What Motivates me to go on in LIFE?

This is for the What MOtivates you Contest.

                                                     MOTIVATION

                              WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO GO ON IN LIFE?

                      Enthusiasm, Drive, Ambition, Initiative, Determination.

                    What motivates me, I wonder; For Life in itself, is very challenging.

                  Life can take a toll on ones motivation.  To achieve a goal, or life dream,

                perhaps?  Motivation, or the lack of there of, can make life dull.  Before, all I

               wanted was to die.  I had no desire to live and had no goals.  I was at a dark place, 

              more than once, in which, motivation, was not part of my vocabulary.  I disliked 

              having to WAKE UP, at 5 am in the morning.  FOR WHAT REASON?  to go to school or 

              get on the bus.  My parents kept talking about the future; what future, I did not want 

              live anymore.  Could I not just die?  God and I would talk, from time to time, yet, I never

              felt worthy of anything.  I was content, to just doing nothing and facing death.  That was

               then, now much has changed.  See, He came and took me out of a dark pit.  And opened

                my EYES to the TRUTH.  Once done, much made sense, and I have been letting go of                                                                                                                               much.

                 Hatred, Rage,Bitterness,Sadness, and so forth.  In the end, new goals and               

                  achievements

                  were placed within my heart and soul.  Sure my DAUGHTER is the main thing aside from 

                   the BIG MAN, that has motivated me to be a better person.  Yet, at one point, I felt that 

                    I had failed her and did not have, what it takes to be a GOOD MOTHER. SO I thought                                                                             she 

                     would be better without ME.  I was wrong.  Aside from that, God has helped me see,

                      just how much pain, is within this world. Abused and Neglected children, all around.

                       And sure, there are organizations all around, but each stick to their own religion, and

                        or choose to be, very selective, in whom they HELP.  So, as of now, my main              

                                       MOTIVATION

                         can be DeFined as such. Aside from seeking to bettering my own self, I want to make

                           sure that, my daughter can prepare to face, the world and achieve her own GOALS in                             life.

                            Aside from that, I look not to be rich, or to have the best car, or such;  I want to HELP

                              all those, that are in this world, yet not part of this world.  The Poor, the Sick, the

                               weak, the orphaned, and widowed, the abused and neglected; I want to HELP all

                                 those that have been through  any type of abuse, that has left them marked, 

                                   deep, within their hearts and souls.  To bring HOPE into their LIVEs, and 

                                     for them to know, just how worthy they truly are, in GODS EYEs.  I 

                                       am preparing to move, shortly, to TEXAS and want to set up my

                                        very own BAKERY and aim, to start a FOUNDATION, in which, I can

                                           employ teens and young adults, that are in need of a job, so they

                                            can get back up, on their feet, and know that they can achieve 

                                              so much, as long as they are MOTIVATED TO DO SO:      And this

                                              I do, not to make a name for myself, or to be seen as    a good 

                                             person, I simply would do this, as I know, first hand what    it 

                                             feels to be covered in scars and darkness, and have no HOPE

                                          left, within oneself.  And I want to do this, in honor of GOD,

                                        for what HE has DONE in my own LIFE.  I am by far, from 

                                          perfect, and I am no ANGEL.  I still struggle at times, to 

                                       get up from bed, and go to work.  Right now, work is 

                                                                          not the work, I want to do, but it will do for now.  

                                                                 Once I am able to set up my BAKERY, I hope to work, 

                          in order to create a program, that can bring back, HOPE 

                      and LIFE, to all those that have been torn and tossed, from 

                          side to side, due to much abuse. And I no longer look

                                                                         at my PAST, but look towards my FUTURE, in which,

                                                                             I HOPE to HELP those that, are cast aside  

by SOCIETY.

                                                                          Instead of standing on the side line, complaining and

       judging as others do, I will go forth and carry a LIGHT 

            of HOPE, and seek those that are wanting and needing

                      a HELPING HAND.  I am not HOLY by any means, yet, 

                                                                                I want to show others, simply, what GOD has DONE

                                                                             in my own LIFE, and this is what motivates me.

                                                                 NO LONGER am I blinded as before, and can hear the 

                                                            cries, of those that most ignore or pretend, that 

          they do Not Exist.  So those that are seen as weak,

                and are weary of this LIFE; to those, I will work,

                      to Bring them back, from DEATH, into LIFE.  And 

                                        

                                      teach my own child, that we should always be grateful,

                                     of what we have, even if it might not seem much, to her,

                                    or others, but we must choose to be THANKFUL, and HELP

                                 those, that are in need of more than just riches, but that are in

                               need of LOVE, HOPE and LIFE, beyond their pain, and hurt.

[Mary Christabel George]

It is truly inspirational write up by you. I like the style you have used in writing. Highlighting all the powerful words. All those feeling depressed or loss of hope can feel motivated by reading this. I also liked your emphasis on God's love in our lives & the concept of how a human can help the other to find hope instead of ending his life. What the true value of love, hope, faith & life is.
" Instead of standing on the side line, complaining and
judging as others do, I will go forth and carry a LIGHT
of HOPE, and seek those that are wanting and needing
a HELPING HAND. "

All the best for ur bakery plan. God bless!
