Motivation Requires Heart, Not Ego





"When people want to be liked for what they did,
they should stop."
Karl Lagerfeld

One of the greatest feelings in life is accomplishment!  Actualization of a dream  brings us through trial and error with an array of emotions, but in the end offers an undeniable sense of personal confirmation.  Individual accomplishment is achieved when we stay the course, knowing when to push and when to pause.  It is vital to listen to wisdom, but one must follow his or her own heart.

In the process of achievement, we can be tempted to get caught up in the compliments of others.  We may be so distracted by applause that we crimp on our final touches.  Attention can become a drug replacing the authentic experience of self acknowledgement.

When we put heart and soul into our efforts our outcome will be firmly based; whereas, if we build our project for the recognition of an audience or inflated income the quality of our work will falter.  Nothing is more durable than a job well done with our heart, not our ego.
