Motivation

Where does motivation originate? Better yet...where does it strive? My whole life has been built off of motivation. Motivation to get out of bed, one more time. Motivation to walk to school, one more day. Motivation to get up, after falling too far. Motivation to live, just one more hour. This motivation may be difficult to start, but once you start...it seems like everything else falls into place. Going to school, especially on the days you didn't want to, led me to a two months before graduating. Getting out of bed helped me to meet people I will remember forever. Getting up, after strife, built courage, strength and respect. Living just one hour led to another hour, leading to a day...a week...a year, and finally today. It all led to me writing this post, the motivation to say something. Knowing that maybe I won't be heard, or understood. The point is, have the motivation...the courage...the desire to do more. We live in a life of adults and peers that tell us we can't.  What would have happened if Walt Disney listened to people who told him he couldn't? What about Albert Einstein, George Washington, or even Martin Luther King, Jr.? Every man and woman that gave up, could have been used for the progression of mankind. The people who had the motivation and courage to fulfill their dreams, those are the people history remembers. Those are the people kids learn about in school, admire and hope to become.

Dare to dream! To live! To be! Begin a new life, the life you want to live. Take that chance with that crush, the job you want, the life you want to live. Go somewhere new, dream, and be that. Count your blessings, thank your parents and friends for being with you through thick and thin. You can make your life amazing, without even living...if you just see it through new eyes. Open your eyes to the innocent, to happiness and love. Help those who need it, or just live life how you want. If you bring goodness into the world, the world will bring goodness back to you. Just remember that every life has a lesson to learn, the easy way...or the hard way. Terrible things happen so that we can learn a lesson, or learn to cope. Learn to let things go and forgive. Throw away all your blame...and just learn that everything happens for a reason. Give life a good reason to remember you, and begin something new.

BEGIN SOMETHING NEW TODAY.
