The catch is... the 'how' is about
automation, not about knowing the mechanics! A person who is really
keen to know how to find it 'within' simply looks within.... and
finds it.... (how do you know what is within
me?..)....
.....
Several problems(of life) find answer
in this one query of 'motivation'....
That is the problem.... that is the
problem why motivation haunts some people!.... (as a kid, I found it
very difficult to find the relevance of that 'moral-science-class'
in our 3rd/4th standard... it was a 'problem' that I could not
solve .... not the understanding of it... the 'why at all'....
whatever was 'prescribed' in those 'morals' was already well covered
under the 'law governing kids'!!! Those days, almost any elder
around seemed to have had an 'equal-unquestionable-right' to admonish
any kid around! That was when I found this 'motivation' to be also a
'need'!!! I needed the motivation to get the 'wheels-of-learning' to
move towards understanding 'moral-science'.... there was a test on
it... another problem!)...
......
Other wise, this motivation really
never bothered me.... Nor did others try to remind me... It was
already an abstract concept... vague too... Somebody trying to
prescribe it to me was almost like inviting trouble for oneself
(!!)... And, not even that spiritual teacher!.... it was the
other way... when it got too much into me, this teacher was
'prevailed upon' by the balancing half to 'de-motivate' me, at least
enough to pay some attention to the family! Now, I got the clue...
what that automation is all about!
.....
These abstract concepts.... each has
one's own opinion... It is like those traffic laws... we comply
with a generally-acceptable-rule only for the sake of uniformity....
Unless,
it does affect us ... our perception
of it.... etc...
...
Something like this must have
happened... otherwise, even I was a bit sceptical about my own
answer !!!

Q:
How do you self motivate yourself?
Ans:
If a tiger is chasing us, we do not
look for any 'motivation' factor to decide whether to run for our
life! The response is faster perhaps than the reaction.... Even on a
hungry stomach, the body is 'ready' to run (no laziness problems, no
lethargy.... even that minor headache takes a back-bench!)...
...
The problem is the absence of fear/threat/security-need/etc... When the nature pampers the people, the whole society lacks that motivating factor... Secure government-job, assured pension... no motivation to work sincerely!
...
The only way is to deepen the perception.... A person with wider and deeper perception has an expanded vision, and finds the priorities getting realigned by themselves deep within... The evolvement happens by itself... That is why the ancient people tried to prescribe a structured pattern of life-style... The present day generation simply threw those values to winds, in the name of 'modernity'!.. Now we keep searching for tools to reinvent the wheel!
