Hearing A Child Is Good

How do you react to the title of this chapter? If you react at all negatively at the thought

that it advocates fulfilling your wants, it is a good indication that the natural motivation of

your internal child has been buried at least to some extent under a pile of internal

parental “ought to’s.” As seen in the previous chapter, the child voice speaks in terms

of “what is” while the parent speaks in terms of “what ought to be.”

I encourage you to silence the internal parent during the reading of this chapter so that

the child’s voice can be heard. Internal motivation and newfound enthusiasm will occur

as the child discovers again the path that will lead him/her to what s/he truly wants to

do.

A study of very successfully motivated people has produced the chart on the following

page.

The chart summarizes the four commonalities of those successfully motivated people.

First. . . the upper lefthand quadrant indicates that these people worked in their area of

Passion. What would you do if money was no object? What do you enjoy doing as a

hobby? Truly successful people have found ways of incorporating their areas of

passion into their work.

Secondly, the upper righthand quadrant has to do with Talent. No one can get very

motivated about working in an area in which they don’t have talent. This is a very

difficult area in which to self-assess. A good question in that quadrant is “what have

others told you you’re good at?

In helping you identify talents, you might take a moment to look at the following list of

words and just circle the one(s) that you like to do:

administering counselling exploring instructing

analyzing deciding filing inventing

auditing diagnosing gathering leading

collaborating exhibiting inspiring monitoring

nurturing negotiating selling thinking

painting recruiting sharing troubleshooting

photographing rehabilitating speaking tutoring

planting reporting summarizing writing

predicting researching systematizing promoting

restoring resolving tabulating supervising

If you like to do it, there’s a very good chance that you’re good at it.
