Motivation And The Wobble
What motivates us? Is it negative experiences or positive ones? It all depends on what it is that reminds us of our objective in any situation.
Only wanting positive experiences while ignoring the negative doesn’t provide the friction needed for change to occur.
The first step towards enlightenment is recognising the negative as positive.
When consciousness realises ultimate truth, we stop judging experiences as good or bad, or as events that we either like or dislike. Instead, every occurrence gives us direction.
It’s not a matter of being perfect. It’s like wobbling from side to side as we traverse a straight line; we’re still moving in the right direction, depending on the size of wobble. π
