Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Progressive.
Let's talk about two aspects, one aspect actually, for the children of new consciousness which has to do with motivation versus giving direction to them in their life.
Now, when I speak of children of new consciousness, just to be reminded once again, we are talking about teens and youth and young adults who are all born after 1987, more so now after 2000, the year 2000.
So, what do we do to motivate these kids? That's the question always being asked. Well, first of all, let's look at the word motivation. It comes from the word to move.
Move, noun form becomes motivation to move. So, you want to make them move in a certain direction, certain career paths, certain ways in their life, certain ways of thinking, feeling, acting, doing etc.
The way of being in their life. So, who would require motivation? Somebody who's unmotivated, that's an obvious answer.
Somebody who's feeling lost, somebody who's feeling defeated, somebody who's feeling unempowered, somebody who's feeling lack of mood to do some certain things in their life.
So, the standards sit there, paralyzed in their lives. These children of new consciousness full of a fear, a ball of heart-centered energy, they sit there demotivated.
They don't find any interest, a sense of listlessness in their life. Being listless, there's nothing to go for me in my life. There's nothing to look forward to.
This kind of energy, this kind of attitude is typically what is called for a motivation exercise. This is where coaches and teachers and everybody make their money, right?
We've got counselors. So, I'm going to coach a whole lot of people. There are a whole lot of coaches these days in every field. Coaching for this, coaching for that. Well, here's where I come from and what I teach and how I would carry this out if I were you, the adults, the old souls of the planet.
This is how I would carry them out. Well, first of all, no one requires motivation, no one. And I mean even the older ones, nor the younger ones, nor the teens, nor the youth. Why do I say that?
Well, if you require to motivate a person, first of all, it assumes that they are incapable of doing it themselves. That's number one.
Secondly, you're assuming a whole lot of predetermined set of things to do to motivate them. You know, take care of your life, take care of your daily habits and so on and so forth.
All these fixed structures which constitute the current coaching mechanism in which you have a predetermined sets of modules of exercises that you make these young adults and employees.
If it's employee, go through and then you determine at the end of that questionnaire or exercise, you have certain answers which you think will motivate the person.
Well, there's something inherently wrong with this picture. If you look at it carefully, first of all, the motivation works to a very tiny degree only as long as the motivator or the coach is present.
The moment you disappear as a coach, the motivation factor disappears because the person doesn't have anybody lifting them up, lifting their moods, lifting their sense of purpose and direction.
So the moment the coach disappears, the motivation disappears. This is why all motivation exercises become just a marketing stunt just to get people to come to them again and again.
This is not the right thing to do, by the way.
What would work better for all these young adults, employees, people, what would work better for people and the young adults and the children of new consciousness is giving them a sense of direction.
If a person has a direction or a trajectory in their life, they will be motivated by themselves.
They don't need you to be present there all the time trying to motivate them into this or that. You give a person a direction, a sense of trajectory.
Like this is where you would like to go. Would you like to do this? Would you like to do that and work with what makes sense to them?
If certain things make sense to certain people, they will automatically be motivated. This is where I come from. This is where what I found to be true.
This is the truth, folks. Motivation really becomes unnecessary for any individual.
If the person has the right direction, has the right talents for it, has already the inbuilt abilities for it and all you are doing is drawing them out.
All you are doing is making the person see this truth about themselves for themselves. That is the most powerful form of motivation.
Not trying to subject them to a whole lot of questionnaires or a whole lot of ways of working which are predominantly psychological.
Although I do use psychological models which are good to promote their learning of their own skill sets.
Now we come to how to give them direction. How do we give this people direction in life? Anyone for that matter?
First of all you have to understand that direction can be given in multiple ways.
And direction to have them empower themselves in the area of their career, in the area of their job, in the area of their relationships goes on three factors.
First factor we can't do much about. The other two factors we can do something about.
First factor is the socio-economic and the society and cultural factors. Where they are born? How much money they are born into? Is their family wealthy or not?
Can they afford this and that? Can they afford this form of education?
A child on the street even if he wants to become surgeon, he cannot become a surgeon simply because he wants to.
socio-economic factors can he or she afford that kind of education because these things cost money.
That's the factor we can't do anything about. Now the other two we can do something about which I use.
One is Vedic Astrology to determine from the planetary perspective where this motivation would occur automatically.
Where this factor of the person automatically liking certain things, having talent for certain things and doing certain things works for them and it will continue to work for them because it's their birth chart.
It's the natal chart you are working with. So you are already working in a very empowered way by teaching them who they are, what they are about and what are their desires and what are their talents, abilities, so on and so forth.
That's the area of Vedic Astrology and the birth charts.
The second one which I use which complements the Vedic Astrology very well, they work together very well is the psychological model and the questionnaires.
I use models like Neuro-linguistic programming which I suggest you use, it's very powerful and there are other questionnaires and determinants like your personality type.
