Motivation
P K Routray

In tough times, how to stay motivated?
to this most of the time we get mauled and our mind get haunted.
On this query I contemplated and pondered for a while,
My inner voice came out with some answers, which here I compile.
“Always look at how far you have come
rather than how far you have to go that often looks awesome.
Always count your blessing,
not what you are missing.
Success is a measure to your deeds as others view.
But satisfaction is a measure to your deeds as perceived by you.
Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying
than knowing the road you rode so far with grousing or boasting.
You work with the compass.
Let others work with the clock as if they will not to allow time to pass.
What surprises us about the people?
Being well aware of the pitfalls, still they allow their greed and selfishness make the life stressful.
When they suffer they ask, "why me?"
When they prosper, they never ask "Why me"? as we see.
Everyone wishes to have truth on their side,
but very few want to be on the side of the truth with possible pride.
These stand on the way of our motivation,
when we face failures and obstacles, obscuring our vision
