The euphoria of achievement. The promise of success.
Practically, fashion photos, healthy people, gorgeous clothes and close friendships.

What motivates me is feeling good.

Andrew Gubb · 09-27-2010, 10:28 AM

Right now, I'm motivated to make a lot of money and grow as much as possible while I'm at it. I want to make money because I have the intense desire to help people. And for my path, financial stability and freedom is the first step.

I'd obviously like to help people through my business, though often what helps people most and what makes the most money aren't the same, even if there is some overlap. I know if I had more money right now I'd spend time simply doing nothing, relaxing, meditating and working things out in my head. This would actually be what I'd most need to do to be in the best position to help people.

I also feel the strong call to travel; I sense strongly that the learning experiences I need are in other countries, most of all the third world. I may eventually be called to create a charitable organisation or work in one, I don't know.

I'm a lightworker who has come to terms with the need to help himself to help others

I think to me being positive about my own self image and then spreading the good vibes to others is very rewarding . I really enjoy using my knowledge and experience to help others.

I have a pretty good firm belief system about Life. And to me you get out of it what you put into it. It sounds cheesy but it absolutely makes sense and is true !

What motivates me is seeing anything creative. Whether it is a beautiful peice of art, an amazing athlete performing, or a funny comic I love seeing the art of creativity and something fresh and innovative.

Kurtzilla · 10-07-2010, 11:29 PM

What truly motivates me is my wife and kids. They are my inspiration in life to keep moving forward and provide them with the best.

I think the secret of motivation is to realize why you are doing things in life. I, for example, keep a picturejournal. A pic for every day of my life.

When I wake up in the morning, my goal is to to achieve, experience or see something worth taking a picture of.

Besides this motivation, it is also worth a ton when you look back at the pictures you took, makes you aware of what you do in life. In the beginning I was surprised how many things you seem to forget.

Let's live a little,

What really motives me in fact is self discovery. This sounds vague but the idea of self discovery really thrills me.
