Strongest Motivating Force in Your Life

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Poll question: Strongest Motivating Force in Your Life

[LadyoftheRabbits]

1. I'm part Jewish

I have a lot of love, but a whole lot of the other, too. :P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. you are too young to have guilt!!

You are exempt...I declare it so. :D :hug: :hi:

[fizzgig]

36. aaaahhhhh, good old jew guilt

i joke that the only way i could have more guilt is if mom had been a practicing catholic ;)

[enigmatic]

2. Love

If Guilt is tthe strongest motivating force in your life you're not living, you're suffering, IMO.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. Yes, I feel sorry for them. n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. I wish I had posted options for men and women...

I wonder how it breaks down gener-wise.

[pitohui]

5. i would say it's beauty

if there's one motivator that gets me out of bed and on the road traveling and experiencing it is the pursuit of beauty

esp. natural beauty

guilt does not motivate me and guilt trippers do not get my time or attention

[In_The_Wind]

6. Love ~

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. Hello Joani ~

[In_The_Wind]

12. and ~ what if I like it better when I don't laugh?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. so cute

:loveya::hug::loveya:

[Bossy Monkey]

7. Inertia, apparently n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Yeah...that is an option

I understand that one :D :hi:

[skygazer]

10. Sheer stubborn strength of will

Some days it's all I've got.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. that is what finally overcomes my

inertia :D :hi:

[coyotespaw]

13. Hell, if I were any more guilt motivated,

I'd be wearing red and blue tights with web patterns on them.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. yes, I actually think that guilt plays a larger role in a man's life

I wish I had done this poll differently now.

[coyotespaw]

23. Why do you say that guilt plays a larger role

in a man's life? I've got an idea or two of why it may seem that way, but I'm curious about why you said that.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. personal experience.

although it does motivate women. I have seen it more in men.

[tigereye]

17. desire for justice?

maybe hope that things will improve.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. is that on a personal level ? n/t

[tigereye]

19. yes, I would say so.

[Chan790]

24. +1

That was my answer in my head as I clicked into this thread.

[LeftyMom]

20. Hunger.

I think maybe I should go to the grocery store.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. Nice post, Kitchenwitch--

:D :hi:

[BlueIris]

22. That would be LOVE, thank you (for those who had doubts). nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. Dear Blue...

Doubts? Not me. :hug:

[flvegan]

25. A 50/50 or yin/yang mix of love and spite.

I find spite to be incredibly motivational.

That'll probably be an unpopular thing to say.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. Honesty --

I like it :D :hi:

I have to fight it myself...(the spite Motivator). I don't always win.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Fear

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. Oedi --

:hug:

[Lucian]

27. The hope that tomorrow won't suck.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

32. It is a good day

if it doesn't suck :D :hi:

[Lucian]

33. It's a good day for me...

if it just slightly sucks.

:hi:

[datasuspect]

34. satan

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. Do I hear the sound of Beelzebub's Laughter

[mainegreen]

35. The electrical wires attached to my nipples.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

39. Liar

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My dear Tuesday Afternoon...

Love is the strongest motivating force in my life!

Love of my husband, my children, my dear friends!

Love is the reason I write...

:loveya:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

41. Yes, I can believe that

no doubt about your intentions. You are a most gracious person. :hug:

[Sabriel]

40. Where's "food"?

I'd vote for that.

I hate to say it, but I don't do a lot out of pure love, and I rarely feel "guilty."

[Tuesday Afternoon]

42. Hunger is indeed a very strong motivator --

This poll is skewed :D :hi:

[BeachBaby]

43. It used to be love.

But I'm finding that it's not getting me anyplace that's good - not in the end, anyway.

People who manipulate seem to be the most successful at life, but I can't see myself doing that, either.

Your guess as is good as mine. :shrug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

44. hmmm...

you are in a reflection phase ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxStBMw8PM0

The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes

The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh how they fill my eyes

Oh my sorrows
Sad tomorrows
Take me back to my own home

Oh my crying (Oh my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back
To my own home

I'm changing, arranging,
I'm changing,
I'm changing everything
Everything around me

The world is
A bad place
A bad place
A terrible place to live
Oh but I don't wanna die ...

[BeachBaby]

45. More of a watershed moment, I think.

Love doesn't conquer all.
Love doesn't necessarily make a person brave.
Love isn't what it's necessarily all about.

Personal agendas and self-absorption, on the other hand, seem to be the focus these days.

Thanks for the song, chickie. :hug:

46. its alllll about MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! --
