Try to find at least one more that resonates with you.<br /><br />Despite what you've said about athiesm being motivating, I'm convinced that a more eternal perspective has greater potential for generating motivation. It, at least, adds more weight to those last two factors in the list above. <br /><br />I'm about to make a sweeping generatization here, but I get the impression that those who consciously adapt atheism have a pessimism overshadowing everything that they do (especially if they once held a religious/spiritual view), that isn't helpful for motivation. Any motivation they have seems to be self-focused. <br /><br />If you can somehow get a motive that extends beyond yourself, that is bigger than yourself, and is constructive... then it's likely that your motivation will be stronger and more satisfying.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372361481615373767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878685767200870137.post-75708124125776524682011-03-02T21:22:19.634+10:002011-03-02T21:22:19.634+10:00my why is i want to choose my own destiny instead ...my why is i want to choose my own destiny instead of marching with the herd toward a shallow grave that will be quickly forgotten.

The film just reminded you. So the question for yourself is. "what will it take to not forget?"
