Motivation theorists have long struggled with the question of what arouses and energizes a behavior or set of behaviors. The main emphasis of the Inglish 'me' Method is to educate individuals in the ability to identify and control the factors that affect their behavior and to protect the well-being of the individual while facilitating permanent behavioral changes.
Current Issues in Motivation
In recent years there has been a concentrated effort to integrate information concerning the biological, the learned and the cognitive sides of human beings. The newer theories are, for the most part, not usually empirically based. They start with existing historical data and endeavor to explain exactly how the factors of motivation interact. With newer theories come new questions. Some of these questions are as follows:
To what extent can behaviors be changed?
How do environmental stimuli function as sources of
motivational arousal?
What behaviors are caused by multiple determinants versus
single determinants?
Why do certain behaviors exist in the absence of stimuli?
How do the motivational systems within a human being
interact to cause a certain set of behaviors?
To what extent is our behavior under cognitive control?
What motivational factors enhance our lives and what motivational factors act as barriers to a triumphant life?
The Inglish 'me' Method is empirically based, effectively answers these and other questions and explains not only the levels of motivation that a person has, but also the type of motivation. When applied to the issues of an empirical solution to life's difficult challenges the Inglish 'me' Method provides a revolutionary curriculum design and delivery.
The first educational stages empower a person with insight as to what sources of motivation are at work within them. However, insight alone does not necessarily produce the desired behavioral change whereas curriculum skill application will. Behavioral change follows well-known principals of learning and personal reinforcement. Negative motivation as well as positive motivation exists in everyone to some degree. The difference for most persons is in the strengths and levels of the maladaptive (destructive) motivation patterns and how they negatively effect behaviors and quality of life.
The Inglish 'me' Method has at it's center the idea that positive and negative motivations operate independently. People have both pleasure and pain centers. They often are operating at the same time. Negative behaviors can and usually do have short-term positive rewards. Therefore, a person can become very confused about what is and is not “good” for them, thereby establishing a life full of internal and external conflicts. This then explains why often people don't change even in the face of long-term negative consequences or strong moral beliefs. The Apostle Paul stated this situation extremely well when he said “For I delight in the law of God after the inward man, but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity...”
In addition to labeling which source of motivation is at work, the curriculum also divides each of these categories into smaller units for better understanding. A new vocabulary is taught for clarity and effective communication purposes so as to eliminate triggers to past negative behavioral patterns.
The curriculum by it's nature is customized to the individual participants' application and presenting reason for attendance. When a participant has enough knowledge to identify his/her own negative motivations and their triggers he/she then is taught and develops the skill ability to control the motivational sources of life, thereby becoming successful and persistent at task = sustained behavioral change.
The Inglish 'me' Method addresses individual differences without attention to religion, race, national origin, color, creed, gender or age. This allows the curriculum to meet most individual needs and integrate the participant into the educational program according to motivational profiles rather than demographic profiles.
This new millennium will have a quality of life only as excellent as our ability to develop the human condition to a level of positive motivation and elevated understanding through life skill education. The Inglish Motivational Enhancement Method (The Inglish 'me' Method) has the newest motivational technologies, techniques, and strategies while providing the added advantages of a long history of expertise and experience.

The Inglish 'me' Method has at its very core the desire to facilitate persons to “pilot” themselves toward a benevolent, triumphant life, while successfully serving not only themselves and others, but the world at large.
