Motivation–Finding Your "It"নমুনা

Chase Your Passion

Maybe you know your “it.” Maybe you knew it before you ever decided to look into this lesson plan. Perhaps you are a great artist who can move others with your talents. Maybe you are an accomplished chef who seeks to provide others with a quality dish. Maybe you find joy in helping others and take pleasure in various charities and outreach programs. Maybe you are a teacher who takes joy in instructing and assisting others. Whatever your “it” is, you should pursue it. Find what you love, and allow it to envelop your life. I believe that when you are actively working on something that makes you happy, you can use your happiness and newfound outlook to help those around you.

To be a Christian is to serve God and to serve those around you. It is important to understand that your “it” may not help people directly, but it can provide you with the opportunities to help people. I have had several salesmen within my company utilize the tools that were taught to them and leave to pursue ministry work afterwards. Their “it” was sharing the word, and they had found a way that would allow them to do just that. You see, your “it” may not allow you to pay the bills. Charity work, being an artist or instructor or coach–these things do not often generate a high income. Your “it” is not defined by how much it pays, and, more often than not, it will pay little. However, I believe that when God notices you pursuing your passion, he will take care of you.

Blessings follow those who are doing the work that they were made to do. Money should be an incentive, not a motivation for you to do quality work. Your “it” has to be bigger than the money. It has to be bigger than the obstacles placed in front of you. God and life both work in mysterious ways, and stress will come to those who are about to reach a break through. Your “it” needs to be strong enough to handle this.

How can you use your "it" to serve others? Are you currently chasing your passion? If not, how can you begin this process?
