What motivates you?

My optimism, as I mentioned in my previous post, “Optimistic till death”, is due to the planetary combination in my birth chart; I have an innate optimism.

Now, what else motivates me? Music, of course, all kinds of music and in different languages, Italian, French, Spanish, Greek, and English. The various sounds, beats, and melodies vibrating are reaching out to my soul and triggering something inside me that awakens my creative mind. This further motivates me to express myself. This happens at the spot while listening to the sound and melody. For that reason, I must always have something beside me to make notes.

Also, an interesting book, movie, or series can motivate me, giving me the courage to pursue my passion for writing—an inspiring line, dialogue, or scene.

Being surrounded by people who support and encourage me is also essential for my motivation. Who doesn’t need a kind word or a hug? Although in my case, the number of people who do so is limited. Nevertheless, I keep on walking.

I think the most important thing is to have the strength to motivate yourself, because in the end, it’s only you who can make the vital moves in your life. Because in one’s lifetime, there will always be a lack or hindrances, be it people or things.
