Today, I was asked the question, "What motivates you?"
I paused to think about the answer. To motivate is to "stimulate (someone's) interest in or enthusiasm for doing something."
As you know by now, I live, move, and have my being in God, through Jesus Christ. I am because He is. I can't do anything without Him.
I answered, "People. I am motivated by people."
I am motivated by humanity - by their joys and sorrows, triumphs and struggles, and everything in between.
The person said he would get my book and offer his critical analysis of it. I thanked him for his comment. No matter how many times any of my books are criticized, the books are already written. They are already finished. Nothing else can be done to them - unless I do second editions, which I haven't been moved to do because... quite frankly, I have to keep moving towards the next assignment that God wants be to do in this "present" moment.
So, what motivates you?
