What inspires people in life? what is your motivation for living?

Questions just like this! ;-)

I live for pleasure! I am always looking forward to the next good thing, whether its a hug, or a holiday!

My mother inspired me is twisted way i saw how how much her life was ruined and how her choices destroyed her... she inspired me to live my life by not making the same mistaked as she did I am inspired to become abetter person then everyone expects me to cause i am related to her. my motivation is my family no one beleives in me but i do and i am going to prove to evryone that I am going to make somehting great of myself

I have no motivation, which explains why my life is a hollow and meaningless void filled with emptiness and despair. Is it still a void if it's filled with emptiness and despair?

I love life. I fill it with the love of my friends and family and my work. I see each new day as filled with opportunity and enjoy it.

I am hoping that when I meet the right person she will inspire me and motivate me.

It is a mans nature to want to provide and protect (at least it is for me). But if you have nothing to provide and protect for, you lose some motivation.

I work hard now and its only for myself. Occassionaly Ill splurge on my neices. But for the most part my brothers take care of that.

I've loved one girl in my life and I lost her to my ignorance and selfishness. I most certainly learned my lesson. That was some time ago. I cant wait for someone to inspire me like that again.


Behind every great man is a great woman

This is such a great question...

You know, people come and go and are born and die every minute of every day-- and if I died or disappeared or whatever this very second, someone would come along and take my place at work, my kids and my husband would eventually do all the same things they do now, the sun would still come up and the flowers would still bloom and the earth would still turn. Quite honestly, nothing would be any different in the universe.

Maybe this is a result of seeing way too much death and dying in my lifetime-- but life just goes on. With or without any of us. Right now, my big important purpose in life is to get my remaining 2 kids through school and out on their own, healthy and happy. After that, Who knows.

Knowing that someday I'm going to die. That little fact typically kicks my ass into "living" mode.

it sucks feeling hopeless and pathetic... i guess if u really want to make an effort to change things from the way they are, motivation might come.

JESUS CHRIST, my life without Him is nothing.His love, grace, mercy...Everything about Him, words are not enough. He gave me everything... He is all I am.

I'm thankful to be alive because without my Lord and savior Jesus Christ I wouldn't be here today. I would have lost hope. My motivation for living would be to accomplish my goals and now that I've found my purpose in life I can please God.

For one, Answerbag.com! ;-)

My little boy. If it werent for him I very VERY seriously doubt that I would be here today. He makes life worth living even when nobody else does. (I'm a single mom by FAR, with no help, so there isn't that "perfect little family" factor either.) All I need is him.

My two little girls inspire me. I want to be a better person for them. I live to see them grow. They are brilliant and articulate. They amaze me more and more each day. Every breath I take is for them.

I am inspired by nature. When you wake in the morning and take a look outside, you hear the birds singing, you see the dew drops, you smell the freshness of the earth, you hear the birds, you see the trees and every leaf, flower, and sprig of grass has drops of dew on them.

My motivation in all of that speaks to the fact that if there is someone out there who made all of this for humans to enjoy, then there is so much enjoyment one can find by taking the time out to focus on them. I tell you what, take a walk in nature and you will see how much it beckons and inspires you. You will find that there is something deep down that craves to unravel the unknown. You will just want to keep on living and loving life as it is because what you make of life is what you get. Have a wonderful inspired and fulfilling life!

Inspiration is the key to why people simply live. It has created the sense to set goals and challenges for ones' self and more importantly the drive to achieve it. Inspiration has created the sense of hopes and miracles in the hearts of people from every walks of life. Since the time we arrived from birth, our parents have inspired us to learn, explore, and discover. Then we take on the world with ambitions and dreams knowing that we follow the footsteps of our idols. Then it finally comes the time where it continues on with us leading the way to not only be responsible but to also inspire the future generation to come.

Hope inspires people in life. "Tomorrow will be a better day" motivates me for living.

The people that I love. Primarily my children, but also all of my family and friends.

God inspiers me,but my children motivate me.

To the wrong answer, I lnow exactly how you feel and I'm sorry your so lost. I can tell you though that finding God helps.
