What motivates you?

Fortunately Imperfect the iPad helps me out . My spelling is not as good as it used to be, too many gadgets!

Ooer LadyGracie and oh dear - teacher / spelling mistake!

A compère with a sweaty top lip and hot sweaty hands .........

Forgot to add my desire for world peace Imperfect27

Nice thread (for a change) though.

For motivators you could also read drivers/ positive energisers / what makes us want to respond in life ...

Didn't mean this to sound priggish / virtuous - I just found it interesting to have to think it through for myself.

I am motivated mainly by my desire to look after my family. I am generous with my time and happy to share anything I have.

Feels like I am being interviewed for Miss World

although with this ugly mug I wouldn't have got through the first heats

I am motivated by my family and the weather.

My values are the 10 commandments taught to me as a young child by my father.
I am not a practising Christian but I suppose something that has been instilled from such a young age sticks.

My OH motivates me, I'm lazy by nature, give me a book or some knitting and I'm happy. But if he's busy say gardening, I'm out there.

My core values are similar to all that others have mentioned too.

I agree with N&G for me core values and motivation are different things. Basically I'm not a motovated person and never have been. I've always just rolled along letting it happen.
My core values are all that others have mentioned.

I have no idea what motivates me either; before I retired it was just to be the best I could be at whatever I did and I hoped that my children would embrace the same philosophy. As for core values, they are what my father instilled into me, and I have tried to instil into my children:
Love of country,
Loyalty,
Compassion,
Integrity,
Respect for others.

I think there can be a difference between core values and what motivates you.

I think core values are the tenets you live by such as kindness, respect but things that motivate you can be quite different.

When I was still working I would have said my motivators included recognition , power, knowledge etc but I wouldn't say any of those things are my core values.

I think my core value could be summed up by the title of an old Enid Blyton book ' Mrs Do as you would be done by'.

Great question OP>

Am I peculiar, shallow or dim? (No need to answer).

I don't really understand the question.

I have no idea what motivates me - I have never thought about it. I just am and do!

I look forward to other people's answers.
