What Motivates Me in Life
“Her dignity consists in being unknown to the world; her glory is in the esteem of her husband; her pleasures in the happiness of her family.” - Jean Rousseau Jean Rousseau captures my sentiments with this quote. When asked to write a paper about what motivates me most in life, I can honestly say that one of the first things that popped into my mind was writing about being a mother and a wife. Many people would say, that being a mother and a wife isn’t a great motivating factor, but I would beg to differ with them because being a wife and a mother is what I am first and foremost is and what I would rather be than anything in this world. I find that more than any of the jobs I have held, this is the job I have made a lifelong career of and the one I enjoy most. I am a mother of two little boys and when I say that they are a handful, believe me that is an understatement. My 10 year old son is very intelligent and at the same time very active; and of course you know my 4 month old son is a handful and a half.
