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

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.

Business Career Employment - Allow Me to Explain Why these Forbes Articles are in this Blog
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 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
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.Monday, January 18, 2016
How is a Writer' Block similar to a Hassle Situation? Read on.
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.

Defining Hassle
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!
