Motivation

I find it hard to be motivated. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. But sometimes I stumble across a video on YouTube and it's motivating. Not the motivation which encourages you somewhat, but the motivation that fills you with determination and encourages you to work to your very best. Middle of last term I was in a bad place. I know it sounds cliched but I didn't feel happy and I just wasn't doing much (I mean, I'm still not doing much but yunno). I was just sick of life and sick of school and family and commitments and everything. Until my parents convinced me to go to youth group. Now, me, I'm awful at fitting in, at finding that place where I belong and I can talk to people I want to talk to. And I went to this youth group expecting not to fit in or enjoy myself with all the other peoples company. But, everyone was nice, just regular human beings. I managed to fit in, and although it took a little while to feel like I belonged, eventually I started to look forward more and more to every Friday, to learning more about God and hanging out with amazing people. These people may not have helped me personally, but together, they helped drag me out of the misery I was sinking into. I don't tend to say it to people I'm still only getting to know, but thankyou to each and everyone of you for helping me. You have all inspired me to become a better person and to stay motivated.
