You might think money

Perhaps even power

But, what if your motivation changed by the hour?

You might think recognition

Or maybe a special plaque

But, what if your seat in the classroom was always in the back?

Sometimes, it can even come from failure

When everything has simply gone wrong

With tears in your eyes, motivation arrives

In the middle of a really good song.

You might think of me

as a really bad poet

Please keep that to yourselves

Cause I already know it!

But, to answer this prompt

about what motivates me?

It’s having a purpose, of course… plus the cookies are free!

**No, free cookies don’t have anything to do with purpose being my motivation! I just didn’t have anything else to put there at the end, so cookies seemed to rhyme. ** I’m the queen of disclaimers!
