Why do you do what you do? Or why don’t you do what you don’t do? These questions fascinate me; I’m relentlessly curious about what drives human behavior.
We like to think that we know what motivates our actions or failure to act. But the truth is more complicated. This poem speaks to the complexities of understanding our own behavior.
what motivates you?
why do you do what you do?
what sparks your action?
the reason you give
is a story you made up
you don’t really know
your sacred belief
that you control your actions
is an illusion
your unconscious thoughts
trigger the emotions that
drive your behavior
emerge from darkness
through the light of awareness
discover your choice
Love it? Hate it? What do you think? Don't hold back...
