Motivation

Motivation is an extremely powerful force. What motivates? Motivation in my mind is largely internal, but also very learned. When I think about what motivates me, there is an intrinsic drive - but also, much of the motivation is derived from my experiences. For instance, current career aspirations and cycling objectives and many of my life goals would never have gained a priority focus for me if it hadn`t  been for the failures, successes and other learnings from being a `partcipant`. Such experiences  have forced me to question and assess priorities on a continual basis. In a nutshell, I feel fortunate to have a healthy motivational drive.  Competition is healthy! On another note, I have a conscience to look out for the underdog.
