Motivated People

There are plenty of motivated people on this planet - plenty for one reason and plenty for others, but I think there is something to be said of people who find themselves in unmotivated slumps (we all get them, even the most motivated of us). It is interesting to meet people who have this innate drive to just move forward, no matter. At times, they seem so undeniably consumed by passion and burning with desire to reach some ever moving, ever persistently allusive goal; meanwhile, at other times, they seem gassed, as if they've hit a wall. Now, the difference between the two is really only the current attitude, but the long term goal never changes. Speak to a motivated person about their goals, there delivery will go few ways, but it will always fall between these two end points - excitable, exuberant, knowing, and calm, passive, knowing.

Now, my illustrated point is that the end result will remain, but as we are human we will have our ups and downs. Talk to a motivated person during either up or down, they will give you the same reply, simply the delivery will be different. To them, the idea of anything "other", an "other" outcome than the one they have ordained for themselves has never been imagined, and simply isn't an option. Removing the option from their mind has given them liberty (or a cage, you choose) to continue to move forward, be it by running forward or falling, but again, the result will remain in the hands of progress.

Now, granted, forward movement can take massive leaps in short time periods, but it can also crawl forward as if bound by chains. The point is, that no matter the speed, no matter the energy put behind it, a motivated person will only find disappointment, anger, and feel unfulfilled in the face of immobility, but so long as mobility is achieved, even in its deadest sense, this is enough to satisfy the craving of movement toward ones goals. As we are human, from a point of nigh immobility, we can also suddenly surge with energy, as well.

It is pretty remarkable to observe, feel, or even notice. Moving forward is the necessity, the speed by which is the impulse, but even the impulse sometimes "pulses" out and we make peace with the little we are able to do with the current state of our being (often morose).
