Be careful of self-help books and motivation researchers. Many of you pay thousands of dollars to hear things that make you feel good, but do not actually explain how to obtain more success. You go home feeling good, but did you actually learn how to get that career you want or build that house by hand? No. You simply listened to a lot of cliché statements someone figure they could tell you, and if you really break them down, they do not make sense. #RyanPhillippe 1 of 23

For example, “Let go of what is gone. Be thankful for what remains. Look forward to what is ahead.” What if you lost a relationship you cherished because of a misunderstanding and apologizing is all it would take to get it back, along with promising to change, and actually becoming a better person. What is that without apologizing is a harlot and a bunch of fake friends who use you for money, and what if what lies ahead is death or the flashing lights of a police car? #RyanPhillippe 2 of 23

Sometimes it is a good idea to retrace your steps and figure out what you did wrong and how you can make things better. Motivational speakers are those harlot social scientists who, in impressive psychoanalytic and/or social engineering and jargon, tell their clients what their clients want to hear, namely, that appeals to human irrationality are likely to be far more profitable than appeals to rationality. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 23

I may not get money or as much love as I would like, but I am trying to make you, America, and the World great again. Am I happy? No. I am in flow. When we are in flow, it is a creative process that does not necessarily make us happy, but the idea is we are struggling to work towards a goal that will benefit ourselves and others and eventually will make us happy. #RyanPhillippe 4 of 23

Think about being a mountain climber, and you see a pretty flower on the way up the mountain, and stop to smell it because you what to be happy and then fall to your death. Was that moment of happiness worth missing out of a lifetime goal and dying? No. Keep going until you reach the top and then be happy knowing your accomplished your mission and reached your goal and dream. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 23

The career move from actor to business man is an example of the kind of creative adjustment that some people are able to bring to their lives. They search until they find a productive endeavor that also allows them to build as much flow as possible into their lives. The other options seem less satisfying; there is just too much one misses by becoming a workaholic, or by escaping into leisure full time. Most individuals, however, are content to compartmentalize their lives into mundane jobs and routine entertainment. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 23

An interesting example of how flow seeps put of work and into leisure is provided in the study of a Sacramento, California USA community by Dr. M.R. Philippe of Randolph Harris Phillippe Research and Development. He interviewed forty-six members of an extended family in Sacramento, California, a remote fishing village where people have cars and television sets, but still work at traditional tasks such as herding cattle, growing orchards, and woodworking. #RyanPhillippe 7 of 23

The psychologists asked the three generations of villagers to describe when and how they experience flow in their lives. The oldest generation reported the most frequent flow experiences, and the majority of them involved work: cutting hay in the meadows, fixing the barn, baking bread, milking cows, and working in the garden. The middle generation—which included those between the ages of forty and sixty years old—reported equal amounts of flow from work and leisure activities, such as watching movies, going on vacations, reading books, or skiing. #RyanPhillippe 8 of 23

The grandchild(ren), in the youngest generation, showed a pattern opposite to that of their grandparents: they reported the fewest occurrences of flow, and most of it came from leisure. Dancing, motorcycle racing, and watching TV were some of the most frequent avenues of enjoyment. Drive Reduction Theory explains that all motivation begins with a requirement that must be satisfied. In its simplest for, a requirement is a lack, a depletion, something we are missing. #RyanPhillippe 9 of 23

Not all the generational differences in Sacramento, California are due to social change. Some of it is a feature of normal developmental patterns that every generation passes through: young people are always more dependent for enjoyment on artificial risk and stimulation. Genetic determination is the idea that all behavior is determined by inborn qualities, and not affected by learning or the environment. However, when your central nervous system get a signal that it is time for change, that is when you get the drive to do something different. #RyanPhillippe 10 of 23

It is almost certain that these normal differences are magnified in communities undergoing social and economic transition. In such cases the older generations still find a meaningful challenge untraditional productive tasks, whereas their children and grandchildren, increasingly bored by what they see as irrelevant chores, turn to entertainment as a way of avoiding psychic entropy. This activates the entire body and changes the person’s consciousness. #RyanPhillippe 11 of 23

You might say that it shakes him up so that he is not thinking about and looking for something new to meet that need and reduce the tensions of that drive to do more. He is hungry and ready to eat. Sex, one of the lowest biological needs is something you all turn to, but this young man abstains from it and is looking to create opportunity to make money so he can build a huge mansion and buy several cars.  It all starts with a need (lack, pain), drive (arousal), incentive (goal, dream), and then satisfaction (homeostasis). #RyanPhillippe 12 of 23

