Drive: The Suprising Truth About What Motivates Us (Incredible Video)

Its a great video, isn't it? I find the message especially important for small business owners where you may not be able to pay your employees top dollars but you CAN keep them engaged and happy by understanding them and leveraging their "drive".

In the employers, associations and networks I've spread this message to, the ones that have embraced this concept are the ones who've been able to grow and thrive even in economic uncertainty.

Science has finally caught up with what practitioners have known all along.

In the book In Search of Excellence, published in 1980, the authors argued for the importance of giving employees "Autonomy and Entrepreneurship". And they were by no means the first to make such an argument.

The importance of having a life of purpose, or meaning, had been advocated by Victor Frankl in his book A Man's Search for Meaning, since the end of WWII.

Master (or "Growth") is one of "6 Human Needs" that Anthony Robbins listed in Awaken the Giant Within, which came out in 1989.

Great and creative video. Could be a good way to present an info product.

Haha, that's a great video. I loved all his little pictures.

Yeah the RSA animate people make other videos that are similar with little pictures and interesting ideas on different topics. I guess the guy who made this video actually wrote a whole book on the topic (I think with the same title as the video).

A good video even though I disagreed with a few points

Ultimately I think drive is an energy and we are all guided by our intuition to which way we can personally nurture that powerful energy

I think that watching a video is going to do absolutly nothing what so ever to increase your motivation or drive, some of the most lazy people i know talk about this sort of stuff and watch these videos and they achieve nothing. Some of the most highly motivated people i know on the other hand would have never attended or watched a video like this, so my advice get of your bum and do something it's that simple.

Thank you anyway for the video everyone needs motivation what you do next is what counts

Hi... Cognitive Motivation

I both agree and disagree with this video at the same time. Depending on a person's personal individual mental progress or advancement, which is only intimately known to themselves based on their experience, they will either be in agreement for disagreement with the video as a fact of life. Only the face in the mirror knows what they feel they should believe or not.

To me, It's actually surprising that this understanding required necessary studies to realize this, where the simplest of observations indicate the same facts. This is an ancient behavioral science. It's a component of religion. It's reflected as a civil morale mandate in various societies around the world, as well as being a group association binder. This is an ancient technology.

The video exemplifies the effects of this technology in a mentally digestible form of animation, however, it's not new. I think the easiest to understand portion of the video concerning this reality, is the mention of the behavior of a musician. Everyday existence touching an intrinsic force of nature without truly understanding the actuality of why they are magnetically drawn into being who they are.


It's All Over Economics

It seems to me, that just the activity of simple observation, dictates this human condition of phenomena regarding motivating incentives and the size of a reward. This type situation of circumstance, is more readily experienced in cosmopolitan city environments, rather than in rural areas, yet nevertheless, this human behavior prevails.

Cosmetic rewards are used as incentive motivators, yet, that doesn't mean that cosmetic rewards are the best for this purpose. For natural reasons, intrinsic incentives yield the greatest motivation dynamics.

To show this, you have to casually know this. As an individual living in a moral community, you already know this instinctively despite whether the given moral code is smart or not. As it stands currently in today's presentation of social climate, the casual understanding is not always acknowledged.


'Clear Perspective Perception'™

I would venture to say that this condition prevails, due to an early divorce of the human character psyche, away from the actuality behind what we as a species determine to be reality. This actuality concerns an aspect, which involves the human feature of 'clear perspective perception'™. We have this feature capability.

This 'clear perspective perception'™, is an essential quality that can be utilized to communicate comprehensive understandings of the workings of the physics of this Mother Nature, in terms of natural correspondent harmonic language syntax that IS our environment and all its discussion.


Human Nature

In simpler terms, relative conditions of behavior occur all the time in nature with a spectrum of correspondence to all species participating in life on this planet. Get it!

Look around and see the same uncovered evidence in plant, insect, or animal behavior. Their incentive motivators have to do with nourishing food, which will directly impact their survival capabilities. In the case of human behavior, there's the question of cosmetic incentives like money, or intrinsic rewards that involve the dynamics of principle expression.

In reality, it's a no brainer. Life, like consciousness, knows itself, and responds favorably to itself, automatically. The body of the human vehicle demonstrates this, which you know well.

We all know its instinctively easier to breathe, rather than to think about the mechanics of taking a breath. Less effort if involved.

