Nothing taste sweeter than your own sweat after you achieve what you initially set for. No goals are ever remembered and cherished longer which is earned easily. Every individual once in his life time sets a goal which he dreams of achieving. The drive towards his goal is the motivation that keeps him GOING ON & ON till he reach his goal.
Setting goals are as easy as dreaming about achieving your goals, but reaching your goals is what separates boys from men.I have a dream is what Martin Luther King, Jr said during his Lincoln Memorial speech at Washington DC, He promised his people that they shall not walk alone, and as they walk they always marched ahead and never turn back. He never lived to see his dream come true, but his words ensured that the people worked for the dream he lived for and truly do we see a society that has overcome its apartheid policy.
Have we ever wondered when are own chips are down, what have propelled us to reach our goal. Many a times we come across famous song, poem, speech or words of wisdom from our elders. These are more than sufficient to overcome the hurdles we face on the way to our destination. Motivation is not a phase of life, that you need to go through, buts its just a mere instant that makes you realize that you are worth every ounce of the dream you dreamnt of.
Difficulties are bound to come on a treacherous path that promises of a beautiful destination at its end. Lack of resources and hurdles we face en route always will linger back of the mind questioning the very existence of the beautiful destination we set out for, In such a dire situation when every grey cells deny and muscle hesitate to cooperate for the journey, and we are left alone treading the path. The answer is just Go On & On, Motivation is the source of potential that you can tap when the confidence is low and confusion high. Nothing follows Success as Success, nor Success after Failure, for its easy to get motivated when you are at either end. But when you are in transition between them what keeps us motivated is simply the dream. The pace at which you lose to achieve your goal is the indicator of you losing your motivation. The moment you lose motivation, you compromise on your target. And anything less than achieving your dream, is failure after all.
Your dream exist as long as you keep yourself motivated and the day you lose the motivation, your dream comes crashing. The most important of all your motivation lies on the foundation of your skill and talent. Skilled individual might lack motivation to achieve his goal, but a motivated individual always poses skill to reach his goal. On a final note, motivation is like the ladder on which you climb to reach you goal, but always check that your ladder rest against the right wall, lest you reach wrong top.

The end point of our effort is not what we get from it, but what we become after it. Liked this post because it tallies very well with what I believe in. However, playing the devil's advocate to your line of thinking, you suggest in your post that even when resources have dried out and everyone else has left the path, we should keep going on. Perhaps prudence should judge otherwise. Then what? Belief in one's goal and motivation may drive us on and on; but I think prudence is what tells us in what direction. Even if it means we may have to modify our goals. - Sainath
