What motivates you?

View all responses

What motivates me is the quiet hope that my words or creations might meet someone where they are and let them know they’re not alone.

It’s not about chasing numbers or recognition – those things fade quickly. What keeps me going is the possibility that something I write could bring a little peace to a restless mind, a sense of connection to someone who feels unseen, or simply a pause in the rush of someone’s day.

I’m motivated by the beauty in small things – morning light through a window, a handwritten note, the sound of laughter at the dinner table.. life’s simplest moments have always felt the most sacred to me, and I’m compelled to share that quiet truth with others.

And at the heart of it all, what motivates me is love. Love for words, love for creating, love for reminding both myself and others that there’s more to this life than noise and hustle; and most of all, love from the One who created love itself. There’s still wonder to be found in this world, if we slow down long enough to notice it.
