I can't seem to find one reason! I don't think I'm depressed again, I just don't have motivation in my life. No friends, no family members to talk to, no therapist. I don't want or need money. I feel like a walking zombie in life, with no real direction guiding me forward. I'm just walking aimlessly without a goal and then it dawned on me, that I have no idea what motivates me.

So my question is this, what motivates you in life? I figure if maybe I can see what motivates other people, something, anything might hit home.
Hi meccorad,

I recently listened to the CD's of, The Power of Now, and, A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle. The information in these books changed the way I think about motivation, and what I want to do in life. He talks about living your life in the moment and finding peace in doing this.

Eckhart Tolle wrote, The Power of Now, first and it goes into more detail; if you are interested.

I went to the Amen Clinic in Newport Beach, California in March of 2010. I am not well yet, but I am making good progress.
