Motivation

Motivation - I think this is the ultimate barrier that most of us find when we are wanting to do something effective. So many times in the past, I have had these awesome ideas about how to pull something cool off, or to help someone out or whatever, and when it gets down to the punch, it's the motivation, or lack thereof, that pulls you away from whatever you are wanting to do.

Just imagine if we were to all catch hold of our dreams, our hopes, and to work together to bring these into reality - if we could provide the motivation for each other. I know this sounds idealistic, because we do live in such an individualistic culture - everyone living for themselves, and to get the best for ourselves. But I believe that deep down, everyone wants some sense of community, where we can all work together towards something better, coz nothing really worthwhile comes from being selfish. This is by no means being judgemental, because we all do it, especially including myself.

On another note, a special thanks to all those who came to share in mine and Dylan's special day last weekend at our baptism. It was a beaut day, and it made it all the more special having you all there to share it with us. And to those of you that couldn't make it, thank you also for all that you've done for us.

In the midst of a world where we often live in fear of what terrible things may happen in the days ahead, I only hope that we can all find some sort of common ground, and a sense of stability with which we can move forward together.
