Chapter 50 - Power=Work x Time
Chapter 1: Wants=>Needs!
"Start By Doing What's Necessary,
then by doing what's possible...
and suddenly you'll be doing what
was thought to be impossible."
-Saint Francis d'Assisi
(1188-1233 A.D.), Super saint in the
12th-13th century
"Do the right thing, the right way,
the best way you can, when you can,
and do it that way, on time, all the
time."
-Bobby Knight, Indiana University
Head Basketball Coach (1947- )
"The man who wants to lead an
orchestra usually has his back to the
crowd."
-Max Lucado, Reverend and
best-selling author at church (1962-
)
"When what we really really want
is equal to what we really, really,
honestly need, that's an equivalence
truth tautology and if that want is
fulfilled it brings an equilibrium, or a
state of satisfaction or even nirvana
to the person."
-The Omekkaglazzinator,
Shakespeare poetry award winner
2005 (1990- )
"Where there's a bleed, there's a
need. So pick up an ebook and gone
and read."
-Roberto McJohnsworthy, Street's
disciple, Oberlin, Ohio (1970- ) +

Motivation 101....needs and wants are
central to life. It's a fact, everyone
needs or wants something but the
question is: what do you want out of
life? Do you want love, a healthy
marriage, education, knowledge,
power, respect, or even humility and
honor? Those are all good things to
hope for and want. But what do we
really need? We need God, Jesus
Christ, Holy Ghost, church, Bible,
food, clothing, shelter, spouse, love,
water, knowledge, honor, respect,
technology, an automobile, shoes,
socks, coats, hats, fun, laughter,
games, music, and parties...we need
all of that. So now, it's time to
separate wants versus needs. Do you
really need that extra bag of
potatoes? What about that giant 50
inch TV some got that's on sale for
$400. Or what about that ipad,
iphone, and all this istuff that only i
use? Really? Technology is great but
we need the needs over the wants
anyday. When your wants and
desires line up and are equivalent to
your needs, that's when you may be
on the brink of achieving a state of
nirvana, or contentment. You see,
information is traveling at an
increasingly faster rate with each
passing year. In the future, they'll
probably put computer chips in
people to monitor them or even to
buy groceries! But the thing is, some
laws will always be in effect like the
10 Commandments and the Code of
Hammurabi and penal laws. Wants
and needs should always equal up to
each other - maximum productivity.
So, with that being said....what
motivates you? It's tough to say it but
my 7 biggest motivations are in
hierarchal order: 0. God in 3-1. 1.
Marriage; 2. Knowledge; 3. Food; 4.
Motorcycles; 5. Computers; 6. Games
; 7. History. I think that everyone
should have these 7 concepts and
activities in their lives. You should
have an idea of what makes you tick.
You know what makes a clock tick?
It's movement - measured movement
over a measured distance called time.
So with that being said, you should be
able to formulate in your mind your
motives. What moves you, they say?
Figure that out and then you can
start talking about moving towards
the end result of that motivation -
success! The thing you though about
doing is actually done - that's success
in your mind. Of course whether the
right thing was done or the wrong
thing was done, that's up to God to
judge, but success in any area of life
is a matter of thinking, visualizing,
speaking, and acting (or doing) the
right thing, repeatedly. A thought
causes an image in your mind to
form, which could cause speech to
happen, and then the action actually
happens once you put the thought to
your motor skills, nervous system,
bones, muscles, etc to cause your
body to move in a certain direction -
the end result.
So basically figure out your needs
and wants, and if they are equal, then
visualize those wants or needs and
start working towards it. Needs!
