Does Motivation And Purpose Drive You Out Of Bed Every Morning?

Posted on February 23, 2008 - Filed Under Self Improvement

Did you spring out of bed this morning full of purpose, or you reluctantly crawled out of it? Did you get out of bed this morning ready to soar way up like an eagle, full of purpose despite the challenges you face which seem insurmountable? Or, you woke up this morning feeling downcast and not ready to take on the day ahead of you. Do you feel you have already lost the day’s battle even before your day begins?

Listen up, if this last part of the paragraph above describes you, I have been sent to you today to give you encouragement. First off, I say to you right now that you and you alone must fight your way out of the negative feeling. You must bring out from within you the real you to confront the other you that is sending wrong messages to the real you inside of you. You must settle this first and foremost by yourself from within you, before you enlist outside help. Why, How? you ask. Simple! Because there’s a fighter within you, you just don’t know it yet. You are a very strong willed person. You are a giant. How do I know? Well, because God has a purpose for your life. You are not on this planet by accident or some coincidence. Your purpose is waiting for you to discover and tap into it and walk into the abundance before you. Period.

Discover the purpose for getting out of bed every day and you have already begun to win your daily battle(s). There is passion for something inside of you. Maybe it is in your career at that same job where you do not feel like going to, today. Perhaps it is in the business you are currently running. Is it in your talent, perhaps? Find it. It is there, within you. From my experience I find helping others as I am enabled spurs me on. I am convinced now that my purpose is to use my talents, skills and resources for the benefit of those worse off than me. It brings me fulfillment and lots of joy to see another person praising God because I was able to be of help. This truly inspires me to look forward to each new gift of life. You too when you discover this, you will be whistling, again!

When you have discovered your purpose, it does not matter what seems like a challenge in your day’s path. You are already a winner. Many times the challenges we face are not really as big as we make them out to be. Nothing is ever as difficult as it first appears. A lot of times it is our runaway imaginations that magnify anthills into mountains. In any case if you have a challenge which you are not ready to face up to and fight now, how will it go away, especially today? If you cannot tackle today’s challenge in today’s time frame, rest assured that it will not disappear today and the likelihood that it will be part of tomorrow’s challenge(s) is high! Tomorrow is tomorrow, today is today. Two different days! So, what to do? Burn your yesterday’s ship at the shores of your morning and soldier on into the dawn of your tomorrow. Do not look back, lest you turn into a pillar of salt!

I remember not too long ago in my past, when faced with serious challenges, how I would be sulky, panicky, fearful and angry all the time at life. Every kind of negative barrier would be so visibly amplified in my focus that in the midst of it all I would see no escape route. My vision would be nothing but foggy. Then one day I was set free. I decided enough was enough. I was not going to run and hide any more. I was going to face up to each day’s challenges squarely, one at a time whatever it takes. Guess the biggest discovery I made? I will tell you. The fact that God had willed it for me to be alive each day, meant that I was getting another chance or opportunity if you like, to succeed. The fact that I was alive, well and kicking was chance enough to overcome, with Him. Such a wonderful feeling, I tell you. I do not know the future one minute from now, but He who has given me the gift of life today, also knows where I shall be one minute from any given moment. Now for me that is motivation and encouragement par none. The Lord is indeed my confidence, and hey, look, several years on…I am still here and enjoying a peace that surpasses my understanding!

So then, even for you take each day you are alive as a day that is alive and awash with many opportunities. Some of the opportunities are in the solutions to the challenges you face today. You have opportunities for abundant health and wealth, peace and prosperity. For all you know these are the carats you will find in the challenges and in time you will be the sparkling gem you are meant to be.

Still feeling challenged? Discover your purpose today and everyday will be a motivation enough to look forward to, enough to give you a spring out of bed! It is not too late, even for you. You have an exciting tomorrow ahead of you once you take care of today’s lessons that have come in form of challenges. As for the past, there is no way you will ever get back in there. Forget it. It is gone, forever. Step into today confidently knowing that you can use the positive lessons from your past to help you discover your today and tomorrow. And don’t forget, God has not left you. The fact that you are alive means He is standing by, waiting for your call. He assures that when you call to Him, He will be there, ready to answer and to deliver you from all manner of circumstances. Do you want to ‘take it off your chest?’ Just do it! Come on; cry if that’s what you feel like doing. He has a broad shoulder you can lean on, you know. Remember that His grace is sufficient for you all the time. In your weakest moment, God will come riding high to you with all His strength. Just for you, so that you can live life with purpose. I am!

Did you miss this earlier? Hear me again. Nothing is ever as difficult as it first appears. Say yes to the Lord and He is ready to be your confidence. Listen to this. “The best place to be right now in this entire universe is in God’s will!” So discover God’s purpose for your life and be in His presence.

Now that you have heard, don’t dwell on the tail side. Flip the coin and see the other side, the head side. You are the head. Go be the head. Begin to manifest miracles of joy and peace and love. Bring a breath of freshness into your life. Begin to sing once again, after all there is a song in you waiting to come out, a song of freedom and love. Now go out there and manifest who you really are. A success!

I pray Peace and Prosperity to YOU, in abundance.

I have spent the last 30 years of my life in the IT world as a consultant and as IT manager in the banking industry in my country Zambia. I have discovered new motivation in the last 10 years, in God’s inspired word which is alive in my daily life, inspiring me to spring out of bed every morning with purpose come rain or shine, enjoying peace each day that I wake. Currently I am a motivated emerging internet entrepreneur. I also ‘fellowship’ with other ‘on-liners’ by sharing some of my life experiences on my new blog.: http://www.thewordsmithscode.blogspot.com/ I invite you to go look. My writing is also on candid camera since I made friends with a squidoo who gave me two lenses. http://www.squidoo.com/lifeincyberworld/ and http://www.squidoo.com/faithandtrust/
Writing? I am an amateur scribe! It’s because I can type and my pen-name is TheWordSmith.
