(BOOK HERE: http://amzn.to/1aGt8BA) Of course we're using the phrase "hidden science" metaphorically, what we're really going to discuss are 3 key insights for staying motivated, raising, or cultivating, our sense of drive as well as sustaining that hunger over the long-term.
My name is Bryan Ogilvie, and I'm the author of "How to Conquer Yourself: Discipline & Willpower for the Conscious, Creative Thinker..."a strategic manual to help artists, writers and other creative professionals develop the motivation and self-control their goals necessitate and demand of them.
Most of the content from this video tutorial *stems directly from that that book* so check out my blog - http://dotheknowledge.com/transcend - where you can get the book directly and also more great, free training like this. So let's begin...
TRANSCRIPT
------------------
"Just as 75% of communication is non-verbal - just as most of what you communicate stems from your body language, tone of voice and the situation, or context, you say it within - rather than simply the words themselves, 75% of motivation is non-motivational as well: most of how motivated you are stems from your perspective towards life, your habitual behaviors and the people you associate with, rather than simply what you do, or fail to do, in order to "motivate" yourself.
Motivation, a lot like willpower, builds itself indirectly, as a response to factors that seem unrelated to it, and these factors have more to do with your identity than they do with your source of inspiration or encouragement.
When it comes to long-term motivation, you can't force, encourage or logically convince yourself to be (or stay) focused any more then you can force, encourage or logically convince someone to be (or stay) with you romantically. Long-term motivation is a type of "chemistry" that happens on its own accord, as an offset to the type of person you are and consequential to the type of life you choose to lead.
You can only build motivation, therefore, by reverse-engineering it; by building it into your character and into your subconscious mind.
Again, just as 75% of communication is non-verbal, 75% of motivation is non-motivational, and that 75% is internal, subtle and unconscious. You can't gain long-term motivation by merely watching an inspirational movie, reading a New York Times Bestseller or placing affirmations on your bathroom wall, because the mere consumption of information (or the mere replication of mechanical routine) is not enough to translate into a persistent sense of drive and ambition...these things have to be derived from within your own psyche and from within your own intuitive, cognitive nature."
