The Me I Want to Be, authored by John Ortberg, and published in 2010 by Zondervan Press, is a powerful and practical guide to the secret to finding fulfillment in life and to grow in our relationship with Him and to cooperate with Him (2010).

Romans 1: 21 says “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened” this verse is saying that people refused to glorify Him as God. Crabb states in his book Crabb, (1977) that “By not bowing the knee to God’s purpose and lordship, they lost all hope of true significance” (pg.73). Second chapter is “Motivation: Why do we do what we do”, Dr. Crabb states within the text Crabb, (1977) that “Motivation to meet any of these first four needs might therefore be called Deficit Motivation, a desire prompted by a felt lack and designed to supply what is missing” (pg. 82).

Motivation is a very broad term that is discussed in a variety of settings. There is the motivation to perform in a business setting, the motivation to perform on the field of competition, the motivation to provide for friends and family, and the motivation to accomplish goals that have been set.
