Motivation is defined as the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. What will you hear?

Takeaways: “The choices that we make every single day will impact our future.” “The funny thing about motivations is…it only works if you do.” “Take in what a person says and use it as our resource – as our motivation to do, to act, to be.” “Motivation is all about what gets you going! What gets you going? You!” “What works for one person, may not always work for you.” “Everything starts from within.” Please subscribe to the Revolution Tea Podcast and leave a review on, Apple Podcasts/Itunes and Google Play/Google Podcasts.

Welcome to another episode of Revolution Tea! Listen now to the Previous Episode: Small Town living to Big Photography Dreams w/ Caleb Dunbar Today is a solo episode. Originally when I started the podcast I wanted to check in every 7th episode but as you begin to create and actually put out content—you learn and regroup. As time has gone on, I am learning the importance of not stressing over the details and just allowing what will be—to be. My goal is to inspire and help people come into their own. I don’t worry about popularity—being liked or even appreciated. It’s bigger than me. My purpose and the purpose of Revolution Tea and anything else I do—it’s bigger than me. We have to put in the work but also leave space and opportunity for God to do his thing. Or rather allow God to do his thing and be thankful he gives you space and opportunity to do your thing! For a while, I shied away from sharing my faith or I would share to a certain extent then cut it but that’s just selling God short. I am blessed and favored and it’s selfish to keep that to myself. The purpose you have on your life will require a lot of you but it will be rewarding and I’m not talking about monetary rewards or what society calls success. Those are fine so don’t think I’m saying those are bad but I think it’s most important to focus on bringing value. These episodes here on Revolution Tea are not just fillers. Each person I bring on the podcast has a story and by them sharing their story, I hope you realize you too have a story and you don’t have to wait to share it or use it to go higher in life or business. Progression over perfection! Please subscribe and leave a review on, Apple Podcasts/Itunes and Google Play/Google Podcasts. This will help us reach more people and continue our Revolution!
