Motivation - Six Reasons Why You're Probably Unable to Choose your Dream

noreply@blogger.com (Roberto Fiad) — Sat, 06 Feb 2016 22:16:00 +0000

Different people are moved to do different things for different reasons and are motivated by different needs. They also are moved to do nothing at all for different reasons and are demotivated by different needs as well to do nothing.

The Benefit of Checking out for Reasons Why

If you find that you're having trouble choosing an ambition or recognizing a calling, then think why this is happening in you. It could save you some unnecessary heartbreak in doing this exercise of checking out for reasons.

Six Points to Ponder

It could be that someone else chose a goal for you that you haven't accepted.
It could be that you're not interested in doing anything with your life right now.
It could be that you simply are protesting having been born and regard being on earth is an existence and not a life.
It could be that you've been raised to fear life and have accumulated a large deficit of negative experiences that you're now reluctant to do anything.
In some ways related to reason number 1 that I stated above, the reason why your life is going nowhere forward is that you refuse to live up to responsibilities that others choose for you and that if you're going to take on any responsibility at all, it had better be something that you chose for yourself because you're demanding a certain reward.
You refuse to do thankless work or accept anything that will not compensate you enough to warrant doing some work.

This article describes and tries to explain why so many of us who have aptitudes enough to live productive lives are not taking their lives anywhere.

Drilling Down Deeper

It could be that someone else chose a goal for you that you haven't accepted. Many parents have the tendency to live vicariously through their children and too often they choose their children's careers before these are born.

And too often those children, when they grow to adulthood, fail to live up their parents' vicarious ambitions for them and that happened because their hearts just weren't in it.

Philosopher Khalil Gibran wrote to parents and said, "Your children are not your children. They are the children of life." They were born through you but are not your possessions and you are not their owners. If you cannot stand to realize this, then don't have children. It's that simple.

It could be that you're not interested in doing anything with your life right now. There are not that many people who know their calling from an early age. Some people will take up whatever they can as a way to make a living in order to have a living and pay for their needs and wants.

Some will seek instructions from God and ask for His plan for their lives. I applaud that. However, it doesn't happen with everybody. Others will choose careers that follow from the values they've chosen to embrace or lack of values that they should have embraced but didn't.

It could be that you simply are protesting having been born and regard being on earth is an existence and not a life. I remember reading in history books about two major wars based on Napoleon's invasion of Russia and Hitler's invasion of Russia.

The reason I mention those two seemingly unrelated concepts is that whenever a foreign enemy would invade Russia, all the crops, lands, and other resources would be destroyed by fire before the enemy invaders would seize them for their own use.

This tactic or strategy was termed "Scorched Earth." It proved effective during both military conflicts. The military invaders' soldiers would be starved, fall too ill and weak to continue fighting, and in the end, the Russians would drive them from Russia.

It could be that you're so unhappy with your life, that you're scorching your life before it can benefit those whom you believe make you unhappy so as to deprive them of being able to exploit you for their ends.

It could be that you've been raised to fear life and have accumulated a large deficit of negative experiences that you're now reluctant to do anything.

It happens that many people are so frustrated and so disappointed with negative experiences that they're totally discouraged from even trying to do something more with their lives.

This happens a lot with people who were brought up by overprotective parents or guardians who out of love or fear simply stunted them. Such parents have no business raising chilren!

The reason could be that you refuse to live up to responsibilities that others choose for you and that if you're going to take on any responsibility at all, it had better be something that you chose for yourself because you're demanding a certain reward.

The thinking behind this is that you're not going to permit or authorize anyone else to live your life for you. If you're going to take on any responsibility, it's going to have to be on your terms or you had better have some say in the matter.

You refuse to do thankless work or accept anything that will not compensate you enough to warrant doing some work. Who want to work for peanuts? That's what school is for. That's why it was illegal to teach slaves to read and write.

I remember an episode of Roots in which the late actor Robert Reed portrayed the role of a slave owner who was explaining to the character being portrayed by Linda Day George that it was wise to deprive slaves of the ability to read and write because they would realize how unhappy their lives were if they learned how to think.

