So to live the full life we should know that all that comes from the full live is always as a result of using all our resources, our strength, our wants and our dreams to enrich the life of others.
Having discovered ourselves, having known what is important to us and the choices we have to make to actualize them we must know that our goal should be to use them to positively impact our world, solve problems and add value only then will the benefits of success and all we want come to us.
Our motivation should not be just to get what we want since that is a result of using our resources for things and others outside of us.
I may want financial freedom, solid relationships, joy peace etc I should not make getting these things my goal cause when I do I will get frustrated in the pursuit since am focusing on the wrong things.
If I discover the things of value that I can do in my world with the resources I have available to me that will yield this things in my life and make them my goals then I will see myself receiving these things in abundance.
Making these our motives will help us to keep going even when the route to our destination gets tough, strange right wrong.
Are you yearning for more or are you unsatisfied with any aspect of your life then it is time to check out the motive for your dreams and wants. Have they been just about you what you will get……?
Those are rewards for making the good of others the motivation for our dreams.
Action Point
This exercise is to help us determine the "why" of our desires.
Find a quiet place where you will not be distracted and begin to evaluate your motives.
Use a pen and writing pad and write down what comes to your mind as you question yourself.
Take the components and aspects of your life one after the other and find your motives for those desires you consider important which you want to pursue to bring you to a full life.

- What are the challenges and opportunities?
