Tom Sawyer Monday (5.28.12)

What drives you?

Happy Memorial Day Monday Warriors! Here’s hoping you have the day off and are enjoying it for what it’s worth. In the US this day is to commemorate the men and women who have lost their lives in while serving in the armed forces. It’s a time for those who continue to survive to remember those who came before to give us that chance. So what were they fighting for? Well, William Glasser has an idea.

“We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.”

I would say I agree with four out of the five as what people fight for, whether they are soldiers or civilians. We all want to survive, we all want to love and be loved, we all want freedom, and most of all we want to have fun (and maybe the power thing for some people). So today, remember what you have, what drives you, and what others have done to help you keep driving towards your goal of achieving it all.

Make sure you have fun. Always make sure you do that.

Get your week on.
