Motivations Are What Counts
March 6th, 2010My husband keeps on having these dreams that show what our Family Ranch or rather City of Truth is going to look like. He is actually even seeing it at different stages of development. It started with him seeing what our first house will look like. Next came night visions of what the main Ranch house that is a log cabin prototype looks like. The last dream showed an octagon with rooms on both walls all surrounding a glassed-in indoor swimming pool. He even saw behind the pool with plants at one end, nonetheless!! Clearly this is an advanced stage of our Family Ranch.
My first response is that our Internet Marketing business is still in the foundation stage where little money is coming in. So why is he not having dreams, or myself for that matter, about the internet marketing strategies that we should be attempting and the strategies to carry them out??
Then I am brought up short to the motivation issue. I was always motivated to study so that I would be seen as knowledgeable, given recognition and get a good paying job. Somehow that good paying job has eluded me, but the other two have been achieved at times. However, since I have done a variety of jobs, I feel like I have been given a vast array of education and experience on people and life in general. This should all come in handy at the ranch, since I will be dealing with all types of people.
My husband never saw the value of book learning, as he is a hands-on person. You should see this big man’s wooden chair that he built out of two by fours. I feel like a wee person in a king’s chair when I attempt to sit in it. It makes a great herb drier during the summer months!
Hence, my husband, like many men I would surmise, needs to see the goal ahead to keep on working toward it even when it is not physically apparent. And, yes, I did actually see him get online yesterday and start working again at our Internet Marketing business. It is truly amazing that what motivates one, may not motivate the other.
