What is your motivation to life?
« on: September 17, 2012, 06:00:10 PM »
maybe a bit strange question. but I wonder what is your motivation or your goal in life?
do you life because you want to make a better world, do you life because you enjoy some things, or do you life because other people do love you? there is no wrong answer here  ^_^ .

I look at life like a video game or book. If you end it before it's over, you never know how it ends. That's my motivation: to see where life takes me, and how everything works out. Like a Sherlock Holmes movie. I want to see how all the clues culminate in the catching of the bad guy.  ^_^

"Normal" is a word for something that doesn't exisit. It was created by those who don't challenge the status quo, and don't aspire to greatness.
Happiness is the way the Universe rewards those who face the hardships in their lives head on, with determination in their hearts.
Love is what binds us all together, what keeps us sane, makes us insane, holds the world and Universe together.
In my mind, it doesn't matter where you are going, where you've been, where you are, nor even the journey you're on. What matters is that you keep moving, no matter where you're going, where you've been, and where you are. Just keep moving.

At this point, my main motivation would be my mate. I'm honestly not sure what would become of me if it weren't for him <3
Though as well I suppose the feeling of wanting to reach accomplishment is another point for me. I want to be successful in my future and reach my goals.

my meaning in life?


I was told from birth to age five, by my father, that i was stupid, worthless, and would never amount to anything, and abused every way possible


then i was put in fostercare, the adults could care less in  the grouphomes, but my peers treated me as an outcast, called me stupid, ugly, weird, useless.


then the foster families, i was treated well, but noone cared about my dreams, my wishes, hopes, desires, fears, at scool it was stupid, ugly, weird, retarded, and unlikeable.


when my  father insulted me, i laid down and took it, in fostercare i had developed the desires to be more than that, and by the time i was in the foster families, they were calling me stupid, yet i was in middle school, on a college reading level.




my drive in life?
most people live and die, leaving not the slightest idea fifty years later that they actually existed, other than a grave stone


I strive to watch them fade into the void of uneventful history, rise above their insults, and be immortalized by the very thing that made them fade from the memory of society,


i want to prove them all wrong.

I live to make something of myself, not money or fame, but to advance society in the discipline of science, to improve the way of life for society and do my part for my species.

I believe everything is finite and that there is no afterlife, and that's my motivation to live.

To see places I've never been, to know people I haven't met, and to explore to my hearts content ;) . I'm simply interested in seeing the colors in this world that so many try to make monochrome :P . If I can help others along the way then all the better ^_^ .

I don't really have any motivation.  Lately everything that happens makes me not want to live.  But I figure I might as well just live cuz if I die things can't get better for me.

My motivation to life is knowing that I don't know what I can achieve yet. Whether it is something great or not I want to achieve to  as much as I can and to explore new things the world has to offer. I also look forward to things that I enjoy.

Motivation to live?

-shrugs-

I live to live. As the days go by, I can feel them flying past me...

Personally I live in a world where things are real down to earth - I got a dead end job, have no relationship so far with a significant other...

But I live for one good reason - To live for the next day! You never know what surprises are going to await you the next day! What surprises and mysteries await!

And frankly, I'm a fan of mysteries. Its natural to fear the unknown, but I embrace it!

Oh, that and uh, friends, family that sort of stuff... that corny stuff.

There are two things that motivate me above all else: The desire to discover new things, gain new knowledge, see how the future pans out day by day, and the desire to benefit society, make new discoveries myself, and leave the world as good of a place as I can. I think we all have something unique to offer the world, and I want to be able to use my abilities and strengths to drive the world forward. There is so much to know and you can't know it all, but I want to know as much of it as I can by the time I die. (And on a darker note I also don't believe in an afterlife or anything, so I want to make the most of it while I'm here)  ;)

I see life as an adventure. An adventure I plan to live out to its fullest. I may still be young, but I'm sailing my own ship, and I'm not looking for treasure. There's going to be dangers along these seas, but I just go where the water flows, and make the adventure of life a tale worth writing ^_^

Meet new people, do new things, try new foods, go new places, just live. Explore, discover, have fun with things. No need to be serious or tense or mean, because life is too short to be gloomy all day. Go run, say hi to the guy across the street, start a conversation with someone waiting in a line, enjoy yourself. Now I may be just 13, but this is how I plan on living life, as the adventure is my motivation. I can be so poor I live in a cardboard box, but as long as I have my own two feet, I'm never bored. I can and will make my life a happy one. You know you are happy when you don't need anything else. I could make do without a GF, a job, or anything else. Just my feet and my brain are all I need to get this ship sailing.

So you're a musician Byracka? Music is one of my most favorite things for inspiration, its easier to make people feel something with music than other art forms in my opinion. x)


My motivations in no particular order:

Religion: I want to learn all my life's lessons in this reincarnation and get it right.

My Boyfriend: I try very hard to make him happy, and he does the same for me. My ultimate goal in this aspect is to be able to afford our own place (Hopefully a house, but we'll take an apartment if its in a good part of town)

Good Doing: I want to leave the Earth a better place than when I came into it. I want to help people, animals, and the environment with my special talents (I don't know what they are yet though...)

And most of all...

Happiness: I just want to be happy and successful in life. Success in my life isn't being rich or famous, its just doing what I want to do, making good choices so i don't regret anything that I've done, and making my community better.
