What’s Love Got To Do With It?

“Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life.” Smiley Blanton

It takes a lot of will power and strength to be able to get yourself up and out of bed each and everyday to go to work or to study, but this is something that we all know needs to be done.  That is if we want to be able to make it through this arduous journey called life!  If you are one who has a job that you love, and you are passionate about it, the effort is a little easier to make, but none-the-less to do anything day-in and day-out is a struggle!

We make sacrifices throughout our lives because we have a reason to this madness.  We are either doing it to reach a self-set goal, or because we have a family to take care of, either way there has to be a good reason to get us to make a move.  Of course we are also creatures of habit and can get into a routine that we follow just because that is was we are expected to do each and everyday.  This later state is less effective and usually does not lead us into anything extraordinary.  To achieve something spectacular in life, you have to be passionate about it in one way or the other.

There needs to be a real motivation behind this sometimes difficult journey of life, there needs to be a passion, there needs to be love! Love is an emotion that leads us into something great! I am not saying that you necessarily have to love your job or studies, but it sure helps! But you need to love those you care about, your own goals, your own ambitions enough to make it worth your time!  So if you ask me the question, “what’s love got to do with it”, I would have to answer…everything! It doesn’t have to be “love at first sight” either!  It can be a love that you grow into, and you will see that, if you so have a love for something, great things can happen!

How does love motivate you?
