Motivation – the magnet effect

When we start looking into ourselves and recognising what repels us and what we are motivated towards we can start to make choices that will lead us to environments and activities that we enjoy. 

For example; a bystander observes someone being in the place they want to be and doing the things they like doing, the onlooker sees a happy person who appears attracted by an unseen energy that they describe as self-motivation.  Like a magnet, if the poles are reversed an equally strong opposing energy can be created.  For example the bystander observing someone being in a place they do not want to be, doing the things they do not want to do sees an unhappy person who appears repelled by an unseen energy that the spectator describes as de-motivation. 

The bystander further distils the two scenarios by adding other observations. 

In the case of self-motivation the bystander ads comments such as, hard worker, can do attitude, positive outlook, committed etc.  When considering the de-motivation the bystander ads comments such as lazy, poor work ethic, negative attitude, un-reliable etc     

Everyone has the capacity to be self-motivated, all it takes is an element of self-reflection and a level of personal understanding resulting in the individual becoming more aware of what it is they are attracted toward.  Those who others describe as de-motivated are simply people who have yet to discover their likes/dislikes and take sufficient action to ensure they gravitate toward the things they like.
