There are many responsibilities women carry and one of them is learning how to stay motivated from day-to-day. We often wonder will our heavy loads ever become lighter, sometimes the load is heavy because what we allow others to put on us and at times it’s the load we put on ourselves. The majority of our heavy loads can be lighten simply by checking your motives. Motives are the hidden secret places of the heart, they frame your words and actions and they are the primary purpose behind what you say and do. Motives arise from within you but are often affected by some outside source like people and messages that fill your daily environment. Motives hide behind envy and jealousy. Envy wants what someone else has, while the root of jealousy is fear that something will be taken and both of these leave most women dissatisfied or in self-comparison with other women.
To unlock the key to your motivation ask God to reveal your motives. Write down in a journal or a notebook what God has shown you in your heart. Repent and ask God to cleanse your mind and heart. Transform your thinking by writing down what you are thankful for and your blessings.
When you line your motives and motivation up with God and His word, you know you are in His perfect will and giving Him first place in your life.
