A heart-centered motivation for doing something seemingly for yourself (physical fitness, financial success, relationship success, etc) is to be able to pass on your knowledge to others who will benefit from it even more. Whatever you master for yourself, you can share.
This has been an especially powerful motivator for me personally. I know that I can pass on everything I'm learning. This helps me get past the fear of failure, since I know that even my mistakes can benefit others. As I explore human existence, I can leave behind a map of the interesting parts.
Whenever you have a private victory, turn it into a social victory by sharing it. Teach people how you did it. Then you aren't just winning for yourself. You're winning for the benefit of all. |
