Setting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, I decided that I would choose motivation for the #faithbites topic but then changed it to love as it was Valentine’s Day. I thought that how we are motivated is essential for success. For some it’s internal motivation, others it’s external. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as God would have it, he was messing with me. Today, a friend saw my post about my frustrations with weight loss and wanted to help. It got down to the point that my head isn’t there yet. In other words, I’m not yet motivated enough to change. He gave me good advice and was being a good friend. I thank him for that. I have the internal motivation of feeling better and the external of being there for my kids and wife, but it’s not quite enough yet. What’s missing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I think about it, it’s prayer. I need to prayerfully consider God’s plan for everything. Weight loss is just one benefit of an overall issue of stress, overwork, and lack of rest. Being energized to serve God, which includes being a good parent, spouse, friend, and son comes naturally with it. I’m almost there, I just need to pray on it a bit more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s questions: How are you motivated? What is stopping you from achieving whatever dream you have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
