      MOTIVATION AND KNOWLEDGE

      M ANY PERSONAL AND social problems and conflicts would perhaps be resolved before turning into issues if we would use words on condition of knowing their meanings, rather than just knowing or recognizing the word because of hearing it over and over again. That’s always true in our everyday life, starting within ourselves or with communication with others.

      For example, we think of a word like motivation, and we start to think about it and then want to take action. But we truly don’t know the meaning of motivation, so we think it must be some sort of energy or power or fuel to get us to be more active toward our goals. We think it’s something that we are missing and we take action to have it, yet we truly don’t know what it means. Then after a few minutes or hours or days, we give up. We don’t feel the motivation any more, or we forget the feeling of motivation as it was originally, and we don’t see much value in it. Then the negative thinking of not being capable starts, and after, the feeling of sadness sets in.

      We experience that in communicating with others as well. When we explain a subject to someone, and before we complete the sentence, they make the rational saying, I know what you mean, without having had the same experience of joy, pain, victory, etc. They just say, I know, I know, and after explaining more and more, they admit they haven’t had the same experience as you have. We experience this type of assumption about knowledge and knowing every day without realizing we do it. This pattern of thinking and behavior is what needs to be corrected for the individual to be able to have a more realistic thinking and approach to setting goals and moving forward with them.

      In cognitive behavior therapy today, the cognitive model proposes that dysfunctional thinking is common to all psychological disturbances. When people learn to evaluate their thinking in a more realistic and adoptive way, they experience a decrease in negative emotion and maladaptive behavior (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Basics and Beyond, J. S. Beck, page 4). To be thinking in a more realistic and adoptive way is the way we start to learn about ourselves, which has to do with Why would I? What would I? How would I? and many other questions that stop us from being motivated. Therefore, this type of thinking helps with our level of cognition and knowledge about ourselves. CBT has had many successes in different areas of psychology because of this very reason that it bases treatment on a cognitive formulation.

      Paying attention to realistic thinking and cognition at different levels of all the research that many have
