Motivation...w/Purduefan

purduefan · **Posted:** Thu May 31, 2012 11:35 am

Motivation is a powerful tool that can be used to accomplish and overcome a many of great things. Motivation is what drives us, pushes us, and helps us triumph over adversity.

Motivation is the force inside of us that propels us forward during our times of sorrow, fatigue, and heartache. Motivation is that inner voice that whipsers to us "keep going..", even though we feel we can not go any further.

Motivation gives us the courage to proceed...

Now on to the question. :?:

What motivates you? What are some of the encouragements that help "drive" you to your
very own "finish line"?

As for me, seeing my family and friends happiness is all the courage I need to get up every morning in this so called life of mine.

(That and a nice size pay check at the end of the week

)

As always I look forward to reading your responses.

These days, I'm motivated by the fact that my kids are almost grown and I can look to retirement in the next few years. Kinda skewed, eh? :lol:

I'm not much of a skier, although not too shabby of a snowboarder :wink:

Beautiful view though. Thanks for stopping by pal.

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness;
it is generally the by-product of other activities.

No problem, Krissy.

One thing that motivates me is failure. Whenever I am unsuccessful at something, the feeling of defeat drives me even harder. I am far from a sore loser, but just the slightest chance at "winning" or accomplishing a goal, is the motivation that refuses to let me give up.
