What drives/Motivates your life?

Answer 1

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

My belief that I want every day to be better than the last and to try and make the most of life that I possibly can. I feel grateful for what I have. Sorry I'm not wording this very well, I just got released from the urgent care and got pain meds(even though it does mess up my ability to form coherent sentences at times). Live each day to the fullest!!!

All the mundanes. Friends, family, the sheer joy of accomplishment. I replaced my first light fixture, doing all the wiring and got it right the first crack out of the box. What a trip. Being able to truly appreciate all the good in my life. I've had some setbacks recently, but then I met some very special people who have helped to solve my problems. Life is good. Like I said, mundane, but mundane can be special.

The will to live.
If you meet the buddha kill the buddha, if you meet your father, kill your father.
Live your life, accomplish what befits you most, reach for the highest goal in your life.
I used to think like that. But now I take half of that and add it to...
What drives me is the ability to touch someones life and help them. Sure a little praise and thanks and a best answer only gets me riled up to help more. BUt the fact and idea that I am helping someone....well that about beats it all!
