MIT researchers wanted to know what motivated people to change and also why so few “change programs” were ever actually completed in well-meaning organizations. They found that someone can be motivated to do something, yet still not follow through when distractions occur or other things come along.
People who attain great change, or follow through, transcend motivation and volition. They ask themselves, What will happen if I don’t do this?
As we explore this concept this week taken from Jesus, Career Counselor, imagine for a moment your situation regarding your career. Have you lost motivation? Your drive is gone? You cant’t find your mojo to do the same things you used to do.
Risk invites us to ask the question: What will happen if I don’t do this? Try volition on this today. You may have the motivation but have you thought about volition?
Risk:1) possibility of loss or injury: peril 2) someone or something that creates or suggests a hazard 3) the chance that an investment (as a stock or commodity) will lose value
Moving from Motivation to Volition this week! Let’s Risk
