Everyday we getup hurrily,hav our breakfast and go to work and do everything mechanically.sometimes we get bored and exhausted.we take up a holiday once in a while and refresh ourselves but there are few things which we do often that keeps us going.it may be anything..for someone its sports like soccer or cricket, for some its news and updates for some it addiction of cigars or something, for some its family which keeps them going.we all live for a purpose or in other words we all create some liking and live for it.
for me, its my parents who keeps me going.I live for them, i take good care of them.once I am married the circle would become big.there are other things which i do often to keep me going...like listening to music,callingup to my friends and have a get together once in a while,visit a temple which very far from my place to worhship and enjoy the travel..traveling one of my favourite hobbies.
So what keeps you going?.....

When it comes to such a question, different people may have different ideas, such as wealth, right, education and so on.
But for me, enjoying a better life may be the right answer to your question. Yes, everyday, when I get up in the morning have breakfast as quickly as possible, then I will devote myself to the work of the whole new day. I work hard through my own efforts all the time, in total, what I want to do is just to enjoy a better life, which is my key objective of my whole life.
Of course, in order to enjoy a better life, I may need to get rich, to have more rights to enjoy time, to own my house. But in total, I need a better life.

my son keeps me going. knowing that he needs me and he relies on me is what gets me out of bed each and every day no matter how hard i know the day ahead will be. today is a very hard day for me with many responsibilites and not enough time or energy in the day to complete them all so i am stressing a bit. but he needed me to be old, reliable mommy so here i am doing what needs to be done just like always and i will until the day i die.

What keeps me going, I have a couple of dreams that I want to accomplish in life. Being a long-devoted Manchester United fan, my dream was to save enough money to go and watch the Red Wars Manutd Vs Liverpool clash. I sure wish I can earn enough money to go there in a year, but finding money is hard and even with a full time job there are lots of expenses. Other than that my family and probably my girlfriend keeps me motivated. I always think to the future but I also do the best I can in each present event.

Every night when i go to bed i feel that i dont like any thing in life but sleeping. but next day in the mornig when i wake up i feel enegetic automatically to complete my remaining tasks. i am a house wife, mother of two kids. they keep me very busy but completion of my education is my task in life in addition to my family. So these days the search for online degrees keeps me busy, and also my kids and husband. A lot of other things also i have to do like watching tv, traveling with family and keeping my home clean and organized. I love all this and it gives me energy everyday to keep me going on.

Hmmm....life in itself is so complicated and making a living is much more difficult these days. I wish I can sit back and listen to good music everyday without burdening my thoughts of where my next meal come from. The very thing that keeps me going is the thought of my two adopted daughters who are still young and needs me to guide them, to see them successful in life. I have successful groom my two biological sons to be successful boys and my immediate concern now is to see my two girls following their footsteps to climb the ladder of success. They keep me going as I have committed to their welfare. I am glad I did as they keep my sanity intact when my two sons left the nest to work in different town.

lucky i dont wake up early, for i work at nights. i am a bassist in a band and i guess its not a boring work. but sometimes when the night is slow we tend to feel bored. i m married for seven years now with a wonderful lady, we have a three year old son and that keeps me going.being in the entertainment work is not easy too for there are a lot of bands out there younger and looks better har har har. but my wife and my son is my life they are like energy drinks like gatorade for me. they are my energizer batteries.
