Takeaways
Motivation is driven by purpose, not just goals. It is important to understand why you are doing what you are doing and what the real return on investment is.
Comparing oneself to others and getting demotivated by external factors such as social media or news can hinder motivation. It is important to focus on one's own journey and purpose.
Prioritizing family and personal well-being is crucial for long-term motivation and success. Achieving external measures of success should not come at the cost of neglecting important relationships and self-care.
Seeking the Lord's guidance and aligning goals with His purpose can provide clarity and motivation in challenging times.
Motivation is an ongoing process and requires continuous evaluation and adjustment to stay aligned with one's purpose.
