Although my weekend wasn't as great, I am determined to make the best out of the new week, that's why I must admit that this prompt for the week came at the right time..
These couple of weeks I started leaving alone with my baby have been challenging but I have learned to make the best out of it. my parents, siblings, and friends call me every other day asking me how I do it, I know my mother calls me every other minute to hear me complain so she has a reason to ensure I come home to her but instead she gets smiles and joy in my voice every-time she calls and that excites her as well.
sincerely guys it is not what it seems.....every day is not as rosy as I make it seems.
some days I get so overwhelmed with how much I have to do around the house, how much I need to achieve for myself when it comes to learning skills and trying to earn money for me and how I need to always show up for others too. It can be a lot But I Have been determined to keep my motivation up, I cannot pick point one thing that keeps me going every day but one of my favorite thing that keeps me motivated is the desire to be the best, have the best and give the best.

I have never written that before or even said that out loud like I just did writing this but yes my biggest motivation is.
THE DESIRE TO BE THE BEST, HAVE THE BEST, AND GIVE THE BEST.
....TO BE THE BEST
I hate to lose, I may not be the Number one person in regards to whatever task or issue I may be handling at any given point but I like the idea of being mentioned amongst the Top, could be Top 5,10, 15, or 50 but I desire to be amongst the best in whatever field I find myself.
So when I am tired, drained, and discouraged I remind myself not to quit or slow down. it is ok to get tired, I can take a break but I must continue, the idea is to suffer now, and live like a champion later if I truly what to be the best.
.....HAVE THE BEST
I saw somewhere that
you will value the journey to success, The good times and bad times when you truly understand what you are after.
There are small and big sacrifices we may have to make in the journey of life to have the best things life can offer. it could be wealth or knowledge or just anything so when I hit a roadblock or I have no motivation to continue I think of that strong desire to have the best things.
I try not to lose focus or lose interest or get weary to a point of giving up when I know if I keep pushing I will be able to live the life of my dream and have the best of things.
It can be tiring but when the desire is strong enough. I pick myself up and keep moving.
....GIVE THE BEST.
I have people who helped me get to the stage I am now, that fought and worked hard to provide for me, and the least I can do is reciprocate the love. Their single act of care motivates me daily to do better so I would be able to give back, not just give back but be able to give them the best too.
Then I have people I am responsible for, my child for one and other children I would be privileged to raise, persons I would be opportune to cross paths with and possibly be in the position to help them if they need help.
and Finally, I owe it to myself to give myself the best. God's plans for me are of Good and not of evil to an expected end..who am I not to see it through till the end.
These are all the things that keep me motivated, Summed up in these three phrases..
So tell me what keeps you motivated??
