My wife and my two little girls...everything else is secondary...

I struggle, and I mean really struggle with this very question lately. I can't seem to come up with a satisfactory answer. Besides needing to work to pay bills, I don't have a strong desire to get up and face the world each day. I'm hoping this phase will have an end to it soon.

I was told I had "two years, if you're lucky" left to live.
That was almost ten years ago.
My false advertising/breach of contract lawsuit isn't settled yet.
?

Practicing to make babies.

Overall I am motivated to better myself and others through education and emotional bonding, but the what drives me the most is helping others.

To provide a good living for my family and enjoy what life I have left on this planet as I’m not under any delusion that I’m going to a better place when my life is over.

As someone who struggles with self worth from a difficult childhood, I long ago decided to live, not for myself, but to be there for others. While my self image is much improved, I still find that to be a reasonable reason to exist. I think we need to expand our compassion, as a race, if we hope to survive long term.

Learning, interacting with people, Helping others, enjoying the Geezer Guys once a week, time with my wonderful family, a long brisk walk. A purpose is to save our enviornment.

Fear. Fear that I'll fall behind on bills, my children will starve, etc.

Sometimes sheer bloody-mindedness. But sometimes just curiosity and delight in the small things.

In reverse: i don't have a purpose in life, i just am; i don't always move forward and; joy and sorrow, love and anger, injustice and creativity motivate me. ?

I like to discover something new every day, whether about the world or myself.

The desire to paint a great work of art.

Life is short, so enjoy it while you are in good spirits and physiclally able to. After 22 yrs in the Army, 3 in the Sheriffs Dept and 20 in the Post Office, I retired. Mentally is the biggest thing for most people. I still get up early and practice Tai Chi, Yoga or do 45 minutes on the eliptical to start the day. Which ever one I do helps start the day.

The people i love motivate me, the fact that i live in a country without war, famine or extreme poverty, the fact that i have the ability to help others. My purpose is to find truth and live by truth.

Keeping alive

I really have zero motivation. I do what I got to do but I can't say I feel motivated in a positive manner. I normally am motivated out of fear. Generally speaking, I think there's a lot of people who feel the way I do. I work to keep food on the table and a roof over my head.
I have slight motivation to return to a normal way of life pre surgery days. When hiking wasn't so painful. I would like for my granddaughter to experience the beauty of nature in the unbeaten path.

I am motivated to see and be in Nature and experience my time and energy. There are lots of things I want to do before I transition, so I am busy planning and doing the things I will do again and planning things I haven't done yet. My list of hobbies keeps growing because I keep seeing things to do. For example, rock painting; why on EARTH would anybody paint rocks, well Im gonna find out for me. It is simply the experience. Might make for a good story later on ?
As for my purpose, I don't know why I have life here and I may never know. The reason I am here is one of my father's sperm met my mom's egg and that is FACT. haha

I hope to outlive my cat so she won't be orphaned and pay off the $15k or so I still owe my house

Curiosity. Approaching every day with the possibility of seeing or experiencing something new, or in a new way.

Not sure to be honest

Tryin' to get my kids through college without them taking on debt. Then the wife and I will take 5-10 years to shore up finances and hope to RE-tire.

Helping people see their own worth and strengths. Showing compassion and interest in youth who don't have the best role models.

What motivates me is the desire not to be dead. That could change. Playing music is keeping me going day to day. No purpose, I'm just here.

There are many things. Work, house, yard, hobbies, grandkids, my daughter, friends, riding my Harley, camping, my music. So much. Guess I really don't think about it a lot, it just comes natural. Being healthy is important so I try to stay active the best I can.
