You know, Santa, as you was talking about that, I thought about two things. I thought, first of all, it was, it could have been fear and it also could have been love. Love. Yeah. You know, I mean, he loved you. Yeah. He loved life. you know, he was motivated to, because you brought that information to him, he was motivated to hear you.

You know, I mean, he loved you. Yeah. He loved life. you know, he was motivated to, because you brought that information to him, he was motivated to hear you.

And I think that that's the thing about motivation is that there are a variety of ways in which we become motivated. I mean, fear is a great driver, but I also think that, you know, the incentive, the incentive in that particular case was that, you know, your father may have thought about longer life, you know, more, you know, I mean, so there's a variety of ways in which we, We are motivated.

And one of the things I always say is that when I when I talk to my other colleagues, I always ask them what makes them feel appreciated because everybody doesn't doesn't move the same way. You know, folks are motivated by money. Other folks are motivated by, you know, compliments. Other people like to be out front.

You know, folks are motivated by money. Other folks are motivated by, you know, compliments. Other people like to be out front.

They're people that just they don't want to they don't want they just want to do the work. And what motivates them is the fact that you value them enough to let them do their work without putting them on the spot. I mean, so the issue about motivation, I think, and why this conversation is so important is that many times we don't ask people what motivates them.

They're people that just they don't want to they don't want they just want to do the work.

I mean, so the issue about motivation, I think, and why this conversation is so important is that many times we don't ask people what motivates them.

You know, we just we just assume based on how we feel about things. That's how everybody feels about things, you know. So it's not about, you know. Yeah. So I mean, so I think that. it's important when we start talking about motivation and we want to motivate somebody, we need to ask them, you know, what, what, what drives you, what guides you, you know?

And, and, and I, that's, that's just my thought, but I don't think we talk about it enough.

And, and, and I, that's, that's just my thought, but I don't think we talk about it enough.

even being scared isn't working like they know their outcomes but it's just not enough yeah you know um go ahead Clarence go yeah you know I think that that that's an excellent question to ask because I we run across people like that all the time and there's certain things in my life that that I'm not I'm not necessarily I'm not necessarily motivated for it either you know I mean it's just like uh you know like I'm gonna take I'm gonna I'm gonna

even being scared isn't working like they know their outcomes but it's just not enough yeah you know um go ahead Clarence go yeah you know I think that that that's an excellent question to ask because I we run across people like that all the time and there's certain things in my life that that I'm not I'm not necessarily I'm not necessarily motivated for it either you know I mean it's just like uh you know like I'm gonna take I'm gonna I'm gonna

I'm going to shoot the dice, you know, and, and hopefully that, but I mean, that that's, that's part of being a human being. I mean, it's like that, but I, but I think a lot of times people, when they get to that point where they don't care, they feel hopeless.

I'm going to shoot the dice, you know, and, and hopefully that, but I mean, that that's, that's part of being a human being. I mean, it's like that, but I, but I think a lot of times people, when they get to that point where they don't care, they feel hopeless.

You know, I mean, they, whatever, whatever it is in their life, they haven't found that, that, that thing to live for where they just like, you know, I'm, I'm, I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. And it doesn't mean like, you know, they're homeless or anything of that nature.

It's just like sometimes people have experiences in their life that are so overwhelming that they don't know where to go, what to do, how to do it. And there's nobody or support in their life to help them. And so therefore they give up. They survive, but they don't live.
