People sometimes wonder, “What motivates a conscious leader?” The question comes as they begin to realise that so much of their motivation has been coming from below the line. Below the line motivation is any motivation that comes from fear, threat or lack. If you are doing what you do because you feel a lack of approval, control, security or oneness then you’re being motivated from below the line. You’re lacking something very important and the need will be met by something or someone out there. If you’re motivated by guilt or shame or someone else’s agenda, you’re motivated from below the line. This post talks about the new reasons for doing something and what the new source of motivation is particularly when it comes to becoming a conscious leader.
