Consistency

Today I fought through. Normally when I hit my alarm and fall back asleep for 20 mins I let it turn into 45. This morning I found the motivation to dig deep and get out of bed. What is my motivation? I am not always sure because it changes day to day. Today it was losing weight. Tomorrow it maybe being healthy and living a long life in order to enjoy grandchildren. Unfortunately, the motivation to get out of bed has to be personal and hit close to home.
Challenge: find a motivation that is not of myself in order to have a deeper desire.
Yesterday was a good day great run, good diet, got a ton of work done..... But I still feel hollow sometimes as I sneak something here and cut a corner there. Jesus has to become the focus of my motivation. Weird sentence to write, right?
I struggle with the pray without ceasing and the submission part of Christianity. Sin creeps in and cuts away slivers of me to make my motivation selfish...... What is my motivation????
Question of contemplation: what motivates my/our actions and decisions everyday?
