No motivation after awakening
No motivation after awakening?
What Scott says
They come to me and they say the things I used to do, I don't like to do anymore. The friends that I used to like to hang out with, I don't want to hang out with them anymore. And my career, I don't want to do my job anymore. I don't want to do my major anymore.
I don't want to do my career. It's very common. Eventually, what happens is as the old way of acting and being motivated dies, then this emptiness and stillness is born. And if you can surrender and accept and not fight the emptiness and stillness that is born in place of the motivation and desire, then a new way of motivation and a new way of acting is born in that out of that emptiness and stillness.
And that is a more authentic and inaligned way of acting and moving through the world that comes from your own intuition and your own body and soul, as opposed to coming from an idea of who you think you should be and how you think you should act.
