How do I change that pattern?

Question - Gurudev, my best comes out when I am pushed against a wall. It becomes a matter of do or die. That's the time when have laser sharp focus, composure, drive and motivation to fulfil all my desires and intentions. But when I'm happy, comfortable and joyful, I can't seem to have that same composure and drive to motivate myself. How do I change that pattern?

Gurudev Sri Sri - Then ask someone to push you against the wall (laughs). There are no walls here. If you're not married, get married. Tell your spouse to do it for you. If you think that your best will only come out if you are in danger and pushed against the wall, then you have put such an intention in your mind, and that's what is going to happen all the time. But you can do it even when you are happy, when you are joyful, and when you are free. But if you have recognised it as your pattern, then it is your responsibility. Nothing else can help you. Only you can help yourself. You can say, “Now, today I am happy, I am going to do it”.
