In the past, I suspect you've felt the empowerment that comes from learning something new about the way you think, or the way this Universe operates. Perhaps it was an article you read, or a book, or a workshop you attended, or a movie you watched.
Do you ever feel frustrated that the feeling, the clarity of mind, just doesn't seem to last?
Some people discredit self-help material because it doesn't last. Perhaps they felt on top of the world for a few days, but then life went just right back to normal. So along comes another self-help book or program, and they are jaded and discouraged and choose not to participate, because after all... it never lasts.
I've felt that way. I felt that way for at least 7 years. Just when I was ready to quit searching, that's when THE one experience changed me ...PERMANENTLY. So, I can say from first hand experience that it IS possible to experience something that lasts.
Will it be the same kind of experience that does it for every person? Of course not. But how can you ever know if it might have been THE one if you quit searching? When the student is truly ready, the answers come.
Until then, it's good to continue gathering morsels of wisdom, because each one leads a person closer, and prepares him/her for the ultimate solution, which, one day will hit him/her in such a way that the lights go on in the mind brighter than they ever have before.
In the meantime, if you are one of those people who get discouraged about motivation that doesn't last, look at it this way: your LUNCH didn't last either. But you aren't going to quit eating just because one meal didn't nourish you for a lifetime.
Quite frankly, each meal keeps you going until the next. Feeding your mind and spirit is no different. When your mind and spirit becomes weak, it's time to feed it!
