Being motivated is the catalyst for our existence. Motivation is such a simple word but not a
simple action. When we have it, it brings us life, when we don’t, life feels like a slow death.
Motivation is something that takes place internally. Once you have it, you are unstoppable but
when you lose it, it’s hard, not impossible to get it back. Motivation is an action that brings
positive results when we put it in action and make it a continuous part of our life and yet, it is not
an action that is easy to acquire or maintain. There are a lot of reasons why one can lack
motivation: laziness, disappointment, frustration, depression, rejection, consistently being told
no, a lack of opportunity, financial strain, etc. While all of these reasons for lacking motivation
are valid, we should not allow them to over shadow the quality of life that we envision for
ourselves, nor should we use it as an excuse to give up. Life is hard and it is filled with trials and
tribulations, but it is also filled with adventure and discovery. Whatever we are facing in life, if
we can find one thing to be grateful for, we can use that as the seed to plant into our mind where
we can nurture the thought, cultivate our imagination, and achieve what we never thought was
possible.
