Willpower and motivation
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 by admin.
I’m sitting here working from home having a difficult time getting started and staying focused. I’m going through some difficult times in my life and having a hard time staying focused. As I wrote that I’m asking myself, “Am I really going through a difficult time, or am I making it difficult?”. Well I think that I’m making it difficult.All that I need to do is to turn things over. Surrender completely to the God of my understanding. To let go of the burden of self. When I do those things, difficulty slips away. Don’t get me wrong: pain, sadness are still there, but no longer are they difficult. They just are. They no longer entrap me, when I stay focused through willpower on the present moment.When I’m focused through willpower on the present moment, I’m committing to the reality of NOW. Now is the only time there is. Passion and motivation are activated by commitment so here goes…Thanks for reading all!
