#9 - Conversations and Creating the Universe Each Morning

I was on my balcony about thirty minutes ago. I had just gotten off the phone with my mom and was enjoying the sounds and creatures of the night before I went back inside, when someone on the ground below called my name. This person I don't know very well, but a conversation ensued. He pauses at some point, looking up at my balcony and says,"can I ask you a personal question?". Usually this signals awkwardness, but I ventured to see what would happen. Instead we had an interesting conversation about reasons and motivation. "How do you motivate yourself to get up in the morning?". I still don't know a lot about this guy, but I think I learned a lot about him tonight. The conversation made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It is nice to talk to someone on a personal level, and sometimes you just have to be willing to see where the conversation takes you. So beasts, what motivates you? Do you have to create the universe every morning?

I think at the time when I responded my answer was a bit lackluster, but reflecting on it now I think I have a much better answer. I guess I am motivated just to see what happens. To see if I can grow enough to do things I couldn't or didn't want to do the day before. And to see how the people and the environment changes everyday.

I've had tonnes of tough times but in actuality most days it makes me realize that it's shaped me as a person. And I guess I wake up in the morning because of the sense that I can overcome. As well as the thought process that nothing stays bad forever.