In Conclusion

By now, you can probably conclude that one of these reasons apply in your case if you find yourself demotivated or unable to rise up to choose an ambition or set a goal.

Everything from having others live vicariously through you to lacking interest, to being resentful of having to serve in a life you never wanted, to being fearful out of discouragement, to insist on having a say on what responsibility you're willing to shoulder, to demanding adequate compensation for your labor have been touched on as possible causes of not being able to choose a goal or ambition.

I'm sure that there's a whole lot more out there to consider as likely demotivators but other writings will have to be produced to treat them.

Despite the insufficiency of space and time to exhaust this topic in the span of a single article, the description and explanation offered here should get you thinking if you're having too much difficulty in choosing your ambitions in life.

Signs of the Future

One of the top axioms that should be paramount in the mind of the college-bound avoider of hassles is that you need to calculate the future odds that your college major will pay off with a worthwhile job or career.

This is the Price I Paid for Using Bad Judgement

I didn't do that between the ages of 18 and 22. I refused to read the handwriting on the wall. My parents wanted me to go to college and study something. So I majored in what I thought would be a career that would take care of me after graduating.

I majored in Graphic Design and graduated at the age of 22 in 1981. I failed to break into the industry. I couldn't do paste-ups or mechanics. I was horribly inaccurate and sloppy and I hated it.

I couldn't do packaging either. In fact, I was even worse at packaging than I was in preparing the mechanics (camera-ready artwork).

Thankfully, my father then had a nice family business, a dry cleaning, linen service, and laundry plant. I went in there and spent the next twelve or so years doing the clerical bookkeeping work there.

Also, the student loans were wiped out in eight years.

Now, seeing that I was going to fail in business unless I found a new passion for devoting myself to, and I haven't, I chose to stay single and childless.

I tried taking a few other occupations. Failed at those too. However, there's something I'm pretty good at; that would be writing and work as a computer user and data entry.

So, it hasn't been a total loss. Praised Be the Lord!

Unfortunately, when I was a college student majoring in graphic design, articles such as this one weren't circulating on the internet.

Back in 1980 and 1982, the personal computers were being sold in Radio Shack and nobody back then spoke of an internet.

Moral of the Story

In the final analysis, if there is a message to be taken from all this, it's that you're only hurting yourself when you resist or flee from a reality that's staring you in the face.

If you know that you're not all that good and that the major you're in will not see you through your economic future, get out of there.

Caveat; there are some Grays between those Blacks and Whites

Is it a suggestion to throw in the towel and shrug your shoulders? No. Not by any means. That's not what I'm getting at here.

Rather, you need to look at the job market and the forecast reports from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Read magazines such as Forbes and newspaper business sections that discuss the labor market.

It's easy to fall into the temptation to rationalize that it isn't over till it's over and that all we have is right now. We're advised to not get ahead of ourselves, ahead of right now that today is all we have.

Unfortunately, this today which is all we have now - will have become yesterday only 24 hours later. I don't believe in that philosophy. It never worked for me.

Workable Approaches that I Wish I'd Known Then

I do fast forward research. I think ahead. I'm a long term thinker. I cannot forecast with 100% accuracy by any means. Instead of that, I induct. I add up facts and then arrive at a conclusion, at a decision.

Words of Wisdom from the Master

Even Jesus Christ advised people to count the money and to make sure that there's enough of it to finish the construction of the house before laying down the foundation.

Call to Action

That's what I'm exhorting you to do here.

Learning from Experience

A few years ago, I wrote a blog post out of desperation, desperation that I failed to realize was caused by flaws in me.

It ensued from my indiscipline, my unwillingness to work as hard as needed, emotional immaturity, ignorance, and unrealistic expectations.

This blog post teaches how these five factors attracted unnecessary hardships to me and still do to everyone else who indulges in them.

Indiscipline

That's been one of my major faults in life. I remember when I was an elementary school student that running laps, doing calisthenics, and other athletic activities that are healthy for you were being used as punishment when a PE student misbehaved.

We were given homework we hated. Just about everything that edifies a person in development was used to penalize us. No wonder we hated discipline.

