What is the force that motivates you?
There are times when I wake up and have a list in my head of things to do. It motivates me to jump out of bed and get moving. Here’s an example: Company is coming at noon and the turkey needs to be in the oven. The dog needs to be taken out. I need a 30 minute walk to wake me up. A “one, two” with the vacuum to the family room is a must. Vegetables need to be cut and prepared along with potatoes to cook for mashing. Oh my, I need to call back a person that left a voice mail.
You may or may not relate to some of these things, but the pressure may be on to get out of bed and move. Motivation is a driving force whether it is an appointment one must get to or a job that needs to be done. Sometimes it is a fun thing like going to the Zoo with friends. It may even be a chore like catching up on paying the bills. Perhaps it is just getting to a job where you’ll make more money.
Fun and motivating magazines are available. There are many options!
The week before Easter, I was motivated by the church schedule in attending extra services. It meant rearranging my schedule to fit things into a working plan. I often get motivated by articles I read in magazines. Many come to the office and reading them at the end of a long day is relaxing and can be inspiring. There are traveling magazines, psychology publications, countless home improvement booklets, and style periodicals to select from to be read.
Today I was empowered to get groups going once again in the office. Groups to help individuals move forward in their lives, read more, and make new friends. A place to sort through ideas and grow. So many people have bouts of loneliness that can be resolved with meeting and learning together. That includes me and most of the people I know. We need to connect socially and filter out with one another new ideas.
So I welcome all readers to join me at the office on Wednesday mornings at 10 or in the evening at 7. See if it works for you. In the meantime, “Delight in Living”!
