I've come to realize that motivation is one of the most overrated words in our culture. We talk about it as if it's the fuel that drives everything, but really, it's just a feeling. It comes and goes. And if you rely on it, you'll be tempted to quit every time it fades.
Motivation might get you started, but only purpose, perseverance, and discipline will carry you through. The Christian life is not about chasing inspiration; it's about being faithful to what we've said yes to. That's where peace comes from. Not from feeling motivated, but from becoming faithful to your purpose.