Lack of Willingness to Do Adequate Work

If you've seen movies such as The Ten Commandments and other movies in which people who are doing labor of some sort grunt and show how much they hate it.

Who can relate work as a good thing when we have images such as those to teach us to hate work? And yet, doing work is what brings money to one and develops the person.

Emotional Immaturity

Emotional Immaturity is so common, especially among young people. Nothing demonstrates this more starkly than sexual misbehavior. A proper woman will insist on a man to take her seriously and relate to her in a serious way before there can be any sex.

The best prerequisite demand for such seriousness is of course marriage. When the man is emotionally immature, if he cannot persuade her to put out for him sexually, he's likely to go looking for a woman of lower self esteem and of looser morals who is more likely to.

Unrealistic Expectations

On the internet, on tv, in magazines, etc., we see advertisements that promise us the world if we spend our money on these. And again, they fail us. Aren't we too big and too old to fall for such childish promises?

Final Analysis

As you can see, if I'm talking about these things on here, it's because I myself have fallen victim to all five and then some.

Here we've only touched the tip of the proverbial iceberg of causes that lead to failure and attract more unnecessary hassles to ourselves.

If you care to guess, right now, as I am writing this article, I am giving in to one of these flaws. Can you guess which one?

I'm not doing the best I can to make this article as marketable as I can. Why?

This article is, like I said at the beginning, a marker to show and demonstrate an inadequate page view score.

If I've been on here and doing writing and the writing hasn't been all that great, then I failed in my job.

I've read a number of books on how to write good blogs and if I haven't followed their advice and their teachings, it's my own damn fault that this blog isn't getting as far as it should.

Selected Articles: What Future for the Global Economy? Analysis and Commentary.

noreply@blogger.com (Roberto Fiad) — Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:15:00 +0000

Selected Articles: What Future for the Global Economy? Analysis and Commentary.

Did You Read those Articles ?

Yes?

Good for you. Now you have stuff to think over if someone shows up to sell you on some get rich quick scheme that will blow up in your face and make you a whole lot poorer if you invest.

No?

I guess that either you didn't need that information or you just don't care one way or another. Maybe it doesn't apply to you all that much or not at all.

Where do we think we'll get to in Life with all those maybes?

I read some of the first one and understood very little of the technical stuff in there. There's only very little technical jargon in economists' articles that I'm able to absorb and understand the first time I read them.

I have to go back over and over again when there's something I don't enjoy reading that has information in it that I need to understand before getting to do things I'd prefer to invest my time in.

How important do you think it is for you or me to have read it enough times to get it?

If President Obama read it, do you think he'd understand what it says with all those jargon words in there? I'd say he does and he would understand it the first time he read it.

How come he doesn't speak to us with the language that's in there? He wants to connect with us at our level.

But the economy oriented writers who write articles like these - they write for economy oriented readers who would understand that sort of word and what it would mean for them.

Another thing, do they want us to understand that sort of stuff that's in those articles?

I think they don't care one way or another. If you or I read it or try to, and we don't get it, someone else will. That's how they see it. These writers don't write that sort of thing with readers like you or me in mind.

Did you see a tv ad for a certain insurance company for car drivers?

The story line scene in that ad is that there are two women in there.

One is a knowledgeable insurance professional.

The other woman, the one standing next to her, is a car driver or car owner who has car insurance because she has to have insurance to keep her driver's license activated.

Now that second lady, the one who is forced to have auto insurance, got the insurance but she didn't read the paperwork that came with the policy. She got into a car problem and then she needed to make use of the benefits of the insurance.

But then, she didn't follow instructions or she got into some unexpected complication so the insurance she got, will now not cover her needs as much as she expected when she got the policy.

The first lady I mentioned, the insurance professional, is now saying that she contributed to her current trouble because she failed to read any of the paperwork she should have read when she got the policy.

The second lady, the one who's in bigger trouble now, answers back, "Who reads that stuff?"

Post Mortem on a Careless Consumer Who Got Herself Burned Unnecessarily

She, like you and I, prefers to spend that money on shoes, food, party, whatever is fun to spend money on. Me too.
And she likely would prefer reading a fun magazine or a romance novel.

