Episode Synopsis

Each of us is motivated by either pain or pleasure. We use them interchangeably but one of them often predominates.  For most of my life, I thought that it doesn't matter which one of those motivates me more as long as I am motivated and driven.  As I discovered later on, there is a difference in whether we are motivated by pain or pleasure. It shows in our emotional state, as well as a willingness to go beyond limits.  To understand what motivates you in life, ask yourself: "Am I being motivated by running away from something that causes pain or am I being motivated by running towards something that brings pleasure?"  In today's podcast episode, I am going to teach you how to use both effectively.  Tune in and learn: - how understanding your pains leads to healing - how to use the pain to your advantage  - the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs and its effect on your motivation  - why being motivated by pleasure should be your primary source of motivation
