What Gives Your Life Meaning?

[viking1]

Take risks viking1, take risks.

What sort of risks? Jump out of a plane? With no parachute...maybe?

No...sometimes it's just a risk to plan to live through another day, but DO IT!

Go beyond your comfort zone. Take just one of the things that you think you can't do and have and make it happen. Doesn't have to be a big thing, start with a smaller one.

The only thing you need to conquer to do it is yourself.

It won't happen overnight. Just take a single step and see what happens.

What gets me up every morning?
It sounds really overused. Love. I wake up every morning knowing that there is someone waiting for me. After the scares that we have been through, I wake up every morning thanking God that I'm still here and that my fiancee is still here and that we can share our lives together.

What motivates me
I motivate myself. Life motivates me (if that makes sense)

What prevents me from having an existential crisis?
My fiancee.
And this prayer that I say every morning and every night.

God grant me the serentity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][/FONT]

I haven't really discovered a meaning for my life yet. Maybe it doesn't have one or maybe it has more than one...

What gives my life meaning?...hmm...Brain cancer at age 16 jumpstarted the fact that i realized i was here for more than something small... I began to lose all focus on myself and realized the world didnt revolve around me and if i were to die the world is going to continue moving and it won't matter...If through what happened to me i can make a difference in another persons life... if i can encourage and motivate someone else through that... then my life has all the meaning that it needs

The answer to this set of questions is a simple three word response...family and friends. It's as simple as that. Without either, life is meaningless.

 

[TitanicJake]

What gets you up every morning?
The thought of helping people learn, reach a goal, and get stronger.
Sometimes a throbbing erection wakes me up, especially if I fall asleep in my underwear.

What motivates you?
People- My job, my brothers, my friends.
Competiton- With weights, with wrestling

What prevents you from having an existential crisis?
Not sure. I am trying to stop drinking. It is causing memory issues at times.
I also use sex as a way to not feel worry or sadness. Sex makes me feel like a God. I feel invincible and in total control of the moment when I am inside someone.