Most typical guys today would prefer reading something about sports, or guns, or a new video game, or xbox, or something like that. Me too.

Neither that lady nor that guy wants to have to spend their time reading the long pages of text that show up on insurance policy paperwork. It's boring and the jargon in there is dense. It's no fun to read.

Another TV Ad but with a Very Different Consumer

A fancy and expensive long limo drives into a tire garage and a man comes out of the car and asks the attendant a number of questions about the tires he sells.

The attendant is very knowledgeable about his business and answers the questions well. The last question, one in which he was asked if the tires he sold came with a written guarantee, was also answered affirmatively and in detail by that attendant.

After all the questions were asked and answered, the attendant then asks, "Why does a man like him bother with a written guarantee?"

The rear window of the limo goes down and an arm comes out. The hand at the end of that arm, wiggles the finger for the attendant to get close to the window.

When the attendant looks inside, there is a older looking gentleman dressed very well in an expensive looking suit. Across from him, seated is a secretary taking down short hand.

At that moment, the older looking gentleman looks at him, and asks the attendant in a low tone, "How do you think a man like me got to be a man like me?"

ANALYSIS

What a difference between these two examples. One is a woman who bought car insurance and didn't bother reading the papers and presumed that no one else did either.

The other is an extreme opposite of her.

He is the big-shot older executive who insisted on getting written guarantees for even the smallest of purchases and who knew how to get through to others - Those who are more like that lady rather than like himself, who makes a fuss over even small purchases.

Which of the two, do you think, will be less likely to have to go through an unnecessary hassle, a self-inflicted trouble situation?

When a super wealthy and powerful business person like the CEO in that second tv ad makes a big fuss on insisting in getting a written guarantee for something like tires for a car, he knows how valuable his time is, and he knows how much valuable time gets wasted when an unnecessary hassle arises.

When We Read what We Don't Feel like Reading, Because Knowing such Information Is Useful, after we did it . . .

We're a whole lot happier, aren't we now?

When we need to call the insurance people to make a claim on an auto accident, and we understand the steps we need to take, what's covered and what isn't, guess what?

We're glad we took time to have read the boring, dense, pages of text that explained everything in detail.

When it's time to apply that information to our daily grind, our life situations, we worry less. We suffer less. Life feels a whole lot less painful.

And Guess What that Means?

THAT'S ANOTHER HASSLE WE BLOCKED OUT OF OUR WAY!

Now you too know what this blog is here to teach.

So going back to the beginning, the article on the economy, it's possible, maybe even likely, that if you come into some money sooner or later, someone's going to want to sell you on some investment.

Let's say that you read that article and studied the charts in there. And let's say that some of the data in there is verified as accurate.

Let's say that some other information isn't so accurate. But you found some sources that show you where all the differences are and how far apart they are, guess what friend?

You're better Equipped than before, with Knowledge that's Ready to Use - Right Now.

When that person wants to show up in front of you and sell you on an investment, and they give you a song and dance on what the economy's doing, you can demand that they put their claims in writing so that you can look it over, think things over, and then arrive at a yes or no decision.

If that person objects to what you're demanding or tries to rush you to make a hasty decision, you get to kick ém out of your space.

Defining Hassle

noreply@blogger.com (Roberto Fiad) — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 04:30:00 +0000

Let’s all come to some sort of understanding on what the term hassle means.

I found four varying definitions for the word hassle on dictionary.com.

· The first one is that it’s a dispute which is disorderly.

· The second is: problem caused by pressures of time, money, inconvenience, etc..

· The third definition is that a hassle is having to take time or make an effort of some sort.

· The fourth is like the first. It means to dispute or quarrel [whether it is orderly and civilized or disorderly].

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hassle?s=t

When I began to work on this web log, the term hassle meant only one thing: a situation that I don’t want to have to deal with. To me, it means just that.

All four entries are one which I recognize as a hassle: a situation that I just don’t want to deal with. It’s irritating. Sometimes it's a sickening scenario that I never want to even stumble into.

I am keen on avoiding getting into a dispute, especially if it’s disorderly. The way I see it, just getting close to someone who is quarrelsome, is a drain.

