Which of these is your biggest driving force in life?

Question

Doesn’t really fit with any of those , I’ve never looked at life for how much I can get out of it or how much I should put into it , clearly you only get out what you put in. I had an ugly start to life and like many some considerable challenges along the way. I try to balance getting what I need and want out of life with just enjoying it and being present. to live in the moments. The more you push and pull and jostle for your “position” in this world the more it just passes you by. Working for promotion , for more money , for a better car , for a bigger house. Lots of friends for lots of good times , lots of holidays , blah blah blah. Does this really add value to your life? At the age I am I’ve got more than what I need and virtually all that I want but have realized that most of what makes me happy after having a roof over my head , clothes on my back and food on my table is that I have inner peace and that I am needed and wanted.

I guess a career but honestly that doesn't totally apply either. I don't really want to advance into leadership positions. Sometimes I think about running my own workshop, but I have seen how my dad struggles with running his own business so I don't want to deal with that responsibility especially with clients not paying regularly.

I used to want a big family but then changed my mind to go child free so that doesn't apply, I don't care for being rich as I just want to make enough to support myself and some hobbies, and own maybe 10-20 acres of land.

A relationship would be cool but also I often feel content about remaining single.

All I really want out of life is having my own peace and quiet and experiencing lots of things.

Of these, creating art. Creating something that connects, binds, reminds us of our shared humanity, and moves people.
And to a lesser extent, conveys a small segment of my innermost thoughts and beliefs about life and the world.

Helping the world and my family through my career path — which is what I do. (So world prioritized, but it would only happen by building on my professional and personal strengths.)

FatNeville · Answer

My greatest (perhaps only) satisfaction comes from trying to help people. It's such a joy when I actually succeed. I try not to be one of those people-pleasers, but making a positive difference in someone's life is what keeps me from calling it quits from the game of life. Often I feel like I try so hard to help and I fail miserably. But sometimes people say that I'm the reason that they've started smiling more, and that's one of the best feelings in the world.

Not sure that I have much of a driving force. I’m just existing, lol. I’m hoping that soon my driving force will be family though, my baby is due anyday now.
