Ponders in Hope

Nice colours~~ Artist: Kenji Asakawa

It is what keeps us moving, it is what we set in our lives, it forces us to wake up, it helps us go to sleep, and it can perhaps cure illness. So what is this amazing thing? Motivation.
It can also tie in with inspiration. I've been thinking about this lately because early in summer I basically lost motivation in all those things I that really kept me moving everyday and it kinda bummed me out to feel like that.. It was sort of like I could stop doing everything right then and nothing would really matter. And it wasn't a positive reassurance that everything was well, more as if I felt like nothing could move. Luckily, I'm out of that state of mind and I am back to regular operation now. Lol, no really XD. 
People often mix motivation with hope. Hope is a reassurance that takes place for motivation.. I think. You need to have aspirations or goals to feel like you're moving. I guess that's why the clock has just been going in circles back and forth for some of us. That or hope or faith in something, that something can happen; that you can change it. We get this feeling a lot.
Actually I don't think motivation can just disappear if it were there in the first place, it's just that something is blocking it. The block can be serious or just something that you can toss aside, but it's so frustrating at the moment that the block just won't budge. And when it does, your goals seem so clear again. It's refreshing, really.
It's amazing how something so simple can bring colour and meaning to our lives..

So what keeps you moving?