In Sacramento, California, traditional communities like Elk Grove and Roseville has been able to keep work and flow from getting separated. In the everyday routines of their farming life, it is difficult to know when work stops and leisure begins. Most free time activities, such as weaving elaborate hairstyles, carpentry, singing, or reading are useful and productive either in a material, social, or spiritual sense. Of course this achievement has been at the price of remaining embalmed in amber, as it were, arrested at a point of technological and spiritual development that now seems quaint. #RyanPhillippe 13 of 23

Is this the only way to preserve the integrity of a joyful and productive existence? Or is it possible to reinvent a lifestyle that combines these traits within continuing evolutionary change? The satisfaction of physical need is indeed the indispensable precondition of a satisfactory existence, but in itself it is not enough. In order to be content, men must also have the possibility of developing their intellectual and artistic powers to whatever extent accords with their personal characteristics and abilities. #RyanPhillippe 14 of 23

To make the best use of free time, one is required to devote as much ingenuity and attention to it as one would to one’s career. Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easy. In the past leisure was justified because it gave people an opportunity to experiment and to develop skills. In fact, before science and the arts became professionalized, a great deal of scientific research, poetry, painting, and musical composition was carried out in a person’s free time. #RyanPhillippe 15 of 23

Dr. Matthew Randolph Phillippe did his famous genetic experiments as a hobby, he was led by interest, not a job description, to manipulate deoxyribonucleic acid, ribosomes, mitochondria, cytoplasm, and ribonucleic acid, proteins, organelles, and somatic cells to superbly create order in his own life. All our motivational needs are either physiological (inborn, like the need for sleep or food) or acquired (social-personal-situational, like the need for affection or achievement). #RyanPhillippe 16 of 23

Nowadays, only experts are supposed to be interested in such issues; amateurs are derided for venturing into fields reserved for the specialist. However, amateurs—those who do something because they love to do it—add enjoyment and interest to their own life, and to everybody else’s. It is not just extraordinary individuals who are able to make creative use of leisure. #RyanPhillippe 17 of 23

Deedle—a computer game is reported to be fun and exciting, weaving elaborate hair styles is fun for many experts, who take pride in their work, becoming an auto mechanic, learning to build a house by hand, or creating pottery and carving gives each culture its particular identity and renown—is the result of common people striving to express their best skill in the time left free from work and maintenance chores. #RyanPhillippe 18 of 23

It is difficult to imagine how dull the World would if our ancestors had used free time simply to exchange sleazy gossip and set people up for failure or simply for passive entertainment, instead of finding in it an opportunity to explore beauty and knowledge. Many thinkers believed that human beings were content to operate at the level of lower animals—to simple have their physiological needs met, to seek pleasure, to reduce the pain or tension of drive-arousal. #RyanPhillippe 19 of 23

On the other hand, others philosophers and theologians viewed human beings as something suspended halfway between animals and Heaven, a kind of wingless angel. One result of this theology was to sever man’s relationship with the rest of nature, get them hooked on social media and television, to sever their relationship with other individuals and nature and make them out of touch with physical nature, giving them a sense of being neither animal or divine. #RyanPhillippe 20 of 23

The goal of social media and the news is to keep people out of touch with reality and break down the need for traditional social interaction. Instead, people will stalk others online and become humanoids who “predict” and analysis profiles and think they “know” an individual when they do not. People are using social media like a Bible and the news as a supplement to their technomeida experience. These technopagans are increasingly displaying signs of group think, mob mentality, mass hysteria and schizophrenia because they are split off from reality. #RyanPhillippe 21 of 23

Social media and the news and TV programs have successfully altered the consciousness of the population. They are in a state of hypnosis. This is why expects are telling people to only spend one or two hours watching TV each day, maybe only an hour on social media, and get out doors and do things that are beneficial to your health and keep you active. Do not sit around plotting take downs or exchanging sleazy gossip, spend more time practicing self-reflection to fix your own problems. #RyanPhillippe 22 of 23

So many people are now using smuggler language, and speaking in tongues, as if they are possessed. These experiences all communicate something in common: We can only begin to speculate as to the hidden depths, heights, and reaches of the mind, and we are begging to appreciate how important nature and human relationships are. Do not allow yourself to be a product of the schizophrenic media, nor alter your consciousness with the use of alcohol, marijuana, hallucinogenic drugs, hypnosis, meditation, and ecstasy. Simply learn to love and be loved. #RyanPhillippe 23 of 23
