I Want To Understand

What is it that pushes athletes to their breaking point?

What is it that pushes journalists to go behind enemy lines?

What is it that pushes mothers t0 endure childbirth?

What is it that pushes a father to provide for his family?

Is it ambition? Is it hate? Is it love? Is it responsibility?

It is natural to give up and give in, it is natural to stop trying when you have failed.

So what keeps it pushing? What keeps the motivation going?

It is natural to give up, but it is human nature to keep on going, to go 100% and 20 more. To break boundaries and understandings, to represent all people as a surging fire that burns for all of days.

    Motivation is an interesting concept, I agree. What promotes that sense of drive?
