MOTIVATION
MATTERS


By Josie Whitehead

LESSON PLANS etc:  HERE
Motivation Matters

It’s motivation, drive, desire
Which starts that inner burning fire.
     It’s feeling that you must succeed
     Which then becomes your utmost need.

​

Motivation makes you act
For it excites you, that’s a fact.
    With heart set on that special goal
    There’s burning deep within your soul.

​

The force behind that inward aim
Starts as a softly flickering flame.
    You’ll harness it and take control
    As you move swiftly to your goal.

​

That little spark can cause a fire
That’s fed and nurtured by desire.
     Its flickering flame's the actuation
     Which nurtures inner motivation.

* actuate: causing someone/something to act in a certain way.  (to motivate he/she/it/them).  'the actuation' is that which stimulates something to start.​​​
