Motivational...Book?!

Motivation: The activation or energization of goal-oriented behavior. Motivation is said to be intrinsic or extrinsic. The term is generally used for humans but, theoretically, it can also be used to describe the causes for animal behavior as well.

Everyone needs motivation in their life, whether it be from friends, family, motivational speakers, etc. Today at CHS, we had an assembly. Usually our assemblies are about Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll. Every high schooler needs to know about this right?... Well in a sense yes, but when EVERY assembly is about these topics, it's a bit much. Now, today was an assembly that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was about other high schooler's whose life has been impacted by one decision that they made. It wasn't the regular old fogey that sat there and dragged on and on about what happened. Today it was on video, and even though the people weren't there to tell us and we didn't get to physically see the impact that their situations really had on their life or get to met them and talk to them about what happened, we still saw the impact on what happened to them.

Everyone has their very own way of getting motivated. Like right before a big game and they are jumping and warming up their blood, or getting a pep talk from the coach. My motivation isn't physical,it's not someone there telling me what I can and can't do. It's more powerful than that. My motivation is a book. Not just any book though, a very powerful book. It gives me everything I need, to be physically and mentally prepared for whatever task or obstacle that is ahead of me. My motivation, is the Holy Bible. It gives you all the advice, and rules you need. But more important than that, it gives you Faith. Not only in yourself, but also in your teammates, co-workers, family, friends, and God. The Bible helps you earn this faith by learning the word of God. And the word of God is all I need to be motivated.
