Highest form of motivation!

Anthony D'Mello

Source : James Clear

You must cultivate activities that you love

You must discover work that you do-

not for its utility , but for itself

whether it succeeds or not

whether you are praised for it or not

whether you are loved and rewarded for it or not-

whether people know about it and are grateful for it or not-

How many activities can you count in your life

that you engage in simply because-

they delight you and grip your soul?

Find them out , cultivate them,

for they are your passport to

freedom and to love!

This above text resonates with below text from the TV series:

Mozart in the Jungle

You say Amateur as if it was a dirty word.

Amateur comes from the Latin word - Amare-

Which means to Love -

To do things for the love of it !

My notes:

To do a thing, just for the love of it

And for no other benefits of Utility!

That's what you call the highest form of motivation !

I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
