Incentives

Living is about giving yourself a reason to wait for another day. Something to look forward to. Having the right reason to go on believing in life. If the reasons excite the mind, make you feel good about your existence, you say you are happy. If the reasons are not so merry then well, you find your life stretching into a long saga of not so many right reasons. Or maybe incentives. Carrots.
There was no need for me to get so philosophical.
I am looking forward to some things in my life these day and trying to tell myself that there is nothing so great about those things. It's just that the reasons are going all right so far but that has nothing to do with me or my deeds. Lets just say someone is trying to show me the carrots, and I am smiling looking at them while still knowing that they are tied on the stick just out of my reach.
