Do "you" keep yourself busy or does "life" keep you busy?

Food. Sex. Providing for my loved ones and not letting them down, including my friends.

Working hard so I have the time to play sports and video games when I want. In the end, the only drive is PASSION. If you don't care about anything, you won't be driven to do anything.

Find something that you interests you, and get deeper and deeper into it. Get better and better at it. Make it your "thing."

I don't know how old you are, but it's never too late or too early to get into something. If there's a will, there's a way; If you want to start playing tennis, get a tennis racket and a ball--start hitting it against walls until you find someone to play with. If you want to get good at painting, get a sketchpad and a set of drawing pens, pencils, whatever you want to draw with.

Even if you just read one book on one subject, you are more knowledgable than 95% of anyone else on that topic. Buy a beginners book on painting or ping pong, pool, tennis, volleyball, knife throwing, gymnastics, ANYTHING you want..and just start practicing. If you like it, good, if not, try something else.

If you're young and can't buy your own books from amazon.com or something, then just ask your parents. It might seem expensive to you, but I'm sure they'd fork out $40 or so for a nice book on a subject that could spark passion into you.

I get up because if I don't I won't earn income to survive. I also get up because I learned the hard way that you have to take care of yourself to be happy. I get up for those 2 reasons each and every day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
