Higher Purpose

Hello Everyone,
 
How do you motivate yourself to stay encouraged when you feel like giving up? I recently watched a young girl in a gymnastic class. This young girl was doing the tricks and flips well and was conquering the moves one after another. I noticed something however, after a short period of time she began to look around at what the other children were receiving in terms of feed-back from the instructors and she seemed to not be getting any. After a period of time she stopped trying and was no longer able to complete the same tricks. I could see the doubt wash over her and her confidence left her. It made me think, “How do we as adults stay motivated, how do we continue to try our best when we are not receiving any feedback or attention?” I then began to think about being parents, staying loyal in a marriage and doing our best at work. How do we strive to do better or to try harder when what we initially began striving for seems to be gone or not available? This makes me think that we must live for something higher than ourselves. This world does seem to be fleeting; people, situations and things come and go at such an alarming rate that it seems that if we do not find something more to live for, we will digress and fail. We have to find that higher meaning, that higher purpose than us, more than the people or things around us. Maybe it isn’t about conquering, but about reaching out and never stopping. Never settling for being good enough for those around us, but good enough for a higher purpose like loving and helping. I challenge everyone to find what drives you, and I am hoping it is not a person or a thing. Let it be more, more than your car or your next house. Find the why for your drive and embrace it, check in with it and enjoy your process. I hope this week you have peace and gratitude and that you focus less on the things around you and more on your higher purpose.
 
Take care everyone and thanks for reading…
