Motivation

Over the past couple of weeks I've made some discoveries about what motivates me. I completed my first Tri last summer and swore that I would NEVER do it again. Well, I completed my second Tri in July and my third this past weekend. Why? Because I want to challenge and improve myself. What motivates me to get out of bed when the alarm sounds at 5:00 am? Do you know what motivates you? I'm not just talking about motivation for training. What motivates you to live? What motivates you to go to work? What drives you to get up in the morning and get into your car to start yet another day? The answer for me is happiness.

Happiness is helping people close to me and watching them grow and strengthen. Happiness is not defined in my mind as something you can have in your hand, but a state of complete calm that you are doing the best you can to make the small space around you pleasant.
