MOTIVATION

What makes you wake up every morning? Is it the insects that crawl up on your bed? Oh or the crowing of the jogoo being fattened for the festivities? Or the sun rays are too bright you cannot sleep? Ama the irritating alarm clock that is just too faithful for your liking?Wait, is it the loud music from your neighbour who recently bought a home theatre and is still fine tuning the sound? Or the fact that everybody is up anyway? Closer to the point; What exactly woke you up today?

Well, those are too many questions already.I asked the many questions because what wakes up in the morning is what determines how well we carry on with the day. Every gazelle runs fast enough to avoid becoming prey to the lion who also runs so fast to avoid staying hungry. That is how powerful a motivation is.
Trust me a deer would run slower of it weren't running for its life. A cheetah would slow down if its satisfaction did not depend on it. Both have to run as fast as their motivation. 

Like the lion and gazelle, we got to get running too. Not just running after food or from the predator, but running towards our purpose.I know it is God who woke you up.But,WHY? WHAT FOR?You see, for each one of us there is a God given purpose for which we are alive.

As Myles Munroe would say "We are still around because our being alive still has a mission to accomplish". When the purpose is the motivation, then we are able to exploit the potential deposited in us.

Honestly, there are days I have woken up simply because it's morning.However majorly, I wake up because of my desire to inspire hope and to make a positive difference in the lives of people in the simplest way I know.

That's me, how about you?
