It keeps us going, it pushes us to keep trying even when we feel like we can't go on anymore, and it's what makes us excited about things in the first place. Motivation is one of those things that can be found in so many different places and situations, but it's up to us choose how much motivation we want to take from each source. In fact, there are even apps designed to help people find motivation!
