Motivation, running and dreams

Do you know why some people never attempt to increase their motivation?
Its because they want to run! its because they are too afraid to peruse their dreams (see What is real courage)

In such a case the subconscious mind of those people who are escaping tries to stir their emotions through their dreams, by sending them a dream that reminds them of their important goals it attempts to make them wake up but some people just prefer to escape.

Those people avoid anything that can remind them of their goals just for the sake of escaping.

If you want to increase your motivation beyond all means then do your best to stir your emotions and to live your dreams.
