Motivate

There are many things that can motivate someone to do something. I think what makes the someone do the something is the intriguing part. Why does one man achieve great heights of his success ladder while another man wallows in his pit of despair? I think many things can temporarily motivate us. Money, love, self-interest, people, feelings are all things that can motivate someone.

Napoleon said, "There are two levers to set a man in motion, fear and self-interest." Obviously he had a way of motivating men into action. My disagreement with Napoleon comes because I think there are more than two things that has and will motivate someone. My question today is what motivates you? More importantly, what should be motivating you that isn't?

Do you have a sense that what you're doing matters to God and to others? We will only find satisfaction and deeper motivation in what we're doing when we feel that we are giving our lives to a cause that counts.

Until next time...
