WHAT MOTIVATES YOU

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?

"What motivates you?"  is probably the most frequently asked question by family, friends, coaches, teachers and employers. The answer to this question is the key to love, joy, hope, peace, purpose, careers and a lifetime of opportunity. The answer to this question is the key to your soul and opens the floodgates to a purposeful life. Yes, your answer to this question is more important than the question "who are you?" or "what is your name" because it answers all three.

What motivates you is unique to you, like the way they walk. It is more specific than your fingerprint that can identify you but not define you. It is more important than your picture, because your picture does not tell us much about you. What motivates you tells us everything about you, and tells you who you are.

Your gift is the value that other people to enjoy about you and want from you. Your abilities enable you to work and earn a living. Your interests will drive you, even we they don't pay you. Your interests wake you up in the morning and never let you sleep at night. Your talent makes life easy for you, because you do it without breaking a sweat. These things will motivate you, because they satisfy you, because they are you. You will never find out who you are until you find out what motivates you.
