What's Motivating You

Usually, when people begin a pursuit, our hearts are pure and motives are honorable. We simply love what we do and enjoy the pursuit. Yet as time, experience, and new circumstances mount, our pure hearts and motives dwindle and our reasons behind the pursuit are divided. This is actually quite natural. This can be both good and bad. With this said, it is a good practice to re-evaluate why we do what we do, or better yet, what are the newly developed motives behind our pursuit. Were they altered? Why were they altered? If we get to a place where we are pursuing that original something based off the incorrect principles of: hate, greed, envy, jealousy, bitterness, revenge, etc.,then we have lost our way. More times than not, life's circumstances and what we have negatively encountered from other people during the journey of our pursuit have caused us to alter our original motives. It is a fight to keep our motivations pure and we often deceive ourselves into thinking that they are what they once were. This is not to say that our original motives cannot be expanded. They can and should through wisdom, knowledge, precision, and experience. We should be able to better execute what we do as we move closer to our pursuit. I can't act like I've obtained the art of keeping my motives pure, I'm not even sure If I can. But I am in a place where I evaluate my motives, am brutally honest about them, and realign them with the correct principles that were the most prominent when I began my pursuit.
