Motivation Defined

"Each day we have intent, To improve and survive our ascent Of this mountain called life, Wondering how to climb it right What determines our desire to scale, When faced with the possibility to fail Is it the fear of being pursued, By people telling you what to do Or are we drawn towards power, With every mountain we conquer Are we just following a beaten path, As so many before us have Is it a requirement of life, Each day to do battle against strife Picking up our burdens at the door, To fight the day once more What is it that keeps us going, To push us without knowing If we are to achieve, If that it what we believe Despite feeling overwhelmed, That each day requires us to be compelled Constantly aware the burdens on us, Every moment here until we are dust Like an arrow in its quiver, We need ammunition so our dreams won’t wither Understand then the power of motivation, And how we fuel it’s affirmations Faith that we will endure, With each victory we secure Confidence to make the right choice, Consented by the power in my voice Trust your instincts, And the self doubt it defeats Have the courage to admit to love, And it’s power to soar above Believing in the impossible, Because together you’re unstoppable Today and each day forward, The future as your reward"