Are you melancholic, are you phlegmatic, are you choleric, are you sanguine, all these kinds of personality types and there are many others.
Totally about 10 to 16 questionnaires I have as excel sheets which I work with the youth.
In order to help them understand, help me understand better where they are coming from psychologically.
Now why do we need psychology when we have the astrological birth chart already?
Well, the thing that happens with us as humans in this very damaged society and where only institutions are dictating what we can and cannot do or what we should or should not do.
If you want to bring in the new energy and build a better human being and therefore a new society, we must first take into consideration all the psychological programming that has been already done on the person.
They believe certain things because they are told or they read somewhere in the news or in the media or in social media which has become very nasty these days.
So they are buying certain ideas and certain beliefs and concepts from the information that they are exposed to in the social media and the world at large.
Secondly, they are influenced by their parents and their upbringing and their culture race religion.
So these two have psychological impact on the individuals.
So first we also evaluate the individual psychologically whether they are good enough for this or not.
What do they think of certain things? Where do they act?
This psychological body or the psyche body of a person has a whole set of beliefs, structures and ideas that it considers as important, as valuable.
That person values those particular beliefs, ideas, etc. Nothing wrong with valuing something good as long as it works for them.
But if we understand where they are coming from psychologically with this evaluating question is that I have as well as coming from the Vedic Astrology perspective of what the planets are telling, what stories are the planets telling us from their charts
and kind of study these together, put them side by side, study them.
Then you will know why the person is so to speak unmotivated or why the person lacks motivation or why the person is sitting there paralyzed, unable to move forward in their life, find happiness, find joy.
We have to learn to put these two things side by side, not exclude them.
Psychology and psychological tools are very useful I have found as well as Vedic Astrology and that perspective.
So it brings us here to two perspectives which I use.
So these two perspectives can be powerful tools where the person uses them or the coach uses them to guide them gently into the area of knowing the power, where the true power lies and where the true joy of the individual lies.
This is where we must come from because once you know your power, personal power and once you know your personal joy, it's very easy to be motivated yourself.
You don't need a coach or you don't need a counselor or you don't need anyone external or even a friend.
You are like engine which has fired up and is now ready to move on its own, find its own path in life, find its own joys.
At least you know your starting points, you know where you stand and how you work, how you work psychologically and how you work according to your birth chart and they will match, trust me they will match both of these together.
I have never seen a case where these two do not match, they invariably tend to match if you look closely enough and that's the beauty of it.
If you analyze the personality using Vedic charts and you do a psychological profile on them, they will pretty much match.
And that's the good news, that's where we get to evaluate and direct the person in their life, plot that trajectory together with them so that they know where they are going.
It's the clarity that humans seek, it's the confusion that is always paralyzing, clarity is always empowering, confusion is very disempowering or unmotivating for any individual, including.
So we need to build these kinds of aspects and teach them, work with them one on one, it has to be one on one kind of exercise, really intense emotionally and psychologically for them to dive into some of their weak spots, some of their paralyzing points, some of their lack of talent area.
And it is at the same time very empowering on the high end of the scale to find out what they would shine in, what career really makes sense to them and have them get the epiphanies that they desire.
Epiphanies can be a great breakthrough, like aha moment, like aha yes, I know this kind of works for me, oh yes, I have always wanted to do such and such.
The right there is the motivating factor, you cannot motivate a person, I leave this much with conclusions.
You cannot possibly motivate a person as long as a motivator is required as a human being.
A coach or a counselor, be it life coach or business coach or whoever cannot motivate a person to the full degree is the person who must take ownership of their own talents, their own power and their own presence.
That's where the true direction comes from.
So motivation does not work, giving direction works, if you give the right kind of direction, a person will automatically go towards that in their life.
Like the great Einstein once said, if you are expecting a fish to climb a tree and then you are determining your success by the way the fish could not climb a tree, you put the wrong people in the wrong place.
That's all it is, a fish is not meant to climb the tree, it is meant to swim the ocean.
Whoever is talented at climbing a tree, put them there.
It's very important to put right people in the right places, it's giving the proper trajectory to the human being.
It's not about you standing there trying to play God and determine what people should be doing with their lives, that's not your function dear coaches and counselors, that's not your function.
Your function is simply to be finding out what this person inherently is through the psychological questionnaires which I talked about, through their Vedic Astrology, birth charts which I talked about.
And work with the individual saying, oh okay, this is where you are good at, this is what you are good at, or this is what you like doing and this is where you will find your joys in such and such areas.
We have all come here to do different things in life, we are not coming here for the same reason, each one of us.
So understanding this factor and working with trying to provide a direction, a trajectory, a path that makes sense to the individual is the best option you have.
For the individual to be self-motivated, self-directed and finding their own joy, that is the most empowering for any individual, even children of new consciousness.
