We don't find it,
it finds us.

The motivation/interest/desire/energy
to get up and do what needs us to do it.

Our problem is not finding it,
but ignoring it,
dismissing it,
discounting it,
disregarding it,
putting it off,
laying it aside,
rejecting it,
refusing to have anything
to do with it
because it isn't up to our standards,
it doesn't meet our specifications,
it fails to comply with our idea
of who we are
and what it means to be successful
and admired,
and what would the neighbors think?

"So here we sit 
like birds in the wilderness,
waiting on our food."

When all that needs to happen
is for us to get out of the way
and do what has been calling our name
through the ages.

Even yet.
Even so.
Even now.
