Intersection 26

When excitement and motivation meet...

Does excitement breed motivation? Or does motivation cause excitement? Well, whatever view you may believe in, I believe that your answer is correct. With the experiences I have encountered recently, I can say that excitement and motivation are intertwined partners. One cannot exist without the other. Being excited about something motivates you to achieve it. While being motivated to realize a goal keeps you excited about the future. The struggles may seem long and tiring, some may even make you want to give it all up, but there is a degree of determination that cannot be concealed by exhaustion. And this, I think, is caused by the excitement-motivation duo.

I have began my classes in Masters of Science in Psychology last week. I couldn't sleep prior to my first class in the graduate program because my mind was filled with uncertainties. I did not know what to expect, and this made me feel uneasy. I have this thing for predicting scenarios to make me somehow prepared of the possibilities, but entering the graduate program governed a wide spectrum of chances. I am still adjusting to the vibe of studying again, but I feel excited to learn. I am also motivated to finish my studies with flying colors.

Another event that will soon be inserted in my interesting schedule is an online shop that I, my sister and one of my closest friends have opened. There are plenty of online shops now, but we are hoping people will become interested in the clothes we will be selling. Though there is a profit involved, we are primarily thinking about lessening the content of our cabinets... to make way for new clothes.

With all things happening pretty quickly. I cannot seem to be grateful enough for all the opportunities I am involved in. There may be more roads and crossroads I may travel to reach the goals (which are constantly being revised) I have set, but I know I can make it. I am still burdened by moments of doubt and fear at times, but the will to look at a better perspective of situations push me out of the dark boxes.

I hope you find something exciting and something that will motivate you soon.

Until the next exciting thing,

Myra
