Motivation: A Lesson from the River of Life

Good day, my dear readers. Today, I’d like to share a story with you, a story that taught me a valuable lesson about motivation. This tale takes us back to a time when I was but a young lad, attending a baptism in the heart of our small town.

The Baptism

It was a bright, sunny day, the kind that makes you feel alive and grateful. The entire town had gathered by the river, where the baptism was to take place. The air was filled with anticipation, joy, and a sense of community.

As the ceremony began, I noticed a young man, no older than myself, standing at the edge of the crowd. He was a stranger to our town, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of fear. He was the one to be baptized that day.

The Struggle

As the young man stepped into the river, he hesitated. The current was strong that day, and he was clearly afraid. But he took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and waded deeper into the water.

It was a struggle, but he didn’t give up. He pushed against the current, stumbling and falling, but always getting back up. His determination was inspiring.

The Lesson

That day, I learned a valuable lesson about motivation. The young man could have easily given up, turned back, and no one would have blamed him. But he didn’t. He was motivated by his faith, his desire for a new beginning, and the support of the community around him.

Motivation, my dear readers, is not about the absence of fear or struggle. It’s about pushing through, despite the challenges. It’s about finding your purpose and holding onto it, even when the current of life tries to pull you under.

So, find your motivation, hold onto it, and don’t be afraid to wade into the river of life. You are stronger than you think.

Until next time, remember: Life is a river, and we are all just learning how to swim.

Yours truly,

Kev
