    Default How do you all keep motivated??

    What an irony it is to me to realize that despite my 12 year efforts of working on myself, discovering how the world really is, and generally attempting to live a real life, I still have so much difficulty keeping the motivation to go forward.
    I see my unawakened friends blissfully going about their lives, doing this, doing that, always on the go, generally looking to have a good time and I wonder why am I not the one doing this?!!

    All of us here, knowing what we know can make for a difficult existence, at least for me it is,
    and so please school me on how you all go forward in this life knowing what you know!

    I have been working so hard on myself, yet here I am, no more career, struggling to have just enough money to exist. I don't even have my own place right now and have to rent a room at a friends place, wondering where my life will go.
    I still wonder what will be my life's work once its done!

    I generally feel like some bird who can't fly.
    I jump off the branch, only to fall flat on my belly, a bit bruised but mainly insulted.
    I get all my energy, climb back to safety and just sit there wondering if I should try one more time. After a while, I finally get off my butt and jump again, only to land again once more on the ground. Its been years now where I have tried to fly off and be the great bird I am destined to be, but I can't seem to have the wings for it.


    Keeping motivated to find my true path has been the most difficult thing I have had to do in this life, yet, I know I will have to find the wings soon enough.
    I feel like I am wasting my life away, one day at time and it has to change at some point.

    So how do you all do it?
    Those of you that have found your beautiful wings, how did it happen?

    This may not help but I will say it anyway.

    You have wings now and exercising them offers an element of experience but when one is ready, one will not need them.

    I have a son named Steven. He's two and a half years old now. I have read that kids smile four time more than adults do, but having a kid makes you smile four times more than usual, I found out. :-)

    This is not a solution to your problem, I know. But it is an answer to the question of this thread.

    I do my best for my kid and in the process I am helping myself as well. Sometimes I think that it should have been better to have kids earlier. But who knows if that would be the case, right?

    Maybe it is good to know about the situation in the world, but to not expose yourself to the horror of the wars going on right now. I know the situation in the world without having to know every gory detail. Those details really upset me and it leaves scars on my soul. I don't have to carry the weight of the world and nor should you. And there is so much information out there and it is sometimes so unclear what is true and what is not. Getting all angry about it doesn't help me and therefore it doesn't help the lovely people around me. Do you get what I am trying to say?

    I am not unaffected by what is happening but I watch out to not let it affect me to the point I can't function to the best of my abilities.

    Motivation is more than something that you just do and then you magically feel better. You can't really stay motivated all of the time; there will be moments in your life where you will lose motivation even if you are doing what you love. This means that you have to build habits that will keep you going even when you are un-motivated to do so. Invest time in activities which make you happy! Keep reading some inspiring stories periodically! Music is a powerful way to keep oneself alive!

    "Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air...but only for one second without hope."

    So always have hope and believe in yourself!!

    Motivation, what excellent subject matter! If I was more motivated I would want to understand it better. (a little humor)



    Meditation, Music and Humor help me with motivation but I am certainly not an expert at it.

    Olam. The truth is that there are things you can control and things you can't control. There's no need to overthink about the misery of the world. Do your best. This is all you can do. Don't be negative about the situation as you'll attract more negativity. Surrender to the moment and do your best. My life changed a lot when I stopped expecting things. I got a promotion, got a kid and stayed healthier. Get out of the Matrix like Joechho mentioned.

    I have a daughter, she is 16 now, adopted.
    I can tell you she has saved my life many times.
    Yes, any child will always bring a smile to my face, every time.
    This is a saving grace as well as a burden....
    I love to be there for her, she was born 2 days before me and so we are the same in many ways.
    She truly is a great friend and she needs me as much as I need her, so that is my main motivation.
    At the same time, because I want to be there for her, I prevent myself from going away too far too long.
    I always say that if my daughter was not there I would travel the world and just be.
    I would not try to flee my problems, I would just be the nomad I always been.
    So in a way, its great to be with her and in another way, I am tied to stay close where there are no opportunities for me these days.
    I had past lives sessions done and my daughter saved my life and was there to help me a few times, so in a way I pay her back by being there
    even if it means having a difficult time just getting by.
    Sometimes, being there for my daughter is not enough anymore!

    I have been in that zone in the last year and its helped so much.
    My main problem is the painful reality that we need money to function and right now, I struggle to maintain basic minimum.
    I have to be honest and say that I refuse to work 60 hours a week in a corner store at $10/hr , that would not be living and so I am partially responsable for my problem since I could do that work.
    I also have to say that I have a 28 year career that is no more because of the economic state we are in.
    I used to make 80 grand a year on average and I should be at the top of my economic form right now, so thats why its difficult for me.

    Yes, thanks for this.
    I really don't want to sound so pessimistic, but I been doing this for so many years!
    Its like I need more!
    This being said, you can see how being creative for me is important in that art thread.
    That motivation comes and goes and I don't control it, but I am happy its with me.
    I guess it all boils down to the fact that I have tried almost everything we can think of,
    Ayahuasca, that saved me,still does as I don't feel like a victim of life anymore.
    I been learning all kinds of meditations, many different healing methods, Krishnamurti teachings, Bashar,
    So many hours in my life reading,listening, searching,learning......
    still not there!
    I even did some major healing of being abandoned by my parents for the first 6 months of my life.
    Just to be clear, I was brought to my aunt who took great care of me, but I needed my mother's presence.
    I worked very hard to heal this and I did, but still....I have not found what I'm looking for which is basically what am I here for...

    To each his own I guess!
    The ego subject,....massive subject, very opaque.
    I tried removing it,,,,,imposible
    I tried honoring it.....got out of control
    I tried using it just at the right moment......still sneaks up on me only to realize that to late

    Olam. The truth is that there are things you can control and things you can't control. There's no need to overthink about the misery of the world. Do your best. This is all you can do. Don't be negative about the situation as you'll attract more negativity. Surrender to the moment and do your best. My life changed a lot when I stopped expecting things. I got a promotion, got a kid and stayed healthier. Get out of the Matrix like Joechho mentioned.
    Yes, been on working on those for a while now and have made great progress.
    Surrendering is tricky, again, I tried surrendering fully, but at some point I need to take control of my life in some way.
    I guess I sound negative right now, but no, I just am facing the facts.
    Its difficult to not expect anything when you have 60 dollars in the bank and no new money coming in, but I hear you...

    I have to be honest and say that I refuse to work 60 hours a week in a corner store at $10/hr , that would not be living and so I am partially responsable for my problem since I could do that work.
    I also have to say that I have a 28 year career that is no more because of the economic state we are in.
    I used to make 80 grand a year on average and I should be at the top of my economic form right now, so thats why its difficult for me.
    I finally gave up on finding a full time job that would challenge me and offer me enough responsibility and went into contracting.

Next september I'm going back full times at University. I am 49 years old and lots of hope...

    So I just want to mention that I do thank you all for your input.
    I don't want to sound pessimistic and negative, even if I feel like thats what I am doing.
    I am enjoying everyones input, even if I sound like I have done all that already!
    really, I have to say, I have tried so many things, studied so much, I am at the end of options, so I thank you all for your wisdom.
    At a minimum, its so great to see that I am not the only one in my position...

    I admire your determination, I just never understood how someone can go to university at that age , which I guess means you will keep working on contracts?
    I love learning, I am very much an erudite and love that, but it does not pay the rent!
    I'm 48 myself and would just love to have my career back and get on with living a full life because I can afford it.
    All I wish is to have the means to do what I want to do which would be many many good things for many people including myself and daughter,parents.
