Physical Intelligence - Day 24

If I am counting on external motivations as a primary driver, this serving up of illusion may sustain motivation for so long but it is not a sustainable practice.  Last year I was counting the results that did not go "our way" and one year on, lo and behold I am doing the very same exact thing, where this week Chelsea asserted their dominance yet again and Tottenham fans like me started to dream of what could have been for decades on end.  Chelsea went 7pts clear again and beat Tottenham in the FA Cup Semi-Final on Sunday despite not playing that well.  When we are counting on external motivations we are collecting bricks and then our life is somewhere between the value and the weight of those bricks.  Carrying external weight makes no sense, as much as not being intelligent about weight - a brick existence becomes an empty facade.

External motivation is plentiful but empty if all it does is make us smarter about motivational theory rather than actual physical practice :
