What Gets You Going? - Stay Motivated!
In today's society it is very hard to stay motivated. There's competition everywhere, right? I'm just wondering, what in the world motivates you? Family, friends, mentors, co-workers? The list goes on. Sometimes even music motivates people. Usually, I find inspiration through music. I always think about sports & how certain songs motivate players. Or in their case, it usually gets them hype, charged, or excited about the game they are about to play.
I am so thankful to be apart of a fast growing church, where I am fed daily. What inspired me to write this article is something my pastor said, "When you are a 5 hang out with 6s and 7s", find people around you that are doing better than you. That are mentally, emotionally & financially stable. People who have done things to change their environment like taking risks and making sacrifices. These people are very valuable, they can teach you something. These people MOTIVATE and get you going!
Be brave enough to let go of people who are dead vines -- have courage. You know, those people who call you every weekend to hang out and do absolutely NOTHING. or wait, better yet; your girlfriends who want to go see "so and so" and the hottest club in the city on a week day. Yea, girlfriend, find time to let these people go or minimize their access to your life. You need people around you that are constantly feeding you knowledge, giving love, & even listen to you. They are your team members in this game called life - play hard and don't stop till its finished.
Now ask yourself, "what gets you going?"
