What Motivates Me?

Walt Disney- Why worry? If you've done the very best you can-worrying won't make it any better.

For the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof. I Corinthians 10:26

All things belong to Him, and we are given all things to enjoy.  But some things in life are not helpful and do not build others up.  As we face daily decisions, we must ask ourselves, what motivates me?  Am I being selfish or am I thinking of others?  ...will it honor God? Am I motivated by my desire to help others know Christ? (1 Corinthians 10:33)

If you know something is a problem, deal with it.  Sometimes that requires me to give up something or to remove myself from the situation altogether. 

In the end, it's not about me anyway. Deny self. Do what is right. Consider others.  In my opinion, that is giving my very best.
