Motivation

Here’s my take on motivation in life:

Greed gives the illusion of importance.

Importance brings the possibility of power.

Power is about control.

Because control fosters the illusion of safety.

And we all, even women, want safety for ourselves and our loved ones.

Sometimes, without realizing it, we make faith about our need to feel safe.

But the journey of Jesus, who calls us to follow him, was not about safety,

It was about love and ultimately even about love for our enemies.

“There are these three: Faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is Love.”
