What drives you?

What makes you want to get up in the morning? :cheers:

Are you really happy with your direction right now or is something essential missing?

Yeah... I'm feeling random tonight :tongue:

 

Okay... you asked

What makes me get up in the morning is hope- knowing that the goals I have for my life- no matter how small they may seem are moving me in the right direction. I've battled depression and boredom. I've looked both right in the eyes and have fought back. I wake up to better myself by pushing myself in whatever ways physically and mentally that I can do.

No, I'm not totally happy with my life. But I am happy with the direction its heading. Rome wasn't built in a day.

 

Sex.

(and no, I'm not attempting to be funny)

 

I really don't know what drives me to get up in the morning right now. I just used to not get up, but I guess now that I work I feel some sort of obligation to the establishment.

Am I happy? Nah.

 

I'm not sure if I really have a direction but it's alright, I'm pretty happy. There's something missing but I'm not gonna dwell in it, I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for someday.

 

responsibilities..obligations.

um yes,,and no nothings missing..

more like boring...

 

What gets me up in the morning? The thought of tastey oatmeal, chai mate, and playing guitar before I have to step outside into the freezing world.

And moreover a general appreciation for all the adventures you can fall into everyday, and all the people you meet, and thoughts you think...I'm pretty happy. Feeling a bit restless, needing to travel and see new things. But happy none the less...

 

i don't get up in the mornings...i have no drive right now...i am happy at times and unhappy at other times...
i think the thing keeping me going is the need to get out of this place
i go from day to day hoping for more

 

Now that I think about it...

It's a sad yet honest answer:

The first cigg of the morning makes me get up and go outside.

 

nothing... i get up because i cant sleep anmyore. i only leave the house when i get bored of thigns in my house, or to see freinds but theyre rarely if ever avialable

 

I get up in the morning because I still can. I'll continue doing so until I'm dead.

Whats drives me to do so is the simple fact that I have incomplete business to take care of. Be it life, love, work, play, loaf....

Getting shit done is very satisfying.

 

at this school - the only thing that gets me up in the morning is getting to see my friends, without them, i would lay in bed all day

 

Morning Wood....Never fails its always there ...staring at me..

 

Engines drive me... the speed and adrenaline, the smell of gas and rubber, the deafening screams. I enjoy seeing people giving me strange looks thinking I'm completely insane, risking my life for something they can't understand... Right now the thing that drives me is trading in my fixed up old sled for a pair of broken fixer upper racing sleds from a co worker

Long term I want to design my own fire breathing dragons and get paid to do it, that keeps me in school for the long haul...

As for being happy no I'm not really happy, but I'm content with my life as I don't know any other way to live. There are a lot of things that most people take for granted that I've never had/been/done before, and things I would like to change about myself, but really given the life I was given to start with I think I've beaten the odds to have made it so far so fast.

 

Excellent.


I work with live electricity in a datacenter on a daily basis.

It's my extreme sport and I'd have it no other way.

Living life knowing it may not be there a few seconds later is rather exhilarating.

 

obligation drives me in the mornings...
not happy...
but small pleasant things everyday make me happy for some time
happyness cant be lasting
it's fleeting

 

I have a lot of things to look forward to.

What drives me is passion.

I feel I must finish and direct a movie I'm writing.

I want to explore new (to me) parts of the world and learn more about myself.

I want to become more proficient at aiki, and to take my kickboxing to a new level.

I'd like everyone around me to feel comfortable being themselves around me.

I have to live always doing what I feel is right, even if it doesn't always work out.

There are less dramatic things too. I've never been skydiving. I'd like to eat a lot more diverse food.

Maybe sleep with ET.

 

the universaly gratifying world we could be so easily living in but arn't because too many people still have it in their head that trying to impress each other means more to them then their own happiness is what "drives" what interests me and what i do.

all it would take to build paradise is for no one to robb anyone else of thier calmness. and that is the only way there is ever going to be one. in this life, and i don't see how there could otherwise be one, even in some other. not that i would know if there can or can't. i'm no more infallable then the next idiot.

but i do know what kind of world i would be happier living in. and it isn't one in which, as in ours, it's dominant species is committing the collective suicide of destroying the web of life on which its own existence depends because its members have brainwashed themselves and each other that trying to impress each other at each other's expense was somehow more important.

I get up because, well, I have to! I have a husband and three kids to take care of!

Am I happy with the direction my life is taking right now? Yes.

 

Right now my business plan drives me. Without pursuing what I've planned and achieving the set targets I'm aiming for I will never be truely complete... I get rush when I meet my financial goals each month... It's like a game to me :spliff: I have no margin for error ... I'm so 30 in two weeks (OMFG WTF?!?!?!?!)
