Incentive
Tim is ten years younger than I am, but he’s dying. An alcoholic for years, he has lost everything important to him – wife, kids, job, and home. Tim says he doesn’t want to die, but he has no incentive to keep living. Very sad. Three years ago, I bought a bicycle for incentive to get in shape. I’ve now ridden it over 3,000 miles. My wife just bought an expensive bike, to give her incentive to ride and lose weight. This summer we hope to take an anniversary cruise, so we now have an incentive to “get hot” (my wife’s words) before summer. Without incentive, life would be a very dreary existence. There are lots of great incentives in my life. How about yours?
