If the motivation isn't tied to real fruit, just a "reward system" then people will eventually figure out their efforts are largely pointless. I think we need to stop attributing inherent value to motivation itself. It's ok to sit with a lack of motivation if it helps you invest your energy efficiently towards what really matters. But then I'm one of those (manic) people who thrives on freedom and ambiguous goals.

The cost and the structure of the liberal arts system are criminal. I'm finding hope these days though in just doing things that are intrinsically motivating now that I know that performing to other people's crazy expectations is the surest path to failure.

Life seems to get harder every year. Nobody can keep up with daily stuff. And now with everything so expensive we have no control over our lives. I am not rich but I’m debt free and have enough to stay ahead but most people are struggling with no end in sight. People can’t even pick a career, some girls in high school were asking me if they should go into the trades or college and I couldn’t answer them

Nope, I quit school in the 12 grade because I was a clown. I couldn’t catch up second half of the year. Now I tried to go to college at Georgia tech, it was a nightmare also. I didn’t understand yet why I did so bad in school till I got into industrial industry. This learning was a means to an end and then payed off in spades. I love learning when it serves a perpose. Then started my own company for the last twenty years and it was a home run. I retard when I was about 50 that was the beginning of the end to a 35 year marriage. But I am passionate about building anything. You bring up a lot of good points that I had to have myself to in the last five years. Cause I lost sight of who I was as a person and when you do that, there’s many rocks I turn over looking for the answer.

I agree with you, I worked on a job for 15 where I knew I was burning myself out but I liked the job and it was challenging me but I left that job and worked for a Food manufacturer for almost 20 years and on this job I didn't feel like I was burning myself out but I wasn't being challenged.
I don't know if I'm explaining this to where you understand it.

Todays corporate organizational structures, their hierarchy are most stifling to creativity. Employees want to thrive and create, producing something that is unique. This brings personal recognition within a real or perceived career path. However the chain of command is not a conducive environment, leading to significant burnout.

As we reboot our culture from its current Patriarchial systems to those of a Matriarchy hope blossoms in the kindest of ways.
I just Uploaded a TikTok about a Psychology Paper. Would love your opinion. Tell me I'm not the crazy one, because I think these Psychologists have lost their minds.

One more comment is an old quote “whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t you are right- you are always right” If we can get our minds to think point of thinking we can, and have no doubts about it then we are going to be fully energized with no burnout

This is interesting because I always thought of burnout as lack of emotional support.

The solution would be easy—just give us the carrot and stop moving the stick farther away. If we work hard and the organization has a good year, give us meaningful bonuses not just a pizza party. But no, they just want to suck us dry, and once you see that, you can’t unsee it, if you have a brain.

This is really good. So… I’ve had a goal of getting my wife to want to give me oral … and 30 years later I’m thinking it’s an ambiguous goal that will probably never happen and it depresses me. What do I do?