Wherein a situation arises where we do require mechanical behaviors to be involved, the least amount of thought processing is desired, in terms of requiring less effort.
Cognitive situations require more thought processing activity, which reflect a condition of more mental effort.

And just like water, human behavior seeks the path of least resistance. Less effort.


Motivating Incentives

Now, let's explain an actuality concerning Motivating Incentives.
Motivating Incentives are very practical and obtainable, when an individual exhibits expressive behaviors based on 'clear perspective perception'™. If it doesn't matter whether the effort is cognitive or mechanical. The respective goal will be perceived as accessible and obtainable through less than stressful means.


Through 'Clear Perspective Perception'™, psychic, mental, and cognitive features are all augmented and enhanced due to intrinsic communication capabilities enabling a blended harvest of reason, memory, imagination, and conceptualization to occur within the expression of mental acumen. In other words, it's easier to conceptualize, imagine, calculate, correlate, communicate, and generally think.


Cognitive activity dynamics flow more freely in this type environment. Individuals who have developed, or are endowed with this embodiment of 'clear perspective perception'™, are less; much less prone to having difficulty in cognitive task. Within this atmosphere, cognitive task incentive motivators, are viewed relatively, as a least resistance path towards the successful goal of achieving a reward.

The opposite holds true with an individual who is not expressing 'clear perspective perception'™. A cognitive task in an atmosphere without 'clear perspective perception'™, will be more prone to the ravages of mental deficit self-imposed backlash effects, concerning, the emotional clouds of fear, insecurity, self doubt, inadequacy, low self-esteem, and or a host of other emotionally tied negative thought processes.


Larger Rewards Equal Poorer Performance

Larger rewards equal poorer performance. Wonder why? Too much stress, lack of focus, and distractions remove a person from the ability to experience intrinsic motivators that are vastly more powerful than tangible economic incentives like cosmetic conveniences or economic wealth.

Individuals in this state of condition are not expected to be able to realize much less comprehend intrinsic motivators, as limited experience concerning this issue has been less available during their evolutionary periods of life cycle.

This condition also indicates a history of experience that is less normalized or harmonically sympathetic with their immediate environment concerning the physics of this Mother Nature.


Here's Why

'Clear Perspective Perception'™, is an intrinsic reconnection to the freest human condition that can be consciously perceived, wherein,' 'Everything Is Connected - Nothing Is Divorced From Itself' ('PFOSH - Wealth Beyond Reality' - Tom Garris).

This principle underlies the awareness of a universal consequence of consciousness from beyond the absolute of potential, existing within this dimensional region of the physics of this Mother Nature.


Its Alive

Now, you should be aware, that this consciousness knows itself. It knows itself in terms of the purity it's this essence as being an expression of principles and ideas.

It doesn't know man-made contrivances like it knows itself. It knows how to function through them or act on them, but not with them. Consciousness works with itself, and because of this, responds to its own expressions that humans can intrinsically or consciously generate through thought, emotion, and or any prescription of their combination.

In other words, consciousness is a living discriminating entity unto itself. It's no wonder, that when humans are given intrinsic incentives like freedom, lust, satisfaction, achievement, hate, success, greed, or creativity, that relate to principals of which the psyche can interpret and translate into the pervasive singularity consciousness field of existence, they excel in purpose. Our human shells just detect these things as emotional feelings and or instinctual sensitivities. But again, our psyche translates.


Ancient Science

It's funny how ancient cultures knew this kind of stuff, thousands of years ago. Of course, today we have our modern ways of indicating such intrinsic principles however in ancient times, they used to say things like, for honor, glory, for the gods, everlasting life, victory, ect...

The conceptual principle in effect, was and is the same. The comprehensive intrinsic understanding that there is something uniformly valuable worth striving towards. There's been a comprehension, that the magnetic affinity of consciousness that resides intrinsically inside as well as outside living beings, dynamically defines effected behaviors towards the reaching of being more of itself. Who knew?


Simple Explanation

High reward cognitive motivators work well with individuals utilizing 'clear perspective perception'™, and less so with those who are not.

You want incentive, motivation; feel good about what the heck you are doing. It's that simple. But choose carefully what you quest for. Just remember, that feeling good can be a double edged sword, not necessarily for you alone, but for others you don't even know or will ever see. Think about it.

There's more to this story than can be written here.

Something to think about, don't you think? What do you think?
