We all are motivated-either positively or negatively. Make sure how you are motivated...
This is the story of two brothers being motivated by their father.One was a drug addict and a drunk and who frequently beat up his family. The other was a very successful business man who was respected in society and had a wonderful family. How could two brothers raised by the same parents,brought up in the same environment, be so different?
The first brother was asked," What makes you do what you do? You are a drug addict, a drunk, and you beat your family. What motivates you?" He answered,"My father.My father was a drug addict, a drunk and he beat his family.What do you expect me to be? That is what I am."
The second brother was asked."How come you are doing everything right? What is your source of motivation?" And guess what he said? "My father.When I was a little boy, I used to see my dad drunk and doing all the wrong things.I made up my mind that, that is not what I wanted to be."
Both brothers derived their motivation from the same source, but one was using it positively and the other negatively.Negative motivation brings the desire to take the easier way which ends up being the tougher way.
