Chris Writing Anything

How’s it going? Today, as I think back to yesterday, when I celebrated my fiftieth birthday, anyways, even as I age, I’m still fairly energetic, so, now, I’m going to enlighten you on my inner energy. More specifically, I’ve been asked to write a post on things that create a spark within me. So, in this post, I’ll detail my personal motivators.

First off, and maybe I shouldn’t, but I’ll lead off with this, it’s a profound revelation even if I sound like a dirty old man. Here it goes: when I see a pretty woman’s smiling face, that female has the power to both soothe and energize at the same time…and I really hate to admit it.

Secondly, running and mountain biking smooths the rough emotions, and it also alters my body chemistry. Those acts are so powerful, instead of feeling spent, I feel ready to tackle a cliff.

Third, seeing my mother, father, sisters…well, anyone I call family, aunts, uncles, cousins, it doesn’t matter, when I see them, there’s a sense of gaining firm footing. Being both a literal and metaphorical statement, my family is my foundation. When I set my feet upon that solid ground, my life’s pursuits feel more relevant and justified.

Good fortune also energizes me. Heck, when you believe anything is possible, you feel pushed to try for more. I guess you could say, yes, confidence propels me through the mire.

So, those are a few things that get my motor started. Even at this advanced age, with these universal human spirit spurs, the engine can still hum like a well oiled machine…

Have an Excellent Day!
