Motivated Against My Will

Sometimes motivation is expected of us, before being asked if we want to be motivated in the first place. People assume we will be over the moon about something, when we haven't had the time to contemplate any possible interest. Other times there are tasks we need to tackle that makes burning at the stake seem more attractive. Such is life, full of surprise and mystery and the mundane. Who really wants to clean out the rain gutters on a sunny, Saturday afternoon...not me, but it might be the only free time I have to get it done, so I do it. I try to think of what enjoyable activity I may have to look forward to later.
