What makes you keep going? Options

[lAzN YiN YanGl]

Whether it is sports or studying or whatever, what do you think of that makes you push for that extra 5 minutes or however long it is. I think of my best friend and how she died and I just get so mad and I just get an adrenaline boost whenever I think of that.

When i run, i think of breathing mostley, because the more you know how to breath the long you can last. And sometime`s i think of all the food i eat, and not wanting to be fat. So i have to work it off somehow.

well if you are talking about sports.. and im having a hard time doing it.. i just say to mysellf "i can do this".. but when it come to work and i get lazy i just think of my computer.. cuz if i get bad grade my computer get taken away

What keeps me going... interesting. Never really thought about it. A lot of things I guess, expectations, goals, the love of the damn game. When it comes to all other sports I just won't stay focused. But when I start playing bball there is no stopping me. Win...loser... or draw... it doesn't matter to me. I just do what I do best and thats play the damn game. I don't know what drives me to play so hard and so much, must be in my blood since most of my family has been into bball.

For guitar, I just think about my favorite bands and how I want to be just like them someday. That makes me learn more and practice more.

[yummy_delight]

when i'm swimming, i think about beating this guy who's always giving me grief about being the slowest. oh and if i'm really in pain like for a 500 or something i pray.

[someflipguy]

really broad subject. but i guess i use the reaction of my parents if i ever disappointed them.

[*salcha*]

for sports--it's the fact that i kinda want to..win. yeah. i hate letting my team down.
for studying--my future, mainly.

for sports(mostly wushu)...i think of how good i can be. i mean, ive seen how good my coach is, ive seen people my age and younger do the same things. i just tell myself that the more i practice, the closer i get to being like them

when im filming for class, or writing for something personal (script, short story, poetry, etc.), i always feel liek theres something missing. so i keep going until i find that one thing that was missing, because without it, my projects just wouldnt seem complete.
