New to You....

this is my first blog...Welcome to the 21st century. I guess that is just me. Always have my head in clouds. I decided to start up because of my insane desire to write. Been doing so since I was a kid but never got into it seriously. A few friends have commented favorably on my long winded philosophical ideals that I post to their various sites so I thought why not??? I am very interested in life, behavior, thoughts, and just basically the general process of the world around me. I am in constant awe of the magnitude of attitude and perception and thought it best to think openly with others on this topic (which incidentally is so general- could basically just abut include anything anyone perceives to be important enough to discuss.) Lately I am mainly interested in understanding motivation. What motivates us to work, love, rear our children (or not?) What is, and where does the eternal drive for existence come from? Is it ingrained genetically or is is learned? Does it fluctuate for everyone or do those who we see as "super humans" have this never ending will to...well, just to do?!How is it that one human who has been put under such horrific strains of let's say major childhood trauma/abuse have the will to go on and yet another doesn't? I bet there are many answers for such a question and it is my belief they will all carry a great deal from our own personal experience. What then makes a correct answer? I am eager to learn and live not just through my eyes, but through those of others. I know my story..and will share much at later intervals. What is your take on motivation...what makes you get up in the morning, day after day?
