Today I was driving to work, crossing over the trussle and as soon as i dropped down off the freeway I was blinded by sunlight! Everything was bright and beautiful. I looked up to the sky to cherish this wonderful winter morning and I saw mountains. Not just a mountain here or there, but mountains from my left to my right. 180* of mountains! It was amazing!
It made me think that this place, this little piece of earth is my internal motivation. Every time I come down the river road from Everett and see the beautiful Snohomish river, I smile and love everything I may be doing at that moment just because my view is outstanding. I felt the same today, my view of the mountains was astounding...
Then a few moments later I had forgotten all about the view I was seeing, all about the way it made me feel and I felt a little saddened. How can we loose our motivation? Our drive? That thing that makes us smile all the time, no matter what time we see it, no matter how often we see it and no matter what condition it is in. This morning was beautiful, but I love the view of the river the most when its grey out and a little foggy.
That made me realize, why don't i have that feeling inside me already? Why don't I love and cherish myself and my situation and everything I have from the inside everyday and count my blessings and have internal motivation at all times? Why do I only allow myself to feel that way only when I see something pretty, rather than just feel that pretty all the time on the inside? I think if I focused on that this year, focusing on how my little everyday things I do, see or have make me feel eternally motivated and inspired I may be traveling the right path. So that is exactly what I will be doing. Focusing on the good and bad, but seeing how it can drive me to be motivate, driven and inspired.
I shall not focus on the past, the friendships lost, the opportunities I may have missed or the things I should change. Instead I shall focus on how to accept everything i have and make it internally awesome!
