Well, let me tell you, this higher drive thing, it ain’t as fancy as them city folks make it sound. It’s just about wanting something real bad and going after it, like when you’re hankering for a good apple pie and you gotta get those apples from the tree, no matter how high up they are. This higher drive, it makes you do stuff, even when you’re tired or don’t feel like it. You want something, you gotta put in the work.
It’s like when you’re planting seeds. You don’t just toss ’em on the ground and hope for the best. You gotta dig in the dirt, water ’em, keep the weeds out. That’s higher drive. You want them tomatoes, you gotta work for ’em. See, having a higher drive, it is important. You do not have it, you get nothing done. I remember one time my son, he wanted a bicycle. That boy saved up all of his money, mowed all the lawns in the neighborhood, to get that bicycle. That’s higher drive.
Now, how do you get this higher drive? Well, it ain’t something you buy at the store. You gotta find it inside you. Think about what you really want. Not just what other folks want for you, but what you want. Maybe it’s a new pair of shoes, maybe it’s learning how to knit, maybe it’s getting a better job. Whatever it is, you gotta picture it in your head, clear as day. That is important. Having a clear goal makes you wanna work for it.
- Find what you want: Like I said, figure out what you really want. Not what your neighbor wants, not what your kids want, but what you want.
- Think about it a lot: Keep that thing you want in your mind. Think about how good it’ll feel to have it.
- Don’t give up easy: It ain’t gonna be easy. There will be hard days, days you don’t feel like doing anything. But you gotta keep going.
- Ask for help if you need: People can help you to get what you want. Do not be afraid to ask.
- Be happy about little wins: You finished one small thing? Good! Be happy about it!
This higher drive, it’s like a muscle. You gotta use it or it gets weak. So start small. Pick one thing you want to do, and do it. Then pick another thing, and do that. Pretty soon, you’ll be doing all kinds of things you never thought you could. You will find it easier and easier to get things done. Also, do not think too much. You want something, count to three, and go do it. It is easy. The key is not to think about it too much. Just go and do it.
Now, some folks, they get their higher drive from other people. They see someone else doing something amazing, and they think, “I wanna do that too!” That’s fine. Just make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons. Don’t do it just to show off. Do it because you want to. If you want to be like someone else, go for it. They did it, so can you. But remember, do it for yourself.
And don’t be afraid to fail. Everybody fails sometimes. That’s just part of life. The important thing is to get back up and try again. You might have to try a few different ways before you find the one that works. That’s okay. Just don’t give up. My old grandma used to say, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” She was a smart woman.
There is also something inside your body that can help. There is something called “Dopamine” that makes you feel good. It will come out when you are about to get something you want. So if you want something, your body will help you get it. It is like magic, but it is real. This will help you to get higher drive.
So there you have it. That’s all I know about this higher drive business. It ain’t rocket science. Just find something you want, work hard, and don’t give up. You can do it. I know you can. Just remember what I told you. Keep your eye on the prize, and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. You’re stronger than you think. You want that apple pie, go get those apples! You want a better life, go make it happen! It is all up to you. You are the one who can make your dreams come true.
