What Motivates You?



I’ve been reaching high and low to find motivation lately, and although I know it’s there, I can’t quite grasp it. While last week felt like living again and reignited my passion and the spark of my creativity, this week has brought me back to mundane days and long nights trying to make sense of and sort through my dreams. Sometimes the hardest part is just beginning because the work ahead of you seems so daunting.  I have had to be patient with myself, for these days, my ideas want to sit below the surface, refusing to be released. I’m waiting for that burst of energy that lets me know I can dive forth into the unknown fearlessly.

What motivates me the most in this moment is the music, and the memories it has so recently created for me rising up in my soul; my dear friends who encourage me through the relentless storm of life that keeps coming back to retrieve a little bit more of my energy. Knowing that there is foundation that I can work from encourages me to keep moving forward and striving to return to where I used to be. For so long I had a plan, it just got off track for a while. I think that the key might be in trusting that there is more than one path that can lead you to where you need to be. With fall on the way, I anticipate that I will be able to recharge myself and tackle my projects with a new found motivation, letting passion lead the way. That’s the hope, at least. Only time will tell if I can make it work.

What motivates you?
