What motivates me?

Hello ladies, I'm just sharing some thoughts here. What motivates me?

Motivation is defined as this: Move to action.

Sometimes I ask myself: What motivates me to do the things that I do? Is it ego? Is it the need to improve my life? Is it the need to improve my life? Is it because I want things to be different? Ego is defined as an exaggerated sense of self-importance, conceit.

Well, I know that I'm not conceited, far from it. I would think my motivation is to improve my life, to live a bit better then I used to live and to think about my life in a different light. Where before I used to have a self-defeatist's attitude, it's now become an attitude of self-building up, changing and improving.

There are somedays that aren't always that easy and simple. Sometimes it takes a while for me to be at my best. Sometimes my life takes off, sometimes my life is slow and plodding. But it does move. I have added positive people in my life, people that want something, that are going places; doing things and are successful. Not only with money, but with personal relationships and with their own private lives.

I would never turn my back on the friends that I had before, never; I refuse to be held back or slowed down to a grinding halt. Even though it seems like the working world wants nothing to do with me, That's ok. I will make something of myself, a writer that has improved over the years, a person that has grown from being a selfish, closed off person. A person that has wallowed in her mental illness and refuses to improve or get better. To someone that has become(humbly speaking)a generous person, that is open to new ideas and carefully considers which to be true to. And a person that works through her madness and insanity. What motivates me, you might ask? Feeling, looking for and having a better outlook on things and people, that's what motivates me.

Thanks for letting me share that.

Humbly submitted,

Gigi

Hugs!

my motivation for the last almost 6 months has been my girlfriend....yeah i am crazy in love and everyone out there gets sick of my "madly in love with my girlfriend posts"
but I hope everyone out there finds there perfect fit.....
it took me 31 years to see what was right there ....I didn't know her for 31 years but it took me 31 years to find her...
and well I hope no one gives up hope ...for someone is out there as dark as it sometimes seems but beth is my motivation and well not sure I truly ever had motiavtion before her...
sometimes I truly want to change and be more understanding and well less careless when I say things....because I never want to hurt her even if it is unintentional
she motivates me to want a better job and a career when I never thought past having a job...she makes me want to be the best provider in the world so she can at least be comfortable in life and know she will be taken care of and the bills will be paid.....
she is so much motivation for me daily and well as much as people get tired of reading about her...she is my interest now...she is my main topic ,she is my life....
she is my motivation and well she is my reason....
plain and simple...

sorry gigi this one made me think....have a great one,Jo

Thanks for sharing, Gigi. As many of us here have said, you are such an inspiration. It's so wonderful that you've come so far and know exactly what you want out of life now.


I wish that kind of knowledge and motivation

Thank you Ting, but motivation can come at any time and at any age. It's never too late to change, grow and learn.
