Had a lit­tle bit of a thought that has been tak­ing shape the last few days… mostly be ask­ing the ques­tion, what moti­vates me? or what moti­vates you?

I sup­pose there is a giant amount of infor­ma­tion on this topic, I could totally go to board­ers and get a entire shelf of books on how this stuff hap­pens. But seri­ously, every­thing aside

What moti­vates you?

There was just a small lit­tle bit of some­thing that I found inter­est­ing in this moti­va­tional dis­cus­sion. I real­ized that in my per­sonal think­ing pat­tern, I am mostly moti­vated by think­ing about the future. I am moti­vated by mak­ing goals for the future and work­ing at try­ing to real­ize them, and I am moti­vated by think­ing about stuff in the future that sounds fun or cool or exciting.

Then I was won­der­ing why I am not moti­vated by things hap­pen­ing in the present. Is there a tough­ness in the present that makes me try to real­ize for the future? Is my per­son­al­ity one that has more of a incli­na­tion to envi­sion­ing for the future?

Is there impor­tance by being moti­vated both by the present and the future?

I sup­pose that what really mat­ters isn’t as much what truly moti­vates me as much… but what moti­vates oth­ers? and is the true con­nec­tion of moti­va­tion hap­pen­ing… is the moti­va­tion impact­ing the present?

So, what moti­vates you?

And here is the real kicker, that my heart and spirit are dig­ging into now… what does scrip­ture have to say about moti­va­tion and its patterns?
