What Drives Me?

What Drives Me? For starters, I'm about making my own way in life with(our) support. As I formulate my vision, I take everything into consideration: Obstacles, strategy, support system, etc. Unless you're well-connected, there's no way you'll NOT encounter obstacles on your road to success. The only way is to learn from others mistakes, but even that's no guarantee. Come what may, I will get where I need to be because I've got the motivation and God. With God on my side, all I do is win. From time to time, cable networks will show biographies of influential people. Hearing their testimonies of how they've overcome unspeakable tragedy to become successful, shoots synapses of motivation into me and that's what drives me. If they can do it, what's my excuse? Take suicide for example: I'm driven NOT to commit suicide because I think about my loved ones reaction: How would THEY feel? My nieces love me to death. They're always asking about their uncle, so I have to think of them in the moves I make. Understand this, suicide will not be an option for me because I have extreme mental toughness. I can go through something, and won't stop until I minimize the issue or destroy it altogether. Another one: Financial Independence. I'm motivated by financial independence because I look at some people in so much debt, that I don't want to end up like them. I want to be able to have freedom to do this & that with no worries of how I will afford it. That's the beauty of being debt free; your pay goes into savings or you can ball every pay period. What also drives me is having one life to live: I only get one shot in life, so I have to make the most of every day. I don't want to be on my deathbed with any regrets. I want to go out in style knowing I've touched the lives of those God sent to me. Anything & anyone who doesn't enrich my life is gone, no questions asked. Some people are scared to cut people loose who don't fit their vision. They figure because I've known them all my life; they get a free pass. That may be true for some men (and with me to an extent), but not me. I see my life as VIP, where only privileged people are granted access. That empowers me because I have the right to disqualify people from being in my life if they don't enrich me. I understand others' right to do the same with me (as I should). Why should anyone want to keep me around if I'm not a benefit to them? That's crazy. I'm driven by many factors, but I felt like sharing my top 3.
