"Guruji, how do you keep yourself motivated?" the question hung in the air. In today's fast-paced world, finding lasting motivation can feel like a constant battle. The Guruji offered a refreshing perspective, suggesting that unwavering motivation can be found not through willpower alone, but by cultivating trust and cherishing the present moment.
"By God's grace, I am always motivated," the Guruji humbly replies. His words hold a profound truth, a secret to unwavering motivation that transcends circumstance.
"He doesn't rely on willpower alone." He sees each moment as a gift, a precious opportunity to experience life's tapestry in all its shades. For him, even the "less good" moments hold lessons and growth.
"There's a quiet power in trusting a greater plan." It doesn't mean surrendering to every situation; it's about letting go of the need to control. The Guruji sees himself as the passenger, God as the charioteer (sarthi) navigating the journey.
"This isn't blind faith; it's a conscious choice to focus on the present." He finds joy in the "now," savoring the unfolding of life without getting caught up in anxieties about the future.
"Isn't this the essence of true motivation?" When we embrace the present moment, infused with trust and gratitude, a wellspring of inner strength arises. We become open to possibilities, ready to navigate life's twists and turns with a sense of peace and purpose.
The Guruji's wisdom is a gentle nudge to explore our own source of motivation. Perhaps it's faith, or simply a deep appreciation for the present. Whatever it is, by cultivating trust and cherishing the "now," we can unlock a wellspring of inner strength and navigate life's journey with grace and joy.

Dearest Veda,
I am thinking...in my perspective motivation is "having a motive/reason/story i am telling myself" in order to do something. Do i need it? I don't think so...
Do i need motivation to exist? I exists...this is reson enough to flow with what is...with the fact...I EXIST. I am shore God had a motive to bring me into existence to me his motivation is enough...why do i need to have a separate motivation than His?
I find myself in a point where i am saying...I Am Here, guided towards what i need to do and trying to listen to that guidance to fulfill whatever motivation God had when he brought it into existence... so all i need is my…
