I think a lot of things motivate a person. A person may say, they are not motivated. But deep inside, the fact that they are acknowledging that they are unhappy, is motivation enough to think of the reasons why. Which may result to finding ways to make them happy.
I have been through a lot of ups and down in my life. It made my life exciting. I would be dead bored if my life was a Flatliner. If anything, when I was down, I had hopes that I have nowhere to go to but "up". I am thankful that my family and friends never gave up on me.
I am at a point in my life now that I would never thought I would get to. I am happy the way things are going. Full of love, full of life, appreciative, but most of all, very motivated.
I think everyone should find what motivates them and use it to the fullest. Trust me, it's worth every shot!
