Stoking the Internal Fire of Motivation
I am going to describe a situation today, but I will refrain from naming names and being specific about the details. Why you ask? Well, this is the internet and I would be a political imbecile to rant about anything that could kneecap my visions of the future. With as little as a few used words or names anyone can and will use your words against you. I constantly chuckle at what I find people saying on the internet because if I can find it, their enemies can too.
What really pisses me off, and a lot of people should agree, is when others choose to see you in a lesser light than you see yourself. You scoff, “What the heck does that mean, Chad?”
The capacity for greatness is a measure best known by those who have it and nurtured by those who can see through its outer trappings. Case in point, you know you are capable of excelling at a task, but others only see where you have been and what you have done. This is by no means a great revelation, but one thing that motivates me more than anything is the perceptions people form of me that are below what I see in myself. It’s that fire. The fire that needs that outside element to stoke it up. Today, someone stoked that fire. It pissed me off, but, rather than take it out on them or direct that energy towards malace, I will turn it into something good. I will excel beyond imagination.
Energy is energy. It is up to you to use it in a way that is either beneficial or hurtful. I have dedicated a great deal of my life to the betterment of those around me. It is what enlivens me and makes me whole. Why would I allow it to harm? No, the one who has stoked my fire may never know they were the cause, but know this…they will know they have underestimated me and in that I will attain prize…begrudged respect.Thanks for the kick in the toosh. I needed that.
