Find motivation
Whenever it is present
Multiple sources
Denzel Washington
Is a great motivator
Choose testimony
Find time to listen
Choose the points that touch your heart
And then pass them on
Here are the points that touched my heart:
“Just because you’re doing a lot more,
doesn’t mean you’re getting a lot more done!”
“Don’t confuse movement (activity)
with progress!”
“It’s not how much you have,
it’s what you do with what you have!”
“I pray you put your slippers
waaay under your bed tonight,
so when you get up in the morning,
you have to get on your knees to get them!”
“And while you’re down there…
say thank you …. [for all your blessings] …
in advance for what is already yours!”
“Anything you want, claim it!
Work hard to get it… when you get it,
reach back. Pull someone else up!”
As you search within yourself,
know that the Holy Spirit lives in you!
When you tune in to what God
through the Spirit is saying to you,
your motivation to rise above your circumstances,
and your ability to help others do likewise
will be pure in heart!
The video with Denzel Washington
demonstrated that kind of
motivation to me.
Did you also hear it
as from a pure heart?
The Bible tells us that our motivation
should not be selfish gain
or seeking approval based on our own merits;
rather, our motivation should come from God
and a desire to obey and honor Him.
Our first priority should be
our relationship with God.
Yes, that was one of Denzel’s quotes,
“Don’t just aspire to make a living,
aspire to make a difference!”
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, …whatever is true,
whatever is honorable,
whatever is just,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable,
if there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.”
You are blessed to be a blessing.
Remember these motivating words,
“It’s not how much you have,
it’s what you do with what you have!”
What can you DO
to motivate someone’s
positive thoughts and actions
today?
Go out and do it!!
God bless you –
Sending my love your way-
See ya tomorrow (God willing).

I watched this video and love it! I do embrace motivation and am so blessed to have other encouragers, like you, on this journey! Sending love and hugs to you too! 💛 Karla
Thank you 😊 I was impressed and motivated by it – and am happy you took time to view it, too. Which points resonated most with you?
Hard work works,…give God the glory, but we must do the work and be consistent daily. Disciplined. And when we reach our God-driven goals pull someone up with you. I believe that! And use the grace we are given daily to others and keep striving and working!
Indeed! Let’s do it!!
Yes!!!
Certainly motivating.
Denzel Washington proves to be a dynamic speaker. His encouraging and genuine words stir the fires of motivation. I need to read and listen more from his inspiring Christian witness.
Yes, me, too. I was surprised by this message from him. Had no idea how strong a believer he is!
A great reminder for us all!
