Sir Froggie’s Pondering
Ancient Amphibious Wisdom for a Modern Day World

DO IT FOR YOU!

Do you have dreams and goals you’re working on? What do you desire for your life? What’s your motivation to make it happen?

Do it for you!

There can be a lot of pressure on us to set goals, dream big, and “make it all happen.” There are multi-million dollar industries telling us how to live our lives and make our dreams come true. They have great ideas, helpful tools, and wonderfully talented people to teach us how to accomplish what we want. So how come so many of us don’t?

It may be a matter of motivation. If our heart’s not into what we’re doing, we simply won’t continue to do it. We’ll find other things to spend our time and energy on even if our goal seems important. Take a look at your daily, weekly and monthly activities. How many of them do you do because you “should” or because of other peoples’ expectations? How much of your time is given to others’ agendas? How much of yourself do you commit to YOU – to your goals, dreams, and ideal life?

Do you believe you are worthy of living your dream? Do you believe you deserve to receive its benefits? Really think about that for a moment. Many of us have been programmed at some point in our lives by parents, educators, or religious leaders to believe we are unworthy of all God’s best. Feeling unworthy, even on a subconscious level, will sabotage our greatest efforts!

We must believe we are not only worthy of receiving all of God’s blessings, but that we are capable, too!

We tend to think of success primarily as a game of action. But it also requires a strategy which begins deep within. Success gurus will tell you any worthy goal needs an equally worthy motivator. We can say we want to make the world a better place or do it for our kids or to make our families proud. The truth is we need to do it for ourselves. We need to be our own motivation. If we don’t feel good about who we are or what we’re doing both in the short and long run, we won’t keep at it. We must have a real inner connection to keep us going. Yes, we may want to change the world or even just change our family life, but we have to rely on our inner self for that motivation; not on the world around us or on our loved ones giving us praise.

So what is your inner passion? What is it you desire in your life? How will it benefit you? How does it make you feel? How can you keep yourself in alignment with the passion and desire as you move forward through all the tasks ahead? How can you inspire yourself with your goal? Is it really worthy of your time and energy? If not, what would make it better?

Your dreams and goals don’t have to be huge. They just have to be connected to your inner drive and passion. They have to feel like a worthy cause to you. They have to light your personal flame of inspiration to keep your desire burning.

And you have to be willing to do it for YOU!
