What is motivation?
Motivation is both the desire and willingness to do something. It’s what gets you started and keeps you going.

When you take the first step to approach Life as an experience and not a chore or a task, you can go about fostering the expansion and development of your perception of Life. Living Life is a type of consciousness, it’s a mindset. An analogy to this would be, an Experience is to Life what Articulation is to Speaking. Everyone can speak but not everyone can articulate properly. Everyone has a Life, but not everyone experiences Life. The mindset of Life is you are either living life as a chore or you are living life as an experience. The distinction between the two is they way you visualize your Life. That is all it is, they way you think about it.
