Growing Pains

As humans, we either fight over dwindling resources or get creative to make more resources. This is how our biology is wired to work. It needs either more of a resource or less of that resource to continue to live. The over-consumption of one resource creates a deficit in other resources that help us move through this endurance race of life. 

Remember, external drivers are powerful. To use such power, you need to feel safe and secure. Your basic needs of food, water, clothing, shelter and security need to be fulfilled. Once these basic needs are being met, we have the power to turn our external drivers into internal drivers. Fueling us to chase autonomy, curiosity, passion, meaning and purpose. 

What I am finding is these two drivers are one. Internal and external drivers need to be blended together. Often times, by separating the two drivers, we lose the power of what they can do together. Pairing them together creates a formula for harnessing happiness. 

Our motivation to accomplish greatness in our life must not be solely seen through what the world wants. It needs to be seen through what it is you need. Stop playing the finite game and start playing the infinite game. You might find a whole new world.
