THE LACK OF MOTIVATION IS LACK OF AMBITION

Have you ever experienced a situation where you totally lack the drive to go on with whatever you are doing whether it is school or work or just life in general? That unpleasant feeling where things have gotten so tough yet you have neither the drive nor the motivation to do whatever you are supposed to do!

The only option you have is to compose yourself and do it or otherwise you fail. Well, we all have that one thing in our hearts which gives us the drive to wake up in the morning and fulfil our purpose in life. There are however some who may not feel the same way since whatever or whoever the influence was, is no longer there thinking they have nothing to lose.

We ought to remember that just as everybody came alone in this world, so shall the exit be. At the end of the day your life is all about you. You may have a family that you love, friends who care about you, a partner who cannot live without but when it comes to your life, you should know that you stand alone because with a blink of an eye all that may vanish leaving you alone.

Growing up, my only challenge was to make my parents happy by excelling in everything. Since their happiness is my solace I did everything to make sure I achieved that, which also included working so hard in school and being good at what I do. 

As time progressed however,school life ended and despite having my loved ones on my side, life is no longer all about excelling in school and going home with that impressive report making my parents happy. Now I have to attend to more pressing matters than just that report card I always worked hard for. It was all too overwhelming to realize that now it is all about me as an individual and no longer as a family package attached to my parents. They did all that as a catalyst to bring out the best in me to shape up my future. It is now up to me and only me to be whatever I want to be in this life. Of course, God has his plans in store for us but he doesn't expect us to sit there and wait for that good job or that lifestyle of our dreams to fall from the sky.

The moral of my story is that before we start complaining that we lack the motivation and drive to do whatever we have to do to succeed we should remember that we are not living on behalf of somebody else. These are just mental role models to catalyse our pursuit to greatness. That opportunity you are wasting may be the only chance you have to be whatever you want to be in your life.

Note: 

 Lacking motivation is lacking ambition.
