Burning for "it"...
I am wondering how to get others to burn for something, anything, to get them to be so engaged in soemthing that it takes on a almost 'holy' nature for the individual. How to do this? Or is it even possible, I know you can motivate a person to do just about anything, experts will say that it's all about having the correct motivation. But that is not what I'm talking about, I believe the difference between being motivatied to do something and burning for 'it' is a difference as large as night and day. If I burn for something then the motivation to do 'it' is much less, or is it not? Or is it the other way around the more you burn the more you are motivated to do 'it'? I believe if you really burn for something than the motivation to do it comes of itself, and if you just like doing something than the motivation is harder to 'get' or have in the long run. I burn for my family, all the players in the basketball club, all kids I meet in general and at one time golf. These things need no extra motivation for me, I do them because I burn for them, it's like I have to, almost like not having a choice in the matter, the silent pusher of wills if you may.... I wish I could bottle it, sell it to the highest bidder... the true burn for something not of or for oneself.. just because you can't live without it and it burns deep within you being, start today, make a list of all the things you burn for, and see where the motivation comes from, see if you can track it, understand it and embrace it.
