Who here needs motivation to get out of bed sometimes?
Who needs motivation to clean their house?
Who needs motivation to continue to adult some days?
Me too! Most days the excitement of getting to tell kids about new books is motivation enough to go to work. But some days it’s not…. And on those days what I would really love is someone to say something like this
In fact if I had Neil Patrick Harris telling me this, it probably would be motivation (insert laughing emoji). But seriously. We all need motivation.
One of the best things that I love that my Dad says is that when he goes to work and he doesn’t want to, he’s fundraising. What is he fundraising for? Life! He’s fundraising to pay the bills and provide food. But he’s also fundraising for things like vacation and getting to be generous with others.
That shift in focus can totally change what you believe you are capable of. When you start to do hard things because they will benefit more than just you, they become so much more doable.
So next time it’s a Friday and you think, “I can’t get out of bed” just remember
So go enjoy your weekend, but put in a hard days work first. Fundraise. Change your perspective. Find a reason to get out of bed. Find a reason to go work. Find a reason to go bless others. Go change the world.
