Motivation

Having, so to speak, the wrong motivation, can prevent or slow growth.“We shouldn’t go into Occultism trying to make ourselves better out of lack.”#042 - The Cult of Golgotha with Craig WilliamsTrue, that’s more of a manipulation of reality, than authentic change and growth that comes from the experience.Roxanne
===== The motivation of trying to be someone else =====
=== «For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise» (2 Corinthians, 10:12). ===
It is not wise to compare yourself to others. You will never become what God has designed you to be and discover you calling in God if you continually compare yourself to other people. We are so different, and every one of us has been called to do something else; so we do not need to compare ourselves to others. We must get to know God and what He wants for each one of us to do. We should not do what others do. Of course, I can learn something from other people and they can serve as a source of encouragement to me. But I must not be led by the spirit of competition, because this spirit steals our joy.https://satchurch.lv/en/wrong-motivation/
