Finding Motivation During Difficult Times

6th Jan 20214th Jun 2021

During this challenging time that we are going through as a global family, I see in myself and others a decreased level of motivation. If you look up the original meaning it of the word it emphasizes movement; or ‘to move’. I see in myself and others less movement. The word burnout is being used more frequently as well as resilience. It would also seem like we have even higher levels of stress and anxiety than ever before.

A Tale of Two Trees

As you might know, within the Christian tradition, our human condition is defined by the choices Adam and Eve made. You might recall, Eve was seduced by the Enemy into believing that there is another way to become God-like than eat from the tree of life.

This second tree became the symbol of our downfall and we have forever lived under the curse that was brought about because of the choices made by the original man and women. Read more “A Tale of Two Trees” →

I believe I am building on what I have learnt from them as well as the amazing experiences from childhood and early adulthood. It has become a journey of desire. Read more “Journey of Desire” →

Do You See the Potential?

On a daily basis my job is to help people put on another pair of glasses and see their own world in a different way. I have developed this special skill by failing, studying, taking risks and ultimately overcoming my own limited views with much grace. A guiding factor throughout has been my hunger. I can’t settle for second best. The definition of second best, and alternatively, first-rate has just changed over the years.

Instant Everything

Okay, before you decide that you have read this post before, give me a chance. Yes, I want to go on a rant about how fast things have become and that all we want is instant everything. Instant messaging, overnight delivery, video on demand… The list goes on. I don’t think that I have to sketch the picture, you get it.

In my previous insight, if you can recall, I talk about how the world is focusing on delivering motivation by, and for, extroverts. I would venture that there is some sort of link between Read more “Wanna Make a Difference? Instant Coffee Doesn’t Compare with the Real Thing” →

Desiring Influence

I am learning a lot about myself at the moment. I realise that I am not an INTJ personality type. I am an INFJ. Yes, it is only one letter, but it makes a massive difference. As I shift I come to various insights. One of these insights is that I can now see how I naturally desire meaningful influence.

Ever since I was a boy I have been guided on this journey. My parents were missionaries and teachers and everything they did they aligned to eternal purpose. With hindsight I now connect how I have been trained to channel and release my natural desire for influence. I want to make this world a better place. I help people connect with their Designer, and with themselves, in order to express their full potential.
