“This article is for normal or common readers, who understand what they read according to their level of understanding. Such understanding of course, depends on many factors, the most important factor is not only their ability to read, but on their ability to understand what they read.”

Being motivated comes from taking your dreams out of the realm of fantasy and starting to make them a concrete possibility. This is the first step in making them a reality.

Motivation is the desire to take action, and the belief that your actions will lead you in the direction you want to go.

To create motivation, to figure out exactly what it is you want to have in your life. Saying ‘I just want to be happy’ is very vague, and our minds cannot grasp hold of such an abstract goal. We need to define our goals clearly in order to know where we are headed, and what we need to do to get there.

Why do so many of us feel threatened when we come across some who has a conflicting opinion than us? Why do we get all defensive and feel rejected when someone doesn’t share the same point of view as us?

Can we all be right in what we choose to think?  Or is anybody who has a different point of view automatically wrong?

Let’s take an example.  Say someone likes the color red and someone else likes the color blue.  They each like different colors so who is wrong?  Nobody each is entitled to like whichever color they like.  There is no right and wrong just whatever works for each person individually.

The way the entity of viral beliefs plugs itself into our brain, and damage our full potential, is so different from how our brain is actually wired, and designed to empower you. Each night, you are vulnerable when you fall asleep as the entities of the viral beliefs pervade our nervous system, and render our state of mind a cacophony during the day.

The experience you are having affects the destination you are heading towards. Because the experience you are having is not entirely yours, it originate from other minds, spreading their entity of viral beliefs into a program that invade our nervous system, then, the mind interpret it as reality.

Persistence does not mean banging your head on a brick wall. Saying that we should never give up does not mean that we should persist in trying to do things in ways that clearly don’t work and bring us pain.

What we should persist with is finding ways that do work and that can bring us closer to the goals and desires that we have. To keep your deepest wishes firmly in mind, and to take steps towards fulfilling them every day, no matter how small those steps may be is smart. To keep trying to get to where you want to be by following a route that has been proven to lead in the opposite direction- not so smart.
