motive – noun

1. a reason for doing something.

“police were unable to establish a motive for his murder”
Usually what we want and desire isn’t bad. What we need to consider is WHY we want what we want. What’s the motivation?
Last night I watched Holby City, that’s my show at the moment. It’s the hour a week that I sit (in my case redound on my mini trampet) and watch tv, outside of that I don’t watch tv much. Yesterday was the climax of a story that was very much about Guy Self’s motivation. He’s been wanting this Neo Unit forever! Finally, this dream is happening, he’s made a lot of bad choices along the way for it but finally, he’s made right with his daughter and some things within himself. Now he can (almost/seemingly) have his dream unit built. Then he resigns and gives the money to the hospital!
His motivation was:

• proving his late mother wrong,
• trying to please the world and 
• trying to please his daughter. 

Once this dream was in his hands. He realised his real motivation was love and acceptance from his daughter and he realised he had it!

It makes me think about my dreams and goals and more so, my motivations!
It’s a good thing to think about. Consider:

• who is it really for?
• are you trying to prove anything to anyone?
• when and how did the desire start?

If it’s all from a good, pure place, go ahead and pursue that dream with all your heart and energy. If there’s other people’s words and expectations involved, dig deeper and deeper until you get to the truth of that thing and deal with it.
Let’s tap into our motivations and ensure our motives and pure!
