Answer 2

What motivates me (in no particular order) - Art, women, the unknown, the act of learning something new (when that lightbulb goes off), the act of teaching, talking to people that have different points of view than mine.

My purpose - Lilfe is so complex that answering this part of the question with a short and concise answer would be arrogant, but here it goes...

It depends what avenue you're talking about. On a grand scale of things I may not have fulfilled my purpose yet. I may be here to push someone in the right direction in life later down the road. Maybe I save someone's life that finds the cure for cancer. Who knows...On a smaller scale I view my purpose as helping people I come into contact with. Maybe opening someone's eyes to a new way of thinking. I tend to enjoy the smaller things in life and view that as important factor that needs to be considered in asking this question. A large part of me likes to think that all good things come in due time.

Maybe I will never find out my purpose in this life, but I am going to do my best to search for the meaning. Just remember that along the journey adversity will rear it's ugly head and only the strong willed will survive.

P.S. - My responses to the above I feel strongly about and yes it took me a minute to finds the words to express these thoughts, but time nor man does not hold me back from free thinking.

What motivates me: Fear of failure. Fear of not leaving some mark behind that shows, I existed. .A well-written book which is engaging, uplifting, enlightening, insightful, tragic, motivates me. Other people's success motivates me. A character who I identify with and respect from a book, tv show, movie, motivates me. An actor whose acting is soooo outstanding that you say to yourself, "he's been there...he knows what it is to despair, lose hope, live a tragic life, suffer a great loss." Belief in my ability to accomplish whatever endeavor I set my sights on motivates me. And finally, not wanting to squander or waste my God given talents and abilities, but to put them to good use, and in doing so, help my fellow man/woman in their pursuit of peace and happiness.
