We All Love To Win, But, Who Loves To Train? (Down Time, Up Time, Between Times)

We all love when the action is going well, and we are genuinely doing something productive. When things are not so active and we have to train for the next time we are in the action and get to when the action is going well, What then?

That is what this article addresses.

In reality, there are the conditions of up, down and sideways or in-between backward or forward. In short, there are all directions. If we really want to gain something out of reality, we must love the training process as well as the fulfilling end or it means nothing except empty effort like a job we hate, yet make a living at.

So, think for a moment in an awake way: What do I want to do in life that I love the process and end of?

Recently, I thought this way about my life and had the chance to think about it all deeply. Especially in this "Corona Virus time of semi-enforced isolation and social distancing", I have had the chance to do some deep work on myself. Also, I do not look on being generally alone at times as a negative thing. This time of "lockdown" has actually been very positive. This time has even enriched and bettered my understanding of myself. When done right, though, is that not what all training and preparation that is proper does though? Is that not a reality for all who love the process as well as the results?

Personally to the last two questions, I can genuinely say yes. Although most people who make livings at jobs they do not like or even care for except for the paycheck and "getting by" say an unconscious "no" with a depressed and subliminal shrug that does not seem to care about what happens with their goals, realities or genuine desires. Indeed, though, everyone knows the reality of the situation whatever the answer, some admit it deeply, some want to do the "forget it" in a shallow way, but, all have to admit: Without the work, without the things we have to do, we do not get what we want even in a small way. Those who are more conscious want to enjoy the process of the work as well as getting what is wanted, and the fully conscious want it all to be desirable, enjoyable and meaningful to themselves understanding that when reality works, it works at all levels harmoniously in down time, up time, and between times. Consciousness is a choice to take a road in reality mostly, not a given static condition in any way. Indeed, the blessing of consciousness is the choice to take a desirable action instead of taking what is given or doled out "naturally" or "taking what is given without your desire or control."

After all, in the senses I am mentioning, determining for yourself what you desire and what action to take is the essence of freedom and success, nothing else is better in that sense.

When You Get Good At Programming Yourself And Solving The Tough Problems (By Joshua Clayton)

We all love to win, but who loves to train to win? Work and overcoming procrastination is a tough problem when you do not really want a goal. At best, when something is play and we make a living or achieve something at it, that is ideal. At worst, though, and sometimes there are some of those "at worst things", life is a chore we do not want to deal with. Also, when there are things we would rather be doing than work and the play we want to be doing is destructive or not productive in any good way, that is when we must genuinely find the "silver lining" within that dark cloud of the chore we need (and want) to get done.

So, this is my formula: When I get frustrated or overwhelmed: I step back, look at things objectively, and then attack with strong subjective productivity in a way that I enjoy that makes things go and work better. Sure, I could give harder, more complicated advice about productivity, but we start there in this article and if you want iron grip control as well as enjoyment in any situation, you have got to start there. Also, if life were all enjoyment without obstacles, there would not be a point to it. So, my "other advice" is to grab the lessons and values from everything, even if we do not like it at the time it is happening. That is also what I mean by step back, look at things objectively, and then attack with strong subjective productivity. I mean face it, for every "I really want to do it moment", there are many "we have to do it moments" to genuinely achieve the goal we want to achieve, work is not an exception when we do not like it, but have to do it.

Listen, the best we can expect is to do what we have to do as work to ultimately do what we want to do as our reward. Let that statement sink in, because that is reality always. Genuine resilience, though, comes from wanting to do what we need to do and want to do with equal zeal, excitement and understanding that is motivated from within ourselves. Motivation never comes from outside ourselves anyway, it always comes from within. Tools without motivation are just inanimate objects, however great the tools, that is a bad thing when we expect them to do the work for us without effort. Tools with motivation are great things that work to build something productive, creative and realistically good.

In this article, I hope I gave you some good tools to solve the tough problems in your life, being one of those who is motivated from within, I use all of these formulas and more to keep myself going. So, I give this final advice, build the power consciousness and you will have genuine strength, resilience and greatness.
