What Do You Live For?

[Aureity 3,055]

This is probably going to be a really tough question. But...what do you live for? What's your motivation as you go through your life?

 

For me, this quote pretty much sums it up:

 

"Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity." - Horace Mann

Inspiration is my motivation.

 

I want to change someone's life for the better,

or to just leave my mark on the world.

[Saiko 67]

I just do. I don't really see any reason or target, I just live. I try to please myself without hurting others, to learn more about the world and myself, to do all the little good things I'm able to do. I don't think I could achieve something with a big meaning, but I try to make the world a nicer place by being a good person myself.

Making others happy.

 

It can be a lonely thing, but mostly helping others be happy is it's own reward.

[Tom 890]

Try and change the world, or at least mark it.

[Chigens and Kay 3,831]

Trying to figure out what I am living for.

[Envy 5,998]

I think just being here is enough of a reason. I don't see any real chance of there being an afterlife, so I might as well just live while I have this consciousness, you know?

 

Right now I live to become a better musician, though.

[Nah 3,181]

I live to live.

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

To be quite honest, I don't have any clue why I'm here. As far as I'm concerned, I have no reason to be alive but at the same time I have no reason to kill myself either. It would make sense if someone had something to look forward to, but in my point of view I've got nothing.

As I've said before, I plan to be a politician, and to try to push the world more towards peace and tolerance.

[Strong Hooves 289]

I live because I was blessed enough to have this life... I live life to the fullest because I know there is a chance that every time I go to sleep, there is a chance that I wont wake up again.

[Trixies Apprentice L 489]

I live to have fun and succed in places I can Life exist to have fun with it and pass time to the fullest

Well, i would like to write. Novels, script, epics, music, whatever. just write. But I cant focus on one thing at a time and keep having ideas and never finish anything, so i have a buttload of incomplete writings and even more still in my brain, yet to be written down.

 

So that's what i live for. I hope to one day to positively effect the world through writing.

Fear.

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

trying to be a good person towards everyone i meet until proven otherwise. i value others lives before mine.

 

trying to become an artist, more specifically musician. it's what i want to do the most in my life, but i don't live with the aspiration to make it and sell it. that would put too much pressure on what i do, and i despise pressure.

 

and trying to be accepting towards everything until proven otherwise. i like more than i don't.

Becoming a doctor. Trying to help already accomplished doctors in the wonderful and enigmatic world of biology.

[Halfblood 364]

Wow, this is a really good question. I never actually had to sit for a moment and think about this.

 

I live for my family and friends, the people I love the most. I live to complete my hopes and dreams, to see and discover the world as it is, as it was, and what it may be in the future.

[FIMChangedmylife72 58]

I want to live to be kind and show love. I also choose to never ever drink alcohol or smoke in my life. I want to live a healthy life. I also live to help others with any problem they have. My ambition in life is to be a Sci Fi writer.

[Page.Turner 940]

I live selfishly. I live only to be remembered when I die.

[Finesthour 7,284]

I live to make others happy, and maybe one day someone will love me back.

[Shadow Stallion 435]

maybe one day someone will love me back.

 

But you know we all love you

[Finesthour 7,284]

But you know we all love you

 

You know exactly what I mean by love.

[Apple Bloom 2,915]

My general goal in life is to be happy. That's what I live for. I take each day as it comes and make the best of it.

 

For those who say they live to make others happy, well, that's me too but making others happy, in return, makes me happy. So that's what it all comes down to for me.
