What Inspires/Motivates YOU to do what you do everyday?

Somehow my motivation for everything can be traced back to beer and sex. If I couldn’t buy beer with a portion of my paycheck I would probably live in a tent and eat berries. If girls would hook up with a dude that lived in a tent and ate berries I wouldn’t need to work.

HA ha ha ha!!!!

Hunger.

My motiviation is my mother, and not in the good way. We’ve all had our share of broken relationships but mine with hers was the worst. It was because of her that I am the way I am though. So CARING and giving. So driven to make it. It was because of her that I didn’t graduate high school crazy I know, but true, but I eventually got my diploma with no help from her. She never believed in me, and always said I wouldn’t amount to anything, which is why I know I can. I have 3 siblings and she never did any of this to them, I mean hell my brother is 17 driving a navi.
Also love. I have a big heart and a lot of passion and that’s where a lot of my drive comes from. I have big dreams that I know I can reach if I give my all. When noone else believed in me, I believed in myself.
And last BUT NOT LEAST. Music is one thing that definitely inspires me. I definitely think that has a lot to do with who I am, it’s something that will always be there, that will give me the words I need to hear when I need them
My boyfriend. Since I’ve been with him, which has only been a year. He’s done a lot for me. From helping me to not let myself get walked all over by my family, to showing me what a real relationship with real love is all about. I’ve never had that, until now. It’s like with him, I just want to be a better person. He makes me want to make all of our dreams come true, and just with a smile.

I go to school so my family will be proud of me (fourth generation to go to college), and go to work because I love to design stuff. :)

Oh, and I forgot my little brother who will be 7. He’s everything to me…

I work for my father (yay nepotism, right?).

And its gotten to a point where it’s strained our relationship pretty much past the point of no-return, but the one thing that keeps me going is long term vision we share, the hope that i will one day make him proud DESPITE the fact our approaches/methods are nothing alike. i suppose i just want to show the old man that there may be more than one way to achieve a goal.

My kids. I keep going to school to finish my degree and become a teacher so that I can take care of them. I’ll have a steady, secure job with approximately the same schedule as theirs. I get out of bed every morning and put one foot in front of the other for those three little boys.

My parents. My dad recently lost his eyesight in one eye and we cant afford surgery to make it to where he might be able to distinguish shapes or colors. Thats why i go to the gym everyday and lift weights and run so i can continue becoming a stronger and faster person to one day play in the NFL so we could get my father the surgery.

@jackfright, you’re not Paulie Teutul, are you?

@joeydesignsstuff: LOL! god no.

Definitely my husband and son who just turned one! they rock my world… I never thought I was going to get married because I didn’t believe in that but then I fell in love…

My daughter Maryjane<3

My wife and my kids. My wife hectors me into taking care of myself. My kids are just so talented and surprising and playful, and I can’t imagine not being around them.

If I was single, though, I think I’d be a corpse.

There’s also this. I’m supposed to do something really helpful to my community, or maybe my country, or maybe the world. I’m scared I won’t get to do that thing, whatever it is. Everyday, I’m thinking about what that is, and what I’ll have to do to accomplish it. I am pretty sure I would be much better off if I didn’t have this motivation.

Knowing that every morning, Nathanael is going to walk up to me in homeroom, and then ask me some really pointless and stupid question, like, ”If I was a rapper, what would my name be?” and then knowing that I can relpy, ”Nathanael, shut the hell up and go sit down.”

The weekend, the summer. My kids, making a difference and living the dream.

@aanuszek1: i laughed my ass off just now
that was actually funny
nice one

My 3 daughters. If it wasn’t for them, I’d pretty much never leave the house. Like Daloon, I have a nagging feeling that I’m meant to do more with my life, make a positive impact on the world in some way. For now, the only way I know how to do that is to raise great kids into great adults.

well the only thing i do is go to school. and i’m always battling that temptation to drop out because 1) my mother would kill me, 2) my mother dropped out and regrets it, 3) my brother would kill me, 4) i wouldn’t be in close contact with my friends as i am in school, 5) my psych teacher, 6) the future, 7) i do actually like some of my classes, 8) this gorgeous boy hahahaha i have to put in one cliche

Well what motivates me is knowing that when i go to school i’ll get to see all those lovely faces in my homeroom…to make fun of. Of course you know what i’m talking about i’m sure. Ya know i get to walk in and maybe hit nathanael, or maybe make a joke about his bo…girlfriend. Oh, and dont forget about making fun of Aaron, thats just as great. But i’d have to say if i didnt have all my friends at school to see i probably would stay in bed and sleep. Actually now that i think about it maybe its my phone that motivates me to get out of bed everyday, stupid alarm clock….
