THIS IS PART OF LINDAGHILL’S JUST JOT IT JANUARY
Today 14th January the prompt is Motivation and it was suggested by Aaron
MOTIVATION
I offered to take her but she answered no
I have other things to do but was happy to go.
I try to chat but she turns a deaf ear
I do my best but I may as well not be here.
He tells me my cooking is not like his
He does it a different way adding that and this.
He washes the floors quicker and better and of course cleaner
He he finds dust where I don’t, his eyes must be keener.
Motivation where have you gone
Is it something I’ve said or something I’ve done?
I used to do everything and cope well before
Now I just can’t be arsed. No motivation anymore.
You see motivation is a very special thing
You need to make life go with a natural swing.
So if it stolen or banished or killed
It leaves a huge hole in your life that cannot be filled.
When you offer to help and it is thrown back in your face
It really hurts and that hurt can fester and rob your of grace.
Don’t let that pain hurt you and turn your soul black
Find motivation in a different place, regain the confidence that you lack.

Reblogged this on Aaron Elmore and commented:
Here is a wonderful poem which is on the topic of motivation (as part of Just Jot it January 2016), losing it and finding it again. We all need reminding sometimes that we can find that inner spark again, we just need to look hard enough.
