@ kittyrogers : Pfff...Sharing ideas and thoughts about what drives other people is,to me, one way to learn and grow and to be able to be open to new ideas. :-)

These are questions that require more than a couple of sentences. Worry only about what motivates YOU, and how YOU deal with the challenges of YOUR own life. One of my motivations is money. As you age, it becomes a very important motivator, believe me.

Kindness and an ability to realize that existence if it needn't exist wouldn't be here so the fact that it is gives it meaning. Success and glory means less to me than changing things for the better.
Improvement motivates me.
I deal with life's challenges with kindness.
My life revolves around the world, nothing revolves around me, i would see that as arrogance.
Seeing change and goodness prosper makes me happy.

Good question.Sometimes I wonder what motivates me to live.
I don't know,its just I don't wanna die.What motivates me to live is life itself.I don't lead a perfect life,no,not at all,I couldn't even dare to dream to have a perfect life,but since I have it...just hope to be better.But what keeps me alive and keeps me going is love.Definitely.
with life's challenges,I deal quite easy on the surface.I mean it looks like I have no problem,even tho I am almost down.But that's another story.I just try to find a better solution,and then just rely on love once again.And what makes me happy?Everything that possibly could...

What an absolutely brilliant and stimulating question.
LIFE motivates LIVING.
LIFES challenges is LIVING.
LIFE revolves around LIFE.
LIVE makes you HAPPY.
I know that you are asking for individual thoughts and answers.
You are obviously a deep thinking and caring person.So may I ask you to please just for one minute to clear your mind.. forget about all material things and possessions and concentrate deeply on the four lines above... just for one minute...and see if it makes as much sense to you as it does to me.
Enjoy LIFE

Being the best that I can be, to achieve, to believe to know that what is given to me good or bad is for the best. That I can make positive changes and be of help to others also. Deep caring relationships give alot back. Faith, trust and love are major factors in living a peaceful life.
Once person had knowledge of a different nature and he came to a poor fishermans house. This fisherman used his fishing boat to feed his family and meet his needs, but the person with the gift of knowledge scuttled his boat. The person he was with asked why did he do such a thing. Later it was revealed to him that there was a tyrant King that took up all the boats in his land but this poor fishermans boat as it was rendered unusable, the fisherman was able to fix it later and was able to resume caring for his family. Things may look bad at the moment but Gods will is what is best for us. Trust that and remain positive in all situations you may have to ever endure. Remember we belong to him and to him we will return. So if he belong to him and he takes one of us, it is his right and trust that we will be reunited again. May peace be upon you.

I just do it, I work, I take care of my family, I can't imagine not wanting to live. Being with friends and family makes me want to go on.
