Do you examine your motivation throughout the day? I’ve found that it’s very helpful. When I feel less than peaceful, I look at my motivation and make a correction. The correction brings me back to Peace and that’s EVERYTHING to me.

One of the deepest and most powerful ways that we can be in our spiritual practice is to consistently be examining our motivation. There’s a motivation for every choice that we make. Sometimes the motivation to choose separation and suffering is so subtle. Sometimes the motivation is to affirm a thought pattern of lack that has become such a habit that we’re actually believing that something false is true.

For instance – do you automatically eat everything on your plate because you’ve been taught to? Do you do it even when it requires you to push past a feeling of fullness? Do you know why you do it? Would you be willing to start to examine what is really motivating you?

This work isn’t easy. It requires awakening awareness and willingness. It’s about bringing the light of our attention into the dark places, the hidden places.

Sometimes it feels like being awake is exhausting, but it’s not. A Course in Miracles tells us that rest comes from waking not from sleeping.

Let us each do our own individual work and share the benefits with all humanity.
Let us be willing to actively look for the places where we have been in denial and bring the light there.

I’m grateful that we can.

Let’s do this expansion work together.
Each one’s choice means so much to the collective.
Let us begin anew each day and discover the Truth that sets us FREE!

Rather than being motivated by getting something (which is really a motivation of NOT having something – let’s motivate with awakening!

We’re choosing to be motivated by our expanding awareness of Love as our life!
