What is our motivation source or propelling force that actuates us, allow us to take a step?

While some of the things are making us happy and creating sense of fulfilment in our home, workplace, or life, however we feel discomfort with some of them and want to change it. Sometimes we make a quick decision and apply it, yet sometimes it is difficult to take a step.

When we consider life in general, alteration is inevitable, and we can't stay out even if we want to. We overthink when we are about to move one of the stones in our lives. Taking responsibility is being difficult and we have to be decisive if we want it. "After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box." But what are the things that make your life meaningful, that keep you away from the things which make you say "I am glad I did it." instead of saying "I wish I had not done it."

What kind of motivation do we need to get started?

Absolutely in our lives, there are some moments that we have made from scratch and enjoy being a part of it even it doesn't seem important to everyone else. When we look at all the things we have achieved, we will see "starting" is the first thing that differ from the things in our minds, and we couldn't do.

Starting is an important step, but it is not enough by itself. Then, it is important for us to keep in our minds that we should stay in the road, what makes us walk in this road, what makes us walk in this road and why we want this movement. Without patience, will and faith, it is impossible for us to walk in this road decisively.

Unfinished works are like incomplete relationships. It is important that it enfolds us, and we find ourselves in it. All achievers have 24 hours. We also have 24 hours. It might not be easy to make a room for us and for the plan that we want among daily rush and fuss of our life, and the things we already have to do. Just like making a cake, we plan, buy materials in complete, create time, cook, and then eat with real pleasure.

Taking in action is the first step by taking responsibility and depart despite of failure risk at the same time. We always have liberty of making choices. We might not change our experiences, but we have free will to make a choice of attitude that we have and stance that we maintain. We decide it ultimately. Big or small, there might be so many things that we want to do. We all take up space in this world, and we cannot change things without the change we want to make in this world. Then, now is the time. It is time to achieve what we want in this world by planning, turning the things we have into opportunity, not delaying, keep going pertinaciously.
