No, this is not a moment of "omg I have no meaning in life, why me."

No. That's not who I am. I'm merely curious as to what you guys feel your meaning in life is. I love learning about meanings within people. What life means to you, and to me.

So tell me. What drives you?
 
I'm here to make revolutions, kill the presidents, and make peace, I mean, real peace.
 
I believe I'm here to serve a higher being and to kill injustice wherever it lies.
 
hmm... I am here to take over the world so I can make it better.

In all seriousness, to become the fastest long distance runner ever.
 
Right now, I do my best to make my parents proud. Also I have this mindset when I am faced with important decisions, I would like to think that.. "Would Future Jet, be proud of what you are about to do?"
 
At the moment it's hard to actually be driven at all, but when I am driven.. It's really just having fun while I'm young and then, one day, to be a mother. To raise children to be the best people they can possibly be and to make as few of the mistakes my parents made as possible. I know no-one wants to make those mistakes, but I'm honestly devoted to being a good parent, more so than just in the sense that most people are. I like to help others, to make sacrifices for them and help them along. Sometimes it makes me feel a bit left behind, but I'm utterly passionate about the idea of doing everything necessary to make my children into well-rounded, stable, happy people one day. I never had a healthy family and my goal is to create one for my children and remain married to whoever I end up with.

It used to be the feeling that all of my teachers and family members anticipated success for me because they found me intelligent, but what I've found is that happiness to some extent really is just a choice - and I'd rather be a person of substance and integrity and be happy with that than beat myself for my lack of interest in academics/being successful for the sake of it. I can somehow force myself through studies and get an impressive job but that will not bring any more happiness to my life than learning to appreciate simpler things will, in my opinion. At least not until I find something I'm passionate about and can actually study and get a job from.
 
I am driven by a desire to be the absolute best. I am afraid of failure, so I work long and hard to improve at everything. I am also driven by a desire to help people, because it is part of my nature. When I see someone struggling, I try to assist them.
 
To be better than everybody else. I think I'm doing quite well so far, judging by my username.
 
To be the most knowledgable individual in the world. No opinions, only facts.
 
Responsibilities. I have a lot of them. Be a dependable person for my best friends, just as much as I depended on them at times. Wanna be fully independent, to prove to my parents that without a proper upbringing I can stand on my own two feet just fine. Wanna hear them apologize for not supporting me when I needed it.
 
My drive is to become rich. I have all these goals set for myself, and I wanna do whatever it takes to fulfill them.
 
I am driven by a paranoid fear of being forgotten. Yes, the old sob story of "I want to be somebody". I long for the day when a complete stranger that I've never met cares about me.
 
I want to be remembered, as being the best possible person I could possibly be. And as people have said above; I wish to be the best parent I could possibly be and give my children all the opertunities I wasn't given so that they grow up to become successful and also strive to help other people and such.
 
To learn about the many interesting things the world has to offer. :)
 
I don't live my life pleasing others - truthfully, I'm too selfish for that - but if I can make someone smile, or laugh, or feel good about themselves, then I feel like I'm at the top of the world, and can accomplish anything x)
 
life means death.

Whatever drives me is what I really really like or want to do, don't care what others think unless I care about that person.

Just try and live the moment without forgetting the past and not minding the actual future but what you can do right now for a better now.
