What keeps you moving forward?

[Abisashi]

Inertia

You're my Hero.

Me. I worked out a long time ago that it didn't make sense to count on things outside myself for mental and emotional sustenance, since they are often transient and beyond my control. The one thing in my life that I know will always be there is myself, so I made myself exactly the kind of person I think I should be. So what gives me sustenance and makes every day a joy for me is the knowledge that I will spend it being who I want to be, doing what I want to do, and existing in a world which is fascinating and challenging, if only because I make it so. Yes, it actually IS all about me

Sounds cheesy, but in truth, my kids.

Life drives me. I wake in the morning. I live, sleep, eat, do all the things that life requires. Very few times in life have I ever thought that I needed an external force to move me through life (which is what I understand your question to really be).

As someone once said- "life happens, be here for it or don't."

I'd say right now, I'm not moving forward; I'm in a reflective holding pattern.

While I'm still on depression medicine, I don't feel bad; rather, I feel peaceful and calm and look forward to seeing my Grandson (Caleb) every day. But I lack the set-the-world-on-fire ambition I used to have. I'm not eager to take on the world just world yet.

It's hard to explain. I don't just sit around doing nothing. I seize the day for things that used to miss...sunrises, cool rains, taking Caleb to the park, etc.

I don't know, maybe that is moving forward in a slow way.

I wish I could say other people. The reality is the daily grind; I seen the sunrise today, might as well see it tomorrow.

We're living things. That's what we do. It is in the deisgn specs, down in your bones, down in your very genes.

You're my Hero.

I only later thought that 'Inertia' could be attributed to me being flip, as if I were replying to what keeps a body in motion unless something else stops it. No, I meant that I did what I did yesterday, so I might as well do it again. I don't really have a lot to look forward to when I bother to concentrate on it, which is why I don't do so very often. Just kind of keeping busy until it's time to die.

GenCon 06. Duh.





Ok, I'm kidding. Mostly.

For me, life is like a really interesting book. I just can't wait to find out what happens next! And for that you gotta turn the page.

What keeps me going? Beer. And plenty of it.

Beyond that, my friends and family, and my fiancee. Beer helps alot though!

What keeps me going? Beer. And plenty of it.

For me, I think of beer as the oil in my engine rather than the gas. It doesn't supply the power but it does help lubricate things to keep down the wear and tear.

And sometimes it leaves a puddle in my driveway.
