Motivation from a Spiritual Standpoint

What motivates? How often is it a desire to have what we see in the possession of others? We do what we do to succeed, which is a competition. This is a human contrived process to create division. Think of the musical savant that could not operate under the contrived expectations of others. He is homeless and quirky, but still plays like a virtuoso. He is as much a genius as the man in the tux at the performance hall. There is enough for everyone. We create limits on how many people can succeed to fit our brains limit to conceptualize the world. These limits are false. Like the movie where a boy spends his whole life in an idyllic small town. Once he is grown up, he wants to see more of the world, but is discouraged by everyone around him. He sets off in a boat to find new shores. He docks on the other side of the lake to discover there are painted trees and a utility door. He exits the door and finds himself on a TV set. His life was a highly popular, scripted TV show. We have a spirit to guide us; we need to stop giving ourselves scripts to help us fit in. Motivation guided by integrity is an instinct. It fits that others envy people who are willing to be self-guided. Pick where you are going from the inside and pursue it relentlessly.
