Re: Staying motivated?

For me it is hard to be motivated. My job is physical and it tires you out both physically and mentally. I don't work a eight hour job either. Some days I get off when I am supposed to do and some days I get home as the sun sets. I own a house so I've got tons of chores to keep up with. I mow from April to November. Get up leaves from October till middle of December. The days get short on me and I don't get alot of extra time to do what I'd like. Throw in sports for my stepson and taking care of helping my mom and I don't have a ton of time to be motivated. I see guys on here who seem to have a bunch of time on their hands. But I know that's rarely the case. I don't know too many people who are into what I am so that hurts alittle too. Mostly I'm on my own so I have to do the work myself and hope to get good info from others.

But what keeps me motivated is the same thing that got me motivated almost 15 years ago I fell in love with my ole '76. It wasn't perfect and it wasn't pratical but it was right. I could drive it anywhere and do what ever I needed to. I didn't have to worry about idiots with shopping cart syndrome and what the girls thought. My truck was cool. I felt real. And all this came together one afternoon on my way to one of my jobs. I pulled up to a stop light, truck rumbling and a car pulled next to me. A little kid stuck his head out the window and smiled. I gave it alittle gas smiled back and took off. I wondered if that kid didn't have the same feeling I did? I bet.

I hate to say it but your buddy could help. At the very least throw a hand in there. But people don't always do what is right.It is easier to ask for forgiveness than do what is right. That's a big problem in our world. I've always thought we should insure the driver and not the car. That way who ever is driving is held ultimately responsible. Plus I can only drive one car at a time. Good luck.
