The idea to understand is that when you make choices, your choices are based on your motivation and your motivation is based on your definitions. This is the other way to explain the three-part process. Your behavior your choices, are based on your motivations. Your motivations are based on your emotions which stem from your definitions which are your beliefs. So anytime you are making a choice it is always because you have been motivated to make that choice.
Motivation only has two parts to it, that is all there is to motivation.
You will always, in every single case, you will always choose what you perceive to be the choice that is closest to pleasure and furthest from pain. So, many times you may choose things that on one level seem to be detrimental or destructive to you, but if you keep choosing it, that simply means that you must have a definition in your belief system somewhere, that says that regardless of how painful it is to keep choosing that, you are somehow defining it as being less painful than making any other choice. That's why it is so powerful to get in touch with what your belief systems are. Because, when you find out why you may be defining something as pleasurable or painful and you change the definition, you will instantly change your motivation, and you will instantly change the choices that you make. You are all motivated people, none of you lack motivation none of you lack trust.
