Motivation as Desire
Motivation is a complex concept. It's abstract and lies somewhere between desire and drive but it's quite hard to nail it down. In my personal life, I tend to oscillate between high motivation and little to no motivation, very rarely do I land on that knife-edge balance which allows me to develop deep-rooted change.

“Drop anchor here,” Eugene barked from the stern of the Mele Kai. I scurried to undo the clove hitch and drop the beat-up anchor off the port side. I had become a quick study in the art of fishing. What had started as an impromptu summer job had quickly morphed into a daily ritual. Each day I would wake with the dawn and meet Eugene down at the boat-slip, his grizzled frownlines growing deeper into his sea-worn face as the sun climbed higher into the sky. His barked orders about the slack mainstay and the state of the tack, which had once been my constant companions, began to quiet as I gained my sea legs.
