STRETCHING MOTIVATION

by Rex ‘Morexter’ Molines

“What is your motivation in life? How will you motivate yourself?”

These questions pertain to the prognostic word which is ‘motivation’. That it was triggered throughout my mind while demurring and pangs myself by thinking “Am I a motivated person? How do I often evoke and face the responsibilities in life which I myself prepare?”

Motivation is our own conviction. It is an assertion or affirmation of every individual who is enthusiastic to attain a meaningful life. To be motivated, you have to visualize your goal in life through hard working. Even though, there are times that we have difficulties getting our desire in life.

In my disposition in life, there are instances that I really don’t know how to set and prioritize everything I oath than usual. I keep myself not facing the decisions I make. I have to let myself known my priority; I need to set aside everything I do habitually. Laziness and poor self-reliance are the reasons why it’s hard to motivate myself, particularly in job interviews. The interviewer might ask some questions about motivation and I am required to give comprehensive and sufficient answers. From that part, I comprehend that question and I am too slow to open my mouth because I don’t know what words I might be actually saying on them.

I’ve always wanted to be motivated in such things I desire. I do prepare listing or daily tasks before I go to work. I try to be more dependent on my decision at all. But all in a sudden; I give up everything I have instead of focusing on it. There are instances that I made my decisions quickly but not sure. I was bothering myself how could I be an effective person to do all the tasks and responsibilities as being son to my parents and a breadwinner to our family, though my both parents own a business. But since that the money or income they earned is not enough to provide for our daily expenses much more paying their debts and wages to their workers.

I had to push myself to do my part; I prompt myself to be more matured and motivated. It is like a promise that everyone will expect something I do right away. There’s no reason to escape the risks by neglecting my priorities and responsibilities in life as I could. I accept the fact that sometimes life is unfair. But then again, I have to be more inventive to reach my goal in life and as being fair to myself and to others.

For me, there are important things to stretch and uphold the word motivation; being realistic, logical, and experimental in life. I have to be levelheaded in all problems I face and understand every circumstance. Be conversant in all illogical things I encountered; I don’t want to stay inside the box, I had to explore outside the wall I was created. Life will give me ninety-nine percent grief’s and still the one percent is the trust I have from God to complete the hundred percent of me.

Today, I motivate myself to become more aggressive, a ground-breaking person and punctual. At my age of 26, I had to set goals and priorities in life on whatever profession I want to achieve, and this will be my conviction by stretching, empowering me myself and I. So be it! #RBM
