What motivates me is knowing I can do something that most (or at least some) would say its impossible.

Other things that motive me is being able to take care of myself on my own terms, not when the clock tells me.

I still have yet to answer this questions for myself. I know what makes me happy/gets me out of the zone or de-stresses me. But motivates? Maybe knowing that I’ll never be in a 2 hour bumper-to bumper traffic.

I love short, simple sentences that help me live MY life not someone else’s. The words of wisdom from other’s shared experiences stay in my mind and prepare me to put them into action for myself.
Thanks and if I don’t win….I’ll buy the book!

I agree with Sara…thank you dear one. I love it!

Our children were a couple of motivated young boys, now men.
I loved seeing the joy in their faces at something they had accomplished. And then, wanting to do more, make more, get more or go farther…
I suppose this motivation, is also where capitalism or free enterprise comes from…

I can still see that fire in their eyes when discussing things important to them.
There’s a sense of motivation there.
You can also see it, when the “light or spark” goes out.

Now, when grandchildren have that same spark, or passion, you know life is in there. And they’re going places!

Thank you for bringing it to my attention again!

God bless America!

I gotta say, I love this kind of post from you. You take something I knew, in a nebulous way, in the back of my head, and you put it in unignorable black and white and force me to deal with it. Thanks!
