perhaps you drive a car. what's driving you?

What is your motivation? Why do you do what you do? Seriously. Sit there and think about it.

Start with the basic stuff: why do you brush your hair? Because you don't want to look like a 4 year old or homeless person, perhaps. Why do you go to work/school? To either better yourself or just pay the bills, perhaps. Ok I'm done giving you answers....you get the thought. Go through your day and reflect.



So many of us have passions we pursue. We have those things that tempt us. Those around us that direct some of our desires (i.e. taking a job to care for your family vs. taking a dream job that would pull you away from them). But we also have those things that we do to make us feel whole. Ever think about what yours is? Perhaps there's more than one? So often we don't realize what we do in the pursuit of completing ourselves, but others might. Maybe your best approach is to ask around from trusted sources from what they think your source of motivation is.

Just a simple self reflection, but the better you know how you are wired, the better you can direct yourself toward your goals and the ultimate goal of becoming more Christlike.
