“A reason for doing something, especially one that is hidden or not obvious.” Referring to research, this is what a motive is. But in-depth, a motive could be so much more, or at least that is what I believe. Each and every one of us has a purpose. To maximize our purpose to its fullest potential we use a motive. Us all being unique individuals we have and use different motives. Often we lose sight of our motives, which can, unfortunately, make us forget what our purpose is. But this is one of the many reasons that makes life so beautiful.

Day by day, from the moment we are born, the things that get us through are constantly changing. But our purpose remains the same. Though we can never be certain what our purpose is, we deep down know that we all have one. Sometimes some people neglect, forget, or even push away their purpose. Sadly even less of these people will never regain the knowledge of their meaning in this so called life. We all need to be a helping hand to one other and remind us all what we are here for. Even if we don’t know. Let’s always remember and remind.

We can often become lost. Forgetting what gets us going in life. If this happens, you need to remember, your highlights will always return again. They come and go for a reason. But this is why we need to try new things. We need to engage with one another, we need to try new food, we need to listen to new music, meet unfamiliar people and travel to unfamiliar places. I’m not saying we all need to jump into the water, but we all need to at least dip our toes. Because you never know what you may find, and you never know what you might actually like.

My motive was always changing, and it could still be changing without me knowing. The neatest thing about motives is you can have multiple. They can range and vary from things such as your family and friends, your work ethic, your hobbies, or really anything. For me, I find other people’s work of art and literature so inspiring. Rupi Kaur is one the reasons I aspired to become a more intellectual and deep writer. She is the reason that made me want to push and publish some of my work when I made my personal blog over a year ago now. Because writing is something that makes my heart beat faster, especially when I’m letting someone else read it for the very first time. Writing is one of my many motives, and it helps me find purpose. In many ways it makes me feel as if I’m giving others purpose. Not that I know I actually am, but I’m only hoping.

Learning about what gets others out of bed each morning is so intriguing. Because this world is so large and everyone is different. It’s almost as if our motives are our own little cultures. And we are all lucky enough to be surrounded by the people we were meant to be surrounded by, and we get to have a taste of their own little personal cultures. Constantly engaging with one another, gaining new knowledge every day about different things and information about our loved ones. Let’s start connecting our motives with our purpose. What is your motive?
