What Drives You...

On a different note,

I wonder how many of us have actually taken the time to ponder what drives us? What motivates us? I remember years ago as a manager seeking ways to inspire my workers, and realizing everyone has different needs, wants & desires. What is it that gets you to a place of pushing through the hurdles in order to reach your goals?
I would imagine most would initially think it's money... although I would challenge you to work to another level. Money is a staple, it's something we all need... In reality the money would be used for paying bills, travelling, hobbies, toys, etc... SO, is it the money, or what You could do with it? Maybe you fulfillment comes in serving others, or time off from work to spend time with family. Could it be the journey that provides the sense of accomplishment, or just finishing in general? Think about it... if You don't know what drives you, how can you leverage in times you truly need to accomplish a goal?!?
Part of setting a goal or objective is creating a plan to achieve it. Hopefully we are setting challenging goals, thus we will definitely need a plan to push through the hard parts.By knowing your strengths & weaknesses, you are better prepared for the mountains and valley's this life provides. As we endure, we should be learning! And typically we are keen on our failures, short comings, weaknesses, but we should be just as aware of our strengths... That is Power!
As we venture into this new year, we will set new goals, and we know we will endure trials. God provided us all different gifts, different skill sets to accomplish His goals. So, as we mature and align our lives with His plan, these traits will be required and utilized. Think about watching a super hero movie... they all spend the tie to understand and control their strengths, as they provide opportunity! Whats inspires You? Time, Money, Talents, Gifts, Giving, Learning, etc?
It's time we take control of the life we live... start living on Purpose! This life will never be a cake walk, so knowing what hinders us, what motivates us, and Who is actually leading makes ALL the difference!! If we can adhere to these factors, our life will be much more fruitful! Let's be productive this year... Prosperous, Victorious... and persevere instead of pouting! Life's happening right Now!!

Good day & God Bless,
Chris
