Motivational Quote - If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.

SparkPeople's Comments

What gets you excited or fired up? Does the rest of your life support what you are passionate about? It is sometimes hard to do things like your job or school if you are not passionate about them. Is there anything you can do about it? This depends on your situation. Can you find aspects of your job that you are passionate about? Or can you go out and look for another job that better meets your purpose. Whatever you do, take some time to think about what gets you fired up, then let that help you set your goals.

I agree with LEEVER, this is a very tough questions to answer. I am aging mid 40's, other then enjoy me time is enjoying time with my youngest child and my grandson. I will have to think more on this day by day as MAYBER stated.

I think this is one of the most difficult questions in life to answer....what is is that really gets me 'fired up'!! As I'm aging, 77, my body is certainly slowing down, but not my mind. I enjoy intellectual stimulation the most--reading 'good' literature, spending time with family and friends. Most of all I enjoy unscheduled time--time that is mine now to spend as I wish. Often walking with my Corgi and enjoying nature-when I'm not reading!
