In this life, we all have different reason for what are are doing, Its not ideal to live for our selves only because we feel guilt and because we won't be satisfied in our life. For me, I have my family that keeps me going. When I get married, I think I will also do this for my sons and daughters because that's where I see my purpose. It makes me feel happy doing the things I have right now. :)

the one who really inspires me is me alone and my ambition. if someone have ambition or dreams in life then im sure you can do a lot of things. when i finished my 2 degree in college i did it on my own, i work by day and study at night. my parents are not able to support me coz im the youngest and they are old already so they dont have job anymore to support me in my studies, lucky are my older siblings. but since i have job it didnt discourage me of dreaming coz i know having a degree specially here in my country is the only way i can find better job and have a good life. an with my degree, no matter where i go i know thees work available for me.

hi homeshoppers, I wish someday, you will find someone that will inspire you. Being on that kind of situation, its not enough to be just inspired with our self. Its so rewarding to have someone that motivates you because it leads us to do good things for others. You will be satisfied if you have one..We don't want to live alone in this world. I don't know whats going on on your life so I dont have the right to give you the advice. But I know you have your own reasons behind it :) good luck to you :)

for me, it is the spirit of making dreams to come true and keep on surviving with all the trials in life.... sometimes life is unfair.. but we need to keep on going... to survive.

yes, I think for most of us, our family is our main inspiration. For me too, its my son that keeps me going. Whenever I go thru any bad patches, specially at office when I just feel like walking out of the job, I remember his face and my responsibilities towards him and immediately control myself. Sometimes when I am a mental wreck, I just hold on to him, give him a tight hug, chat with him and I feel OK. I think children are our greatest source of strength and inspiration to move on in life.

My life is so tough, I almost give up so many times but still I have reasons to hold on to. My number one reason to keep going is my baby, I know that she is begging to live so I cant leave her alone in this world. Second is my family, though I made so many mistakes and disappointments, they are still supporting me.

Hello, I would like to think myself as a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery that takes all its electricity from sole charger, God. I have a family too, my parents. My parents always encourage me and give me all liberty in choosing my own way. I always consult with them and consider their advice in making decisions. Still I know that nobody is gonna stay with me forever, a fact that I've realized quite clearly. So no matter what comes up ahead, God will be my primary source of energy and inspiration. My soul purpose in life is to know him and follow his path of righteousness and I am quite determined to sacrifice almost anything in order to achieve that. God bless you all

Before and until now my son gives me the inspiration to go on with what I am doing. Though at times I question myself to who other people inspires me, I still believe my hubby gives me inspiration even though we are going thru a rough time right now in finances.

We must and should must know the purpose of our life. We are not born without a cause. We are here in this world,not to eat and live alone. Not even for our family and loved ones. The stages is not all about education and work and make wealth. We are here with a purpose,and that is our aim...what is it and how we will know why we are here. God surely give us some purpose in this life and,it is upon us to discover about it. Am i here to help the needy?...or i am here to give hope to unfortunate ones. Whatever it is...let's follow what our heart desires,maybe,we haven't realized the real meaning of our life. Later we will know what is life for us...and what is God's purpose for our existence.

hi! my motivations are mainly god, me and my family. i am not religious but i believe that each person has a function, an instrument for god's purpose, to be able to share what i know and what i can do even in my own little way of helping others. myself, in the sense that i live for my dreams and be the best that i can be for that matter. and for my family, for their love and continuing support in me. i can be the reason but cannot be the reason alone for it will be futile to succeed in something that u can't even share with. :)

Im 19, and up to now, the most important thing that keeps me going is my father, although some difficult times he really cared about me, my studies, my future.

Of course my family especially my son who always inspires me and keeps me going though sometimes i feel so depressed because of my failures in life, but realizing that I have my family who truly loves me, I have my very responsible and loving husband, my cute and hyper son, and A god who is always willing to hear and to comfort me in times of sadness, makes me smile and makes me alive

I was inspired by my parents to reach my goal in life. They are my idol to do what I can do in my life. Though, I am not so successful to obtain what is in my dream, - to be somebody.. I am satisfied having a wife with 3 kids. Enjoying my life with them and accomplish myself in a career I have most desired.But still I am longing for to be a millionaire someday if God so permit. My desire keep me burning inside to accomplish this dream. Hope so

Before my primary inspiration was my family. But now that I have a wife, I believe it would be honest for me to say that our dreams and goals together inspires me most. I still feel driven because of my family. But the ultimate driving force in my life now is my wife. I am just so thankful to my parents who has instilled in me the right values. They have never demanded anything from me.

You are right friend, to live only for self is not satisfying. When we expand our horizon and do something for others it gives us lot of pleasure. to take care of one's family, financially, physically, emotionally, psychologically, is our duty and doing so keeps us going. Same is case with me too. But I have noticed that when we expand our horizon and try to do something for human being in the society in which we live, beyond our family it gives us more pleasure and satisfaction. Try it sometime, u will feel much better and your life may get much broader purpose.
