Is it okay that you don’t clean your house until company’s on the way? That you don’t lose ten pounds until you want to wear that bikini? That you don’t grab the next rung on the ladder until …? When we do the “right” thing, we realize the intangible satisfaction of being true to our self. The right thing is motivated by love, rather than fear. It’s not determined by the consequences or somebody else’s approval.
BUT when there is somebody or something that motivates us to be our best self, let’s seize the opportunity. Let’s be good stewards and milk the motivation. As we revel in the results, we’ll compound our motivation. And somewhere along the way, we’ll realize that we truly want to do the right thing even when nobody is watching. And, here’s the part I love, somebody who matters will be there to share in it with us. Somebody who gets us, somebody who knows all of who we are, somebody who’ll help us make sure we don’t settle for less than our best.
Love smiles on you,
