“Reliving past experiences through the lens of soporific sentimentalism, is a time-honored substitute for choosing to create the rest of your life.” ~Will Keiper
Well, when I really got this—when I could really see it—I took it out and I field tested it and experimented with it and found out that it really did prove to be true. That we ourselves are responsible for our own energy levels and our own excitement and our own enthusiasm and we can create it.
It doesn’t come from outside of ourselves. That’s the really big awakening. That’s the real big switch that gets thrown. That’s the massive turnaround that happens in a person’s life, when they finally see that the biological computer (the brain) really works from the inside-out.
Not from the outside in.
Yet, everybody’s confused about it. I get e-mails like, “I want to find something that inspires me. I want to find something that excites me. I want to find something that calls to me.”
And so they are still confused about where it comes from. How it’s generated.
Once I started to really see this inner origin, I wrote a book called 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself, which I wrote after practicing all the techniques my coach was showing me.
I was also meeting many other people who had ways to (in adulthood) get connected again—to turn the energy switch on any time they liked. They knew how to get enthusiastic and not find their purpose, but create their purpose. Develop it. Design it. Make it up. Use it for as long as it was fun and then create an even better one when the one they were using wasn’t as much fun as it used to be.
This was something that became an obsession with me.
I mean, as far as I could see, everybody had this wrong! And I decided to do something about it.
