What drives you to succeed in life? Everybody has different stimuli that drives them to achieve ... or not... in life. For some people it might be money or material possessions, ie fast cars, big house, lots of pairs of shoes (!); for others it might be security, contentment, passion, job satisfaction etc etc.

However people that have no incentive to succeed, ie those who dont know what drives them or what they want, often are the ones who dont 'achieve'. If you dont know what you are looking for - how will you ever find it?

So when you are feeling down and arent sure why, think about what you want in life. What are you doing to achieve it? What could you do differently in your life to help you move one step closer? When i have a challenge or something to work towards i am a much more motivated and productive person. If i am not aiming for anything i become complacent and dissatisfied with things. So choosing a goal in life, having something to aim for can give you a real boost.

Discovering what drives you and makes you happy is the key. There is no point buying a flash car if that is not what you want, but if buying 5 pairs of sexy new shoes makes you happy...then buying those 5 pairs is going to make you more satisfied than anything that someone else might consider 'more important'.
