expensive old wine? Do you remember how pleasant and rewarding it felt? How dignified and even proud you felt, especially if you had to work hard to deserve such a privilege. On the same note, have you ever seen a dog who has just found a big marrow bone? You probably have noticed how vigorously he guards the bone, how strongly he holds on to it, how carefully he bites it, how passionately breaks it, and how thoroughly sucks it dry… What motivates the dog, what does the dog get out of it? Pretty much nothing…except for a drop of bone marrow. The drop, which for the dog is sweeter than anything else, since it is the perfect food that nature has created. Just like that dog one has to be insightful and fearless in battles to appreciate the victory and rewards. |

| Two motivating powers: Love and Fear. Some fear to love, others just love their fears. Falling in love, for instance, is quite scary, what if your heart gets broken? Fear controls you, limits you. Fear would never help you to move a mountain. Love would, though. Fear is possessive, love is liberating. Paradox: fear feels more comfortable. Not the cozy kind of comfortable, yet so many of us prefer to hide under the fear covers. It makes us feel less vulnerable. Love, on contrary, makes us feel exposed. Love forces us to be open. What a scary feeling…. Behind every action there is either love or fear. Do you want to get a pat? Took me 10 years to decide. I love cats, but would not get one out of fear of not being responsible enough. Also, what if she starts eating my plants, and scratching my furniture? Well, love won this one… |
