In an existence where obstacles are bound to be around us all the time, success is not a matter of keeping them away from us, but of acquiring the perseverance to overcome them. Motivation isn't something that is bestowed upon us; it is something inherent, a spark that takes hold of the will to continue even when the path ahead seems blurry. Your aspiration is the motor that pushes you along, yet to keep it moving it must be constantly supplied with fuel. Whatever the goal–becoming great, getting better, merely persevering to avoid giving up–motivation is an attitude which can be fostered day to day.
