One Foot in Front of the Other

My motivation runs thin. The ambition I used to have was as bright as the sun, has dimmed. Sometimes it will shine through, then fade away in an instant. My life is passing me by, and I am letting it. You think knowing that I'm lucky to be alive would be enough to make me to get off my ass and move my feet forward. It should be, I am ashamed that it has not been such. When we're young we have these big dreams and have this picture of what the world should be. Then we grow up, life happens, our dreams change or become out of our reach. We go from being eternal optimists to a pessimist who begins to see the glass as half empty. I want to turn things around. I want my glass to be half full, my ambition and dreams as bright as the summer sun.
