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"
