Where Does Motivation Originate?

THE UNDENIABLE DRIVE

Why do people jump out of planes, scale walls, climb mountains, challenge and exhaust themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually, without thoughts of monetary riches become teachers, travel to a country to help people who are starving, sick, or without resources, enter a burning building to rescue others defying their instinct of self-preservation, search for a purpose, and quest for their "Why"? 

The answer is more felt than understood and is discovered in the feeling itself. Some activities allow us to glimpse this feeling, which can be identified when one becomes so focused that one taps into a universal consciousness.

We refer to this as being "in a (the) zone" or "in the moment." In the moment, there is no judgment, and time becomes relevant. All you have experienced in life is, in effect, in the moment, and everything you experience in the moment will be with you forever.

The answer is "The Undeniable Drive". "The Undeniable Drive" is the instinct to survive and the will to live. (This may be akin to the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang.)

"The flesh just wants to survive. The spirit wants to live."
