RIGHT MOTIVATION

          In a forest there are two wolves who are friends. A while the first wolf challenge the second to catch a rabbit, who was not far from them. Both wolves aceppted the challenge because they wanted to prove their prowess. The wolf ran at full speed for catching the rabbit. The rabbit spontaneously ran to save himself from the pursuit  of the wolf whose power far exceeds him. However it turns out, the wolf failed to catch the rabbit. Agility and speed to run of the rabbit turned out to is able to defeat the power and speed of a wolf that had been experienced in the hunt. The rabbit hide immediately the wolf fail to catch him. The first wolf was then asked, “Did you know why you failed to catch the rabbit?”  “I did not know, why?”  Replied the second wolf. The first wolf said, “You failed because you were not serious. The rabbit ran faster because he had to save his life, while you ran and chased him just to show off your greatness”.

          The above story provides a valuable lesson for us that a person’s  motivation to do any works will determine the results he get. Many people work in the same place, in the same position, the same task but they  do produce something diffrent. Actually, all depend on their motivation in the work. If people work with the wrong motivation then they will not get the maximum results. Although he obtain the result (materially), he will not satisfied with what he has been achieved. Therefore, let us consider well, what is our motivation in working to date. Do we work just as chasing material, popularity, position or show off to prove to others that we are superior to them? Remember, that the work we are doing now has been entrusted by God to us for us to do with as much as possible. We do not need to confuse about material because it is all provided by God for us. But, work and do it with all your heart, as working for the Lord rather than for human. Work as well as possible because that is our worship to God, that will bring blessing to our lives. That is the true motivation, that God  wants in our lives.
