This is actually an answer to a question I overheard. I wasn't eavesdropping, I just have sensitive hearing I guess. Or maybe I was just meant to hear it. I guess that leads me right into my point. Motivation comes in a lot of forms. Being motivated by the wrong things are like poison. Sure, it may look appealing or even smell and taste sweet. But it's poison. Poison for your heart and soul. A toxic mix of chemicals your brain produces for doing the wrong things. And when tha
