Motivation Equation

Need x Faith = Motivation -> Action -> Result

Faith is simply defined as you should feel and act as if you have achieved it before it happens.

If you have a need and you have faith you can achieve it, you will put action.
Either of  the parameter is zero or less, so that the action.

The higher the intensity of our responsibility, the higher the motivation.  But the motivation without faith and action leads to frustration.

Self Programing Components

Every individual creates his own environment wherever he lives.  The core elements, which influence our environment are our thought process, belief system, attitude, feelings, and behavior.

Our THOUGHTS mostly influenced by our education, experience, and the environment we live creates the BELIEF system. What we believe is not necessarily be true as it is influenced by our thought process.  Our believe system develops the ATTITUDE  i.e. how we see things happening around us .  If we take it affirmatively our FEELINGS will be positive, which in turn results in a positive action (BEHAVIOR).

CONCLUSION:  To change the environment we live, we have to process our thoughts i.e. we have to improve our wisdom with right association and the acquired knowledge with action gives better experience, which again creates good feelings within us and the cycle goes on.

Unseen controls the seen

If we ever thought of about the difference between the living and the dead, the basic elements that the dead lacks are the energy that activates the senses of the body, the thoughts and emotions that drives the body through action, and the conscience that  governs thoughts and actions.
So we may define soul consists thoughts, emotions, and conscience, which performs with the help of a physical entity, the body - an organized set of tools.
