Do You Need Motivating

This week’s devotional comes from Steve Lee, CFO, as he shares his thoughts about what our value INSPIRE means to him.

What inspires you and where does your inspiration come from? How do you keep going on days that seem difficult and challenging? It is great to be inspired and some people are natural at this! If I’m honest I tend to have good and bad days. Some days I’m really up for things and other days, well…

I recently discovered the work of Nick Vujicic. He is an Australian evangelist and motivation speaker, and he also has no arms or legs. He’s an incredibly inspiring person and I’d recommend you look him up on YouTube or his website www.attitudeisaltitude.com if you have time. He has a real gift of inspiration and he quoted 3 things on a short clip I watched last week:

1. Be thankful

2. Dream big

3. Never give up

I have a lot to learn in this area, but I hope to live a more inspired life and to do that, I find these words of Jesus really helpful:

I am the way the truth and the life.
John 14:6 

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world
John 16:33.

Point to ponder: Wherever you seek your own inspiration from, I pray we are all motivated and inspired in this new season to embrace and enjoy the role we play at YMCA and beyond.
