Motivations

 

Why do I do what I do?

There are people who really don't care why they do things as long as those things appear to work, prosper, and appear beneficial to their ideas of what life should be. I have found that not questioning usually means I am avoiding something. I am missing a chance to grow.

Life is a journey whether I like that idea, or not, and movement is seldom present without fluctuations. Avoiding questions usually means those fluctuations will ultimately be bigger, because, left unattended, bad things tend to fester until they can no longer be ignored. 

Over the years I have discovered that peace is generally a time when the fluctuations roll like gentle waves. An adjustment here, a tweak there, and these minor uncomfortable times help me to be prepared for the reality of the changes in my life. I am motivated to stay up to date on my learning curve!

I certainly do not know everything and knowing that I don't know helps me navigate all the bumps in the road with less drama. I expect to have to change and realize that for better or worse I will be able to continue changing as life moves on. Not all changes will be the correct ones, but that is okay, because I will be able to make more later on.

The point is trying to be honest and open with myself as well as gentle. I will never be perfect, but I can be authentic and purposeful and even happy.
