Nagging, Gnawing and Needling

What is it that gets you started … up and running … moving … engaged … engine humming … in full circulation …?

A Dream … Duty calling … or simply avoidance of “Drudging Damnation”?

Naggings, gnawings and needlings from external sources are probably the most common motivating factors in life.  Why?  Because we’d just rather NOT if we don’t HAVE to!

My cat is absolutely merciless in getting me up and running in the morning.

Whatever the means or method, nothing really happens if we’re not moving! 

The success of a plan or a project

Depends on just how well you do it;

But the doing depends

-from beginning to end –

On one plain, simple fact: you got to it!

 The move from external motivation to internal motivation – whether it’s nagging, gnawing and needling or otherwisely inspired Goals and Dreams – is the beginning of maturity, wisdom and overall progression.  Full matriculation isn’t accomplished until we hit personal enlightenment breakthrough, begin to understand the WHY, and make the move from doing things simply “Because I said so!” to “Because I NEED to, WANT to and CAN DO this!” 

 
“Seeing what needs to be done, wanting to do it, and doing it well without the imposition of external intervention is the essence of “coming into one’s own.”  Quartermaster
