Dynamic self-motivation

We all experience diverse circumstances in our life journey. Each presenting circumstance offers myriad choices. Knowingly or unknowingly, we make split-second decisions that catapult us in a corresponding direction. Although, our evolutionary state, beliefs, past experiences, personal preferences, habits, and patterns make us more inclined to a particular type of decision, a conscious opportunity (free will) to make the most appropriate choice always exists. The challenge is to be aware of this subtle choice window. Unbeknownst to many, remaining grounded through multi-dimensional, dynamic circumstances; being sharply aware to grab the opportunity, and making the most appropriate choice is a skill. Moreover, standing your ground until the circumstance offers you the choice and living with the aftermath (the desired and undesired outcomes as well as unintended consequences) is a motivation-intensive exercise. Thus, life is about being consciously aware and motivated enough to differentiate the signal (opportunity) from the noise (circumstances) and living through the spiral of circumstances that unfold as a result of the choices. Dynamic self-motivation helps one remain grounded, and unperturbed as well as calibrate a response to the unfolding circumstances. To explain with an example, maintaining a sharp focus on the polestar while continuously navigating through the rough seas helps one survive and eventually reach their destination. In the same manner, one needs to constantly remain connected to their core motivation while dynamically adjusting their inner state in the face of circumstances. This blog is aimed at shedding light on useful insights and sharing solutions that can help fellow travelers learn the art as well as develop this timeless skill.
