If It’s Not Working Change It Up!
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Maya Angelou

Here is my quick thought. Enjoy!

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Sigmund Freud
To heal you must feel that pain and confront the suffering. For whatever your sufferings are if you do not confront them, reflect on them and let them out they will bind you.
Society has created and offers us many ideal ways to cover our sufferings through short-term and immediate pleasures. These will not heal suffering; they will numb but not heal. To heal you have to reveal. To progress you have to express.
Enjoy this thought. Be inspired. And express your authentic self as often and as best you can. Comments welcomed below.

Payoff: The Hidden Logic That Shapes Our Motivations (TED Books)
by Dan ArielyIf you are looking for insights behind human motivation you will benefit from reading this book. Dan Ariely addresses the topic beautifully. Whether you seek greater self-motivation or wish to improve the motivational influence you have on others at the work-place or in your personal life this book will help you “think more deeply about the effects of your approach.”
Over the years partly in experience and partly in learning I have certainly become more motivated towards most areas of life. I feel that motivation to act has mostly come easily to me and perhaps it’s a by-product of my lack of patience. I just want things to happen quickly when I set my mind on something. I think just as quick as I act which on occasions can get me in trouble.

Whatever the case I am highly motivated and many of the concepts and ideas Dan shares within this book I can relate. His research mostly revolves around the motivation aspects of the workplace however much of the findings relate specifically to the individual. These insights at some level relate to us all and may even give clues into how we can better live life. (more…)
