Losing is Gaining

Always involved in activity and finally after getting tired taking rest for few hours either in the form of a sleep or meditation was a regular part of my life. It was in June 2010 at Nagarkot when i first experienced and enjoyed the Silence where i got the opportunity to be with silence. In those four days of silence i felt it was a real going home to take rest. I'd a motive to find myself to understand myself and with so many other agendas to explore. At the end of the fourth day when i was suppose to break the silence i felt, I've lost something and found something. I was there to find myself and but I end up losing myself. I was completely into the silence where i even forgot what i want to have or what i was seeking.That feeling of not seeking anything was losing myself being in bliss and was something which i felt like void but yet containing fullness. I'm enchanted by the silence. Now i listen to the silence and become its witness losing everything. It made me realize that achievement is not in gaining but having the capacity to lose and even after that  remaining blissful or being in contentment. Don't know what is it, but i just know i love losing myself with no agenda to seek for. So i'm again going to lose myself for the third time enjoying being with the silence, being just hollow and empty and vacuum i.e. losing myself and i love this... Losing which is in fact Gaining the contentment  it brings :)

It is always Self Motivation

Many scholars has come up with many theories on Motivation and is in fact also one of the most discussed topic.
The challenge lies in the getting things done through the right person at the right time. To get the things done through other or even my one self people say the need to be motivated and many believe that we can really motivate the people.
However i here held little different view, i feel that one person can not motivate another person as motivation is  a decision of self to go into action. However one can influence and persuade applying logos, ethos or pathos. A person can always try to motivate other person but until and unless the person to be motivated does not internalize the information and decides on his/ her own  to act accordingly the second party is not successful. So one can only help another person to be motivated by influencing, influence is in the control of second person but motivation is always the decision of the first person.
Hence we cannot motivate people but we can influence them so they are self motivated. Influence is at surface level and the action derived from influence is of short term characteristics but when there is self motivation through self internalization, the result is more from substratum and the action is also strong.
