[ life is hard. let's all deal with that fact together. ]

What exactly is a personal motivator meant to do?

Are people truly confused enough by their own pitiful, lackluster intentions that they're willing to seek others supposed professional help simply so they can carry on with routine tasks?

Is this motivation meant to include every act of waking life (dare say I need not list what these are) or simply those that might be perceived as more strenuous. Because, as I have always found, personal motivation can truly only come from one source. You. It is called personal after all, the definition of the word implying that it has to do with one person and one person alone. And that person would not be the person you hired to tell you what you so obviously would rather not be doing in the first place.

If you require the motivation, perhaps you need look elsewhere. Forsake things all together. Or even, if you'd like the inspiration so very much, you might try finding it for yourself. I've heard there are some rather plentiful benefits to taking that sort of thing under your own wing, compared to allowing others to push you into behaviors you don't truly have interest in to begin with.

It's amazing our ancestors made it anywhere, really.

Now, perhaps if you'd like to get hypothetical and claim there are a number of other 'personal motivators' then perhaps you might be on a far better track.

If I'm to be honest, I prefer more personal communication than anything said over more open networks.

A wise decision, as far as I'm concerned.

Then at least we can begin by agreeing on that much.

I'll call it the start of a beneficial friendship.

Then you'd be giving it an excellent name.

I'm glad we agree. Or rather, the optimist within me hopes we agree.

And my own personal lack of nihilism means something will come of it either way.

That's inspiring. You could easily be quite the motivator, I have no doubt.

I'm sure my methods will be soundly appreciated.

I'm inclined to ask for a demonstration.

A psychiatrist in need of personal motivation? Or would you prefer another guinea pig?

I'd opt for the latter, if it's all the same to you. Who knows what you might motivate me to do, after all.

We can certainly arrange that.

At the very least, I can attest that you're quite good at filling your schedule.

Lots of attention already. This is competitive.

What can I say, I enjoy the potential of options.

Some of those options might have their own agendas. Or do you simply anticipate that fact from everyone?

Don't most have their own needs in mind while offering opportunities?

I've come across a surprising percentile of those more altruistic. Or plainly naïve.

A percentile we ourselves abstain from, evidently.

And it stands to reason that we have more to gain for their loss.

Do you have any plans in mind for that, specifically?

As of yet, I might have one or two.

Color me intrigued. Perhaps you and I will talk down the line -- once one or two of those plans you might have are in motion.

Of course. I'd be happy enough to share, given the reason. I'd prefer doing so over remaining with nothing to do.

Feel free to give me a call, when that time comes. I'll look forward to it, Mr. Sark.

Of course. I will, once i've settled in. Until then.