If you dispute with a such a person, you’re looking for trouble

Such a situation cannot help but escalate into something worse.

You’re likely to lose no matter how much in the right you are.

Located only a few yards away from the law firm’s building where I work - is the County Jail.

Disturbing the peace is an offense that can provoke a police officer to arrest you.

And you’ll be wasting in that decrepit environment. You will rely on the good graces of correctional officers - to give you permission to go to the rest room.

The second day I was on the job where I work, I went there. It was a field trip hosted by one of our former defense attorneys and one of our office trainers.

The building itself is disgusting and decrepit. Inside, where the prisoners were, it was a scene from Dante’s Inferno.

The inmates looked haggard, exhausted, depressed; they were already in hell.

It was a depressing, grim scene.

Today is January 2, 2016, and nightfall comes in about two and a half hours from now in Miami, Florida. Two nights ago, it was New Year’s Eve.

Last night on the eleven o’clock news, I learned that there were two babies born yesterday.

Congratulations to the proud parents are in order and I salute them.

The newscaster also reported that two persons died on New Year’s Eve. Also, one man was arrested for being a Peeping Tom.

Closed circuit video cameras in the area captured him in the act.

Of the two who died, a man’s corpse surfaced in a canal yesterday. He had left a supper club where he celebrated New Year’s Eve.

The second fatality reported was of an eighteen year old girl. She celebrated New Year at her parents’ home. Later that night she left with some friends, one of whom was doing all the driving.

On the way home, the car was driven fast by one of the friends. They crashed into an area with poor visibility and the girl died on impact immediately.

Two friends are now in the hospital. One of them is in critical condition.

Had she stayed home, she’d likely be alive right now.

And she would be heading back on an airplane tomorrow to college in California.

The Peeping Tom masturbated on the hidden camera as he looked inside a woman's house. A window was full of broken glass chards because he smashed the pane.

One of the charges was that of destroyed property.

Another was breaking and entering another person's private property. The prosecutor now has all the admissible evidence he needs.

Since the offender was in the premises illegally, uninvited, and because the camera was inside a residential private property, the owner was under no obligation to post any notification sign that there were cameras.

Had he stayed out of trouble, he’d be home right now. It is possible that he would now be looking at pornographic pictures of naked women.

Perhaps he’d even be in bed with a someone who sought a sex buddy online. There are countless websites and sexual dating sites all over the world wide web.

Now instead of enjoying himself, he’s in jail waiting for a bail bondsmen to spring him free.

But then he has to be on his best behavior and go to trial later on.

He'd also be low on money for his own needs because those bail bonds cost thousands of dollars.

Either that or he would be in deep debt.

He has to get himself a criminal defense lawyer. He left a pattern. There are several women accusing him of the same offense.

Getting charges dropped will be quite a challenge for this defendant’s attorney to achieve. Also, that video tape will make victory difficult.

If the women accusing him were the only worry, it would be easier for his lawyer to get him off.

And let’s say he’s sentenced to a few years in jail.

When he’s let out, his nightmare will come along with him.

He’ll have to register as a sexual offender. And because he will be labeled as an released convicted inmate, the law will strip him of many of his civil rights.

Moreover, in society’s eyes, he’ll be perceived as a sh*t. No one will want him near. This is a high price he’s having to pay. What a foolish thing to do.

Thinking wrong got these persons into horrible trouble. Two of them are dead. Worse yet, these incidents were avoidable.

And these don’t even scratch the surface. There are hassles of every shape and color and the circumstances are countless.

Getting a finger pricked by a staple or jabbed by the edge of a sheet of paper is a minimal hassle. You need only to wash your hands, put on a dab of Neosporin and put on a bandaid for a few hours.

If only every ordeal were that slight, what a wonderful world this would be.

I’m working on issues of my own now.

Last year, when things started getting ugly for me, I often got panic attacks. I felt as if some jackboot was pressing down on my chest. My primary doctor ordered me hospitalized. I spent twenty four hours in the hospital.

My primary physician authorized my discharge the next day for I had passed the stress test.

How I hate hassles! How I love helping people avoid them!
