This film confirms some issues that I have worked with for a number of years through NLP. It is commonly agreed on the fact that our values motivate us - even sometimes more than money - money is not a value - its a thing. In NLP there is a model called the "neurological levels" by Robert Dilts. It looks like a pyramid shaped hierarchy that starts with "mission", than "identity", than "values", "skills", "behavior" and "environment" - which is all about how one relates to self, others and the rest of the universe. This model promotes the movement from top down which implies that "mission" is the most import issue on our mental map. That is all about the "purpose of life".
What ever this purpose may be, it is personal and extremely motivating - higher than values. This touches in with the motivation of doing something good for the greater whole. This is evidenced by the woman who one the nobel peace prize for working on getting rid of landmines as weapons of war. She was HIGHLY motivated as private person.
The only thing wrong with this model is that I discovered movement from the bottom up. This bothered me until I discovered that there must be a duality of forces at work here. Therefore this illustration.
Until I figure out how to post images here, I will try to update this later.
We can allow our environment to change our mental map, or we can rule it alone being 100% proactive in the construction of this map. With spiritual knowledge comes a new content to our maps. Especially wanderers are discovering their mission and getting very fired up about it - and yes - we don't get paid!
What motivates us..?
