What drives you? _ First published in 2008

In my search for happiness and and balance in my current situation, I have been repeatedly brought back to the thought of what drives me? What makes me try harder or sometimes what is lost when I quit trying? Is there a source of truth that when you rely on it you will be compelled to move forward and in ignorance move back?


Think about it? You have to have something or the person you are will always stay the same. I have been asking this questions in search to find that one thing that is universal for everyone. Although I think it is defined different it all comes back to one thing.


I have heard answers like my kids, my husband, love, my family, my career, my love of traveling, my husbands love for his horses (long story, don't ask), my favorite car to someday own, my financially security. All of these things are great examples of something that gets us out there to work. But if you ask those same people why, and keep asking why, the truth is revealed. Everything goes back to LOVE.
It is where your love is that drives you. Is your love centered in something of goodness or something manmade and can be taken from you in a heartbeat. It is your core beliefs.
Mine is a core belief that I have a Father in Heaven that has given me the opportunity to come to Earth, prove myself, and return to Him. I have a brother Jesus Christ that is my Redeemer, and the Gift of the Holy Ghost to help me reach to Heaven and use my talents to share the Love of God with others.

This Easter weekend, I ask you to look at what you LOVE and what drives you to be better? I ask that you make this a renewal weekend with the knowledge that Jesus died for us, and that He lives again. We are all here to be amazing and use our talents. This week can be a new beginning for us all and committ to share your love with others and refuse to hide your talents from others.
