What is the Motivation of Your Life? – Softening into You
Do you often find yourself yearning, chasing after, or searching for something more in your life? And do you put all your eggs in that basket of hopes before you allow yourself to think you can be truly fulfilled, happy, at peace, or able to live in the miracle of you?
Are you in constant competition with others and in fact, even with yourself?
With this perspective of never feeling the contentment, wholeness, and gratitude of what you do have and where you are at right now, you will always have a sense of emptiness and be in the constant race that many have gotten tangled up in – to achieve to some illusory level that when reached will still provide no satisfaction.
You know that there is always going to be something more and of course life is a process of evolution and different things will show up as we journey through our lives.
But when you are always in a state of attached desire that needs more of anything, whether it’s money, relationships, physical ideals, the perfect job, etc., you are feeding a conditioned, perpetual craving, which can become an addiction itself and create more addictions, as well as keep you from being able to see what is right in front of you already.
Do you ever take a moment to really stop and look at what you are feeling inside and how that is creating the manifested results in your outer world? It’s not that desire is a bad thing, but the essence of the feelings behind it and what they are rooted in, can create the unhealthiness around it and a false sense of lack.
If the things you desire are the only and main purpose of your motivation and entire life purpose, then there just might be something more to look at, as this kind of propulsion and driving force can be inhibiting and leave you without sight of why you are really here at the heart of hearts.
It is false that we are a competitive-driven species. This has come to be, as an after-experience. We are truly heart-based beings of sensitivity and Divine awareness that have love as the main propulsion.
I was finishing to watch the documentary “I AM” last night and much of it spoke to the underlying essence of what I felt to share today here. There were some points that stood out, but one interesting note was about Darwin.
It explained how today’s main focus is mainly on Darwin’s Origin of Species, but in the 828 page sequel, The Descent of Man, where he discusses humanevolution, Darwin writes ONLY twice of “survival of the fittest,” but 95 times of love.
I did some further research and found these points as well in Darwin’s writing:
He writes of selfishness 12 times, but 92 times of moral sensitivity.
Of competition 9 times, but 24 times of mutuality and mutual aid.
We are conditioned to believe that we aren’t enough, that we must out-do the person next to us, and that in order to be something special we have to do or have certain things, or that something, by somebody else’s definition of “astounding”, must manifest.
Maybe for just a few minutes in your day you might try letting go of all the constant yearnings, cravings, and wants, and relax into the now moment of receptive harmony of “being”. Place your focus on the invaluable permanence of the “essence” of what satisfies your soul – those foundations that are not attached to any result, but are simply experiences of the wholeness taking place right now within “pure being”.
Feel how that softening opens a space within and around you so that manifestation takes place in flow and mirror of your being like the miracles in nature. They receive just what they need because they do not try to take more – always knowing they are showered in abundance.
