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?

How do you find the courage, the strength, and the drive to get to where you need to be?

From my wife.

Fortunately, my life is already good, so I haven't recently seen a need to change it for the better.

My wife and I draw strength from one another too, when we need to. It's a good thing to have someone there to help you push on.
