What motivates you? A simple question. One that some may be able to answer quite easily, whereas others may have to think about it for quite some time prior to coming to a conclusive answer. I have been thinking about that word, "Motivation." lately. Probably because we are just embarking upon another new year. Many make goals and plans at the start of a new year. Plans to save money, be more positive, serve more, loose weight, exercise more, be more patient, etc, etc, etc. In the beginning their motivation is high. It is strong! Nothing is going to stop them from reaching their goals...then L-I-F-E happens. We all have experienced this. We get sick. The tire goes flat. We spend more than we should. We lose our temper. Miss a day, or week of exercise. Then where has the motivation that was so well intentioned gone? I don't have an answer, just more curious as to what others use that motivates them. Is there something that you have found that is tried and true that motivates you to be better? Eat better? Save more? Whatever it may be, the list is endless. I know some of what motivates me in certain areas of my life and in others I am still learning what motivates me. One thing I do know to be true is that we will become the person that we chose to be each day! So whatever motivates you keep that in mind! One of my favorite Apostle's of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint's said the following and I believe it to be true!
