Sometimes life just comes at us. Sometimes things just happen. Situations occur that can knock us down but that’s just life. As a believer I know what type of days I’m promised and though the not so good surprises occur I’VE STILL GOT JOY! Here are just a few things that motivate me to move forward.
1.) My husband and children are my main motivation. I love my family. No matter what comes our way I’m always mindful of my reaction because I know my children are watching. I’m also conscientious of reactions to my husband because I don’t want to discourage him. In return, my family notices when I’m feeling down or need an extra push. I can always count on slobbery kisses from our infant and a pat on the back along with a “you’re the best mom” from oldest. And even when I try to hide my feelings, my husband still knows the perfect moment to just hold me or smother me with compliments. My awesome family keeps me motivated!
2.) My hobbies keep me motivated too. I enjoy singing, dancing, creating videos for my youtube channel, blogging, and my weekly manicures. I also look forward to my monthly girls night out and the quiet evenings where I can curl up with a good book under my leopard blanket. These may seem like simple things to you but I think they are future memories worth living for.
3.) Victory and freedom are my final means of motivation. Of course both of these are tied directly to my faith. As a Christ believer I get excited because I know the outcome of my life is victory and not defeat. My obedience to the word, perfect will of God, and faith gives me freedom to not be bound by the troubles of life. I keep pressing on because I’m determined to endure until the end just so I can share the story of how I MADE IT.
There are so many things that can keep you bound and pull you down but don’t spend too much time focusing on those. Let the great, good, awesome, and spectacular things motivate you.
Let victory motivate you.
Let peace motivate you.
Let faith, family, friends, and love motivate you.
LET LIFE MOTIVATE YOU TO ENDURE UNTIL THE END!

I really enjoyed this post and video about “Choosing Life!” It’s so easy to get caught in life storms that you forget that rainbows comes after it rains. I am going through one of the hardest storms of my life thus far. But this post reminded me to let go and let the fetters to be broken. I can rest assured that this too shall pass.
Hallelujah Father!
Thank You for sharing and May God Continue to bless you and your family.
Exactly! I loved the reminder of the rainbow that’s promised after a storm. It is just a season. God is faithful.
