Incentive

Prisoners of mental slavery live in a world of scarcity and lack. They believe one must lose something to gain something which explains the "what's in it for me?" reaction  when asked to give or do something for an other(s.)  

Because Ego is concerned with none other than maintaining its own existence (using Fear to cause and maintain  conflict and drama) Ego has convinced you it's there to protect and defend you, when in fact, that's quite the contrary! Because Ego needs Time to exist (it can not exist for very long, if at all, in the Present moment/the Now,) it refuses to allow you to forget the Past and convinced you, because of the Past, the Future will not only not get better, it will get worse! (Fear)

Because you have forgotten Who's you are (God's creation, made perfectly in His Image) you really believe  "you can't afford this/that" and all the other "stuff" Ego made up yet you accept as truth. Sad.

You begin to negotiate when it comes to giving (your Time, Money, Service, etc.) because Ego convinced you to "lookout" for yourself first. You've forgotten that blessings come, abundantly, when you put others first (humility.) 

Allow the Holy Spirit to remind you of who you are so the light, that has never left you, no matter how dim, will once again shine through you. For this light, the Present moment, is where incentives are seen for what they are, positive motivational influences, nothing more and nothing less. When you're ready to experience Life on a deeper level, please know you already have (within) all you'll ever need in Life therefore incentives best benefit those that do not remember that!

When you put others first, you never need motivation because Ego is not part of the equation and it's from this point "miracles," "coincidences," "luck," "answered prayers"  and other inexplicable things happen!  Peace
