It makes me think of myself: Who and what I am in this new phase of life.

It's good to let all the rubbish feelings pass and sometimes you just won't be productive until that's done.<br /><br />As to what motivates me? I ask myself a question: What is it I want? Then I ask myself another question: What am I doing right now to get that?Paul Anthony Shortthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393249001158230985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-32202740937074167202011-05-22T15:07:41.125-07:002011-05-22T15:07:41.125-07:00haha yay it is nice to meet someone who likes star...haha yay it is nice to meet someone who likes staring at people as well! I don't like talking to them but I love watching them. Fascinating creatures! I used to be a doggy person but now for some reason I'm a pussycat. Sometimes I think it is better to go off and sulk than to stay put and say things you might later regret.

I don't understand what drives certain people further than others. It's all part of our spirit I suppose and if we could understand that we'd know the answer to everything.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-71620800894294504142011-05-22T13:53:01.213-07:002011-05-22T13:53:01.213-07:00You know I think that's why I'd love to st...You know I think that's why I'd love to study archaeology one day! I like digging up and getting all the bits and pieces, laying them out and then constructing what these pieces used to be. I guess it's like people. All individuals have depth and digging deep to find that depth takes effort and time but the end result will always be surprising! :-) Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-73020826075156676822011-05-22T13:32:45.766-07:002011-05-22T13:32:45.766-07:00There's a whole self-help aisle determined on ...There's a whole self-help aisle determined on answering your questions. But i've found that tricks to motivate and psychology to analyze don't make us do or don't do anything. Just like how-to books can help my writing only so much.<br /><br />Our diversity makes us interesting. We have different world views, and different things motivate us. <br /><br />You sound like a contemplative writer today. <br /><br />P.S.
