What Is An Engine?

What drives you?

What makes you realize suddenly that something in your life needs to happen, and so you do it?

Is it friends? Is it family? Or maybe it's just that you're an extremely productive person, always on top of the game?

For me, it's realization. I almost always have to go through some kind of mental hurdle, and realize "Yes, I need to change this behavior." It's just, sort of, a mental pep-talk that helps me look at my life and alter my behavior in such a way as to lead to a better life.

So, what do you do, when you realize something has to change to make your life better? Do you hem and haw? Or do you get right on it? How do you find the courage, the strength, and the drive to get to where you need to be?

Honestly, I usually have to have it pointed out to me.

I'm sort of oblivious and lost in my own head, most of the time. After that I hem and haw for a short time. How long I procrastinate depends upon how big of a change needs to be made.

It's good to know yourself enough to know that you're lost in your own head.

I think we all have things that need to be pointed out to us from time to time, and that's why interaction with others is so important for most people.
