Motivation is Crap - Ep. 117
Summary
In this conversation, I discuss the concept of motivation and why it is not necessary for living a fulfilled life. I emphasize the importance of working with the mind, body, and spirit every day, starting with getting in the word and praying to hear God's voice. I also highlight the significance of moving the body and living in alignment with God's purpose. I encourage listeners to reflect on their childhood experiences and find inspiration in the gifts God has given them. The conversation concludes with a prayer for rediscovering and using these gifts.
Takeaways
