIME you have YOU can take YOUR Time, Increase Your INNER FUEL, AND stop worrying.  In other words, You’ll be more efficient.

You have unlimited time!  Yes, that’s right!  Think of THIS life as ONE day in the MANY lives Ahead!  YOU will live INFINITE lives after this one.  But it’s up to you What shape they will TAKE.  A good life today is rewarded with a Good Life tomorrow.  A life of service, of benevolence, Virtue, and Understanding BREEDS similar opportunities in THE NEXT!

Today I studied and practiced TOMORROW I will have improved.  This LIFE is preparation for THE next! And EVERY life YOU continue TO BUILD!  

Use whatever HELPS YOU!  Make sure Your DREAMS are BIG, with ALL the time You’ll Need, you can!  Also, make sure your dreams include Giving Back, Helping others in Some way, Get Creative!  Always include this ingredient in Your Dreams.  It is also what Makes up Your FUEL!  You MUST include benevolent Actions, Giving back, Charity, Generosity, Good deeds, Virtuous Conduct in Your Dreams!  Give WISELY!

There will always be roadblocks, accidents, problems that arise in YOUR journey!  Always!  It has to do with the Actions in your past Lives, and the fruition of their Consequences.  We have lived infinite lives before, So don’t think this LIFE is a perfect and EASY!  You’ve done plenty of Unvirtuos and Evil deeds in the past, PLENTY!  And some day their consequences will Manifest in your life.  

I will write more details in future Posts about how to smoothen the journey to make any CONSEQUENCES from past actions less stingy or troublesome and more manageable.  In the meantime, Refine YOUR FUEL, fine tune It AND ALWAYS do so!  Endless Lives ahead You MUST learn many things in order to SURVIVE and Prosper!  Follow Your Dreams!
