Stanislavski talks about motivation. Remember that this is what moves your character.
For your monologue you will create and develop a character. Then you will put it all into context. Create a basic story line in which your character would be delivering this monologue. Keeping this in mind will help you stay focused on what you want the character to say and why they are saying it;)
