IF....if only one can help himself or herself then one can "permeates outward" to become a happier individual. You are fortunate to have that determination and will power inside you to do it but "If you see that "motivation that comes from deep within. . . is critical" then maybe that is why so many still seek help from others rather than helping themselves first?

Greetings Bro. Leo,

So true and I can see your point of view on this blog. Yet I can still see why "motivation that comes from deep inside us" is critical because if we can overcome ourselves first, things will come into focus, thus aiding us to progress without the influences of the world and life won't be that stressful. Our positive attitudes within ourselves and telling us that yes we can make it on our own will permeates outward and we will become a much more happy people.

True Motivation......interesting how people view things differently...the way I view it is that both work together, True Motivation can come from without to within or from within to without. It"s true that we "dont need to compete with others . . . only need to compete with" yourself but in each life challenges there are times when motivation can come from others by competing with them or like you say from competing with yourself.

I am one who works or study better when competing with others but yes there are other life situations where I only need to look within myself to achieved that strong will power to have that inner strength to do it on my own. I totally agree with you that it is from within that one need to realize to gain their strength or to motivate one to press on but sometimes if nothing can help then that's when the motivation from without to within comes in to help one achieve life's challenges.

Take care and God Bless
