Day 03

"The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man"
~Thomas Carlyle


What drives us ?

Money? Passion? Ambition? Needs? Wants? Poverty?

On the contrary, many other pple i met in my mere 30 years of existence shows me their drive are made of fears, guilt, resentment, anger, materialism as well as a need for approval.

I remember myself as a young boy constantly on the seek for approval from my family, from my frenz and from my loved ones. i remember bringing home a basketball trophy once, only to be slighted for a brother's pending marriage... this gave raise to resentment, i totally changed to a different person.. tinking that doing bad things will only get their attention.. well notoriety and fame were only separated by a thin grey line. i got more anger from the family and i got more resentment in me.. it just lays on thicker and thicker.. along the years.. the materialism sets in, i start dissipating the resentment thru flagrant spending.. *cut the long story short*

i realised that the search for that inner peace is often asking yourself what drives u to work everyday ? what drives you to wake up in the morning ? what drives you to stay awake and alert thru this dreary world.

There must be sumtin... ...
