    First would be the fact that God woke me up and gave me a chance at another day. This is the beginning motivational force in my day.

    Then I do have a family who looks to me daily for support, nurturing and guidance. So, this is the second motivational factor in my life. I am a very blessed individual. Thanks for asking the question. God bless****

    Wow what a good question and i was just thinking about it today. Life seems to be hectic and not hardly worth continuing I do not have a spouse or mate my children are grown and i never see them. I am learning to accept this however. If there was a good and kind man in my life whose company that i could enjoy and we could have pleasant talks and work together for even a small amount of happiness maybe even go to sleep in each others arms at night then life would be worth living. Now to be honest i am just living until i die.I will do the best that i can but there is no real motivation.We live in a world full of people that is still so empty!

    Good question. I often wonder myself. I am a very unmotivated person really and no not have any responsibilities, other than looking after myself. What got me through years actually was the idea one day i would live in hawaii, not that everything would be perfect but that i would be in the sunshine. For some reasons i lost that silly dream and it was like the light in my soul went dim. I always was thankful that i had a dream to live for, it made life worth continueing and it made the future a goal to reach. I guess religious people think of heaven like a goal to reach so it makes life bareable. The main thing that keeps me going now is the fact that i dont know what death is, so life is better the devil i know. I hope a miracle happens though and soon because im just existing not living and we all are human beings that were put here to live not exist. We all need a dream to live for, but one that is reachable.

    1. Although I am not a happy person I am driven by my desire to protect the world's populations from the most deadly viruses. With so many unstable soviet era nations wielding samples of smallpox and worse species, I have no choice but to outsmart them and make our country a haven for human life. It is a matter of life or death for those people out there, whom I have never known, yet are beautiful to me.

    2. If I had a spouse/mate and/or children I'd have to get a less dangerous job (something other than level 5 wetlab virologist) or else they would lose me to an airborn killer. I'd have to give it up and have my wife and kids as a driving force instead.

    However, if I had a family I'd surely go about my life with more joy.

    i've got not got an certainly software - yet I nevertheless artwork out oftentimes. in my opinion, figuring out is its very own advantages - I consistently experience like crap if i are not getting to the gymnasium a minimum of two times a week. (Plus i'm finding out to purchase it, so i believe extremely undesirable if I waste it). selection up your workout consultation to maintain it from getting boring - I even tend to do a somewhat severe capability workout consultation with 30-40 5 minutes on an ellipsoidal device set on a hill point, then I carry out a little weights, ab workouts, and a brilliant variety of distinctive machines to objective different muscle mass. I even tend to apply much less weight, and rather do extra repetitions - this facilitates tone your muscle mass extremely than development them up - as quickly as you're toned, then you truly can initiate increasing weight. whilst i'm no longer figuring out - I nevertheless attempt to decide for a walk, and that i sometimes bypass on ridiculously long bicycle rides (30+ miles) to experience the burn. i'm no longer interior the terrific shape - yet each little bit facilitates.

    1. the hunger for life.

    2. the deep desire to make something of myself and wanting to succeed.

    3. the hope to look back at my life one day when i'm 80 (hopefully, i'm still alive by then) and say " wow, i can't belive i did all that with nothing but my willpower. i'm glad i didn't just sit on my *** and let my life pass me by"

    4. the fear of NOT being able to say what i said in # 3

    What keeps me going is just by remembering, that their are other people worst then me.

    At it breaks my heart to give up now, when they never gave up even a second.
