Motives

I always question why I want to do this?
Why do I spent hours figuring out how to make a full-time living as a poet.
Should I be doing this as a profession?
Is questions I have on a regular basis.

I admit I have selfish reasons on why I'm doing this, but I wouldn't still be passionate about poetry if I was doing it solely for money.
Especially when people told me I wasn't going to made a living off of it.

I know I can serve people, I can change lives, I can be a blessing to others.
I know I'm doing something greater by just using my gift the why God intended for me to use it.

I check my motives to make sure I'm able to handle abundance because so many of us want abundance but not use what we have.
