It is customary to call a “motivation” positively charged goals such as improvement, while the word “manipulation” is used for a hidden and negative conditioning, like watch out so it does not get worse.
In fact, motivation can be positive and negative, and manipulation is leadership and control. Actually, it is management - in the literal sense of the word, if translated from Latin. Therefore, the most effective option is to lead people using positive and negative motivation.
Ideally, this should be done openly and honestly, but the offended, unhappy and angry people with whom you have to deal, do not at all strive to honestly do better for themselves and others.
Quite the opposite: they prefer procrastination and sabotage.
And here we can get help from our inner observer. Having taken this position and risen above the situation, we exclude ourselves from the equation, not trying to feel or think for others as how that would work for ourselves. We just look from above and take it as it is.
Someone wants to prove something to others? Great! We will tell him that this is exactly the case. And if he succeeds, he will really seem like a cool guy, and if he doesn’t, then everyone will see what kind of loser he really is.
Somebody does not care about the essence of the project, but simply wants to make some money? Well, it suits us too! Fewer high words about goals and values, more numbers that will be transferred to the account of the performer in case of successful completion of the task.
The team are complete children and do nothing without supervision? Okay, we find among them a latent Cerberus with a watchman's syndrome and entrust her with the task of grazing everyone and being in charge. We praise her for successes, we hold her accountable for failures.
What is really difficult is to manage ourselves, because we always know both sides of our inner barricades. Let's look at this using the example of our own future money.
Polls show that very few people think about their old age, if they have not yet approached 40, or even 50 years. And this is the horror of the money psychology: as in everything else, we feel, think, speak and act situationally. But this is that rare and important case when you need to do everything in advance, for the future.
Moreover, any Russian-speaking person over 30 can remember the experience of losing all the parental money on their saving accounts and collapses of financial pyramids. Also, we remember the collapse and renaming of the entire state and its currency, which is now quite soft.
Such an experience, in theory, forever kills blind hope for the better and suggests that there is no reason that would keep other stable states from currency and political collapse at any moment. But if you want, you can always close your eyes or wear rose-colored glasses.
This is, of course, scary. Therefore, it is better not to think and do nothing. It’s later, then, someday, we still have to live up to it, and then we'll figure it out. But how do we figure anything out later then with our aging brains? At God’s willing, I suppose.
Wake up, dear people. Take a look around, sort it out here and now, roll up your sleeves and take action. Your own business, real estate, etc. And if you entrust your money to some professionals, then surely in different countries and different currencies - put your eggs in different baskets. And maybe something will work out. Also, no guarantee.
If not, then there is exactly one guarantee: old age in poverty and disease. Do not suppress your senses, do not drive away these thoughts. Stand up and look as far and clear as you can. The psychology of money is still the same psychology, you can get trained and set it all up to work for you.
