How Can I Get Better Today?
The answer – Get Motivated. And it’s your job to motivate you!
The easiest way to get motivated is to know WHY you do what you do. Our WHY is our purpose,
cause, or belief – the driving force behind everything we do. Having a WHY will motivate us to keep
going not only in good times but in the bad times too. Our WHY can motivate us to make great
decisions and choose the right thing to do in the face of adversity.
3 questions to answer how to be purpose driven, clear sighted and continually motivated…
1) Why am I doing what I am doing?
2) What do I want to accomplish from doing this?
3) How do I want to be remembered when I am gone from this experience or season of life?
Answering these questions will help keep us internally motivated and able to overcome adversity when
it comes. It is coming!
My answers:
1) To serve as a positive role model for young people and to help others be the best
version of themselves. Be a shining star which God made me to be, make a difference and serve
others.
2) I hope to help others be better and have a better life while striving to be their very best. 3) As a
lifelong learner who loves others and tries hard to make a difference.
It is my opinion that if you can answer these questions sincerely, you will not have an issue being
motivated. When you are internally motivated to serve and help others, you have a mission that will be
absolutely awesome to pursue.
I believe one of our missions from God is to serve others. God gave the ultimate sacrifice, his son, for
us! We need to sacrifice ourselves for others and live a life of purpose!
