Motivation

Hii, 

Motivation, its such a big part of life. I think its so odd that everything you want to do or achieve comes down to questioning yourself "Do I have the motivation?," it could be as simple as getting of out of bed to get a drink of water in the middle of the night or something larger then that like starting a big assignment as soon as you receive it instead of the night before its due , or yet again something much larger like stepping out of you comfort zone and hiking the Pacific Crest Trail like Cheryl Strayed did. Her book was recently got made into a movie called "Wild". I saw it last night and it gave me the 'motivation' to write this post. without giving to much away, the movie is about a woman named Cheryl Strayed played by Reese Witherspoon who decides to hike the 1,100-mile Pacific Crest Trail. I suggest if you have a chance go see it was quite interesting.

Motivation I believe is the key to any success, if you have a lot of Motivation to complete something, you will set your mind to it and you will do it. In saying that, sometimes motivation can go missing even when you really want to achieve something, I find this frustrating as this happens to me a lot. I'm not a expert or anything but I think without motivation you can end up procrastinating forever and its easy to blame your lack-of motivation on someone or something else, but in the end its really about you. Only you can have the motivation for your self. I would like my motivation to stay with me this year because your last year of school is pretty big, but at the same time I have to realise that its easier said than done so if I lose a little bit of motivation I have to know its alright and I'm only human. 

I think motivation is a really special and useful tool because once you have a lot it I don't know about anyone else but I feel like I can conker anything you want to do in life, I think once you get this feeling you should treasure it, so when you're having a not so motivated day,  you can remember that brilliant feeling that you felt when you were motivated and hopefully this will encourage you to get back to that awesome mind set. This might not work all the time but its a good thing to keep in mind.
