take the wheel

So if life was a road, what kind of car would you drive? A red hot sports car? A sensible minivan?
Or would you rather walk? Public transportation maybe?

Either way, something has to get you moving. Something has to drive you, fuel you, push you forward. So what drives us? and where do we find it?

I wonder how far we can get withough drive and motivation. It's certainly possible to live without anything to push us except for maybe the will to at least live. You get up, eat, go to work to make money, have a little rest and recreation, and sleep. Anyone can say they live their lives everyday for the sake of living but if that was the only reason....that's not a life to me.

I don't even think a big overall goal is enough. It isn't enough for you to want to be a surgeon one day or supreme court judge. Although a big dream of some kind is something that needs to be there, I think almost equally important is little inspirations.

They're like sparks. I don't know about everyone else, but I need inspiration all the time. And when I don't have it i feel like nothing matters. I need to see something that gets me excited and thinking. Something more than citrus drinks to recharge me.

Daily inspiration is the only way I will make it through and reach my goals. The hardest part is finding it. Especially if you're stuck in a rut that seems to run too long. You start to doubt your goals and your capabilities. You start to get tired of working for your dream. You start to wonder if its even what you really want. I think this is all fatigue talking. We stop being mindful of what's happening around us and we ignore that there is always something in your world to inspire. Whether it be a stranger's conversation on the train or a grand gesture. Our minds shut down to all this when we feel unvotivated and lackluster.

I'm trying my best not to be blind, not to shut down. I'm sure I'll find something to restore me. I can't lose hope in that.

If we ever get lost or tired on the road...why don't we all look for little inspirations?
