How to motivate you

What can I do to motivate you? What can anyone do? Motivation begins and end with you.

Now you are sitting there, reading this, questioning what I'm saying, wondering what I want and if what I say is true or not. But you should not be thinking of me, you know who you should be thinking about? You should be thinking about YOU!

That's right! You are sitting there, and now I'm putting the spot light on YOU! The spotlight is hot and uncomfortable, it is much easier to be the viewer than the one on stage. But I'm not going to let you slip away from the spotlight, oh no. I'm putting you right here where I'm standing and shining a bright light right on you.

It's much more comfortable sitting in the dark, no one to see you, no one to judge you. But there, in the dark where you sit, you can achieve anything, you have nothing to gain. Nothing to gain, but also nothing to loose, which is why you stay.

How do I move you from this place of useless comfort? Being too comfortable to move is not a good thing. Nothing good ever came out of it. Nothing bad either. Nothing comes out of it period. As Newton once stated, an object in motion will tend to stay in motion, and object not in motion will remain so until acted upon by outside forces.

So what outside forces can be used to motivate you to do what it is that YOU want?

I'll shine the light on you again, this time it is brighter and hotter then ever!

Just like when you turn over a walk and the icky slimy things suddenly are revealed to the light.

They go CRAZY! They want to get out of the light, anywhere but where they are now! Like they were dropped on a hot sizzling saucepan. They'd put they're life in danger to get away from where they are now. They swim through fire, walk through pain. Run anywhere their legs would take them.

That is how you need to feel!

I'm shining the big hot light on you, making you feel more uncomfortable then you ever felt before, and no matter what you do to try to push that light away it is too bright, and I am too mean and evil. You cannot ignore the bright light, it's too hot, and you can't make me turn it away, I'm too strong and evil. Your only option is to run, GO CRAZY!!! Thrash around and move your weight. Do everything you can to find that safe cold and quiet place of comfort.

But where did it go?

Find it quick!

It's sitting there, on the other side of gold and riches. It's sitting on the other side of success and your life's dreams! Run to it! Fight for it! Barge through fire and ice and cutting steel to get to it because you'll never find comfort until you do, I'm shining a light into every hole you might hide in. You have no safe place to hide on this side of the fence, you are helpless here, and you cannot ignore it.

Run fast, run away. Run from your laziness, run from your sorrow. Run from all your waiting in shadows. Run fast and run long, for I have come to shine a bright light into all the dark shadowy places of your soul, and there is nothing you can do to prevent me from bringing to light all the evil inside.

Run now towards success, because you have no more options left.
