>>> What drives a person..

... like myself and keeps him on the path?

My time on this earth has taught me a few things that I should've known instinctively before. But, like all things, it takes a while for someone to wrap their minds around certain concepts. Like what, you ask? I'll let you in on it...

Family is probably the only permanent ideal that a man can live for. Sacrifice is part and parcel of the compromise that this entails. And you can never really choose your family, it just chooses you.

Friends are the ones that keep a man sane and grounded. Without them, he will flounder and drown. However, he must have the right kind of friends, ones that will always be there to support and aid him without leading him down the wrong path. Honour those that walk the way by your side.

Duty can drive a man up the wall and into despair yet we can never let it drop to the wayside. It is always something you must perform, regardless of circumstance.

Love is fleeting and yet it's a never ending search. And even when found, it becomes a battle to hold on to it; yet, it's freely given and something that should be treasured.

Time changes all things, allows a man to develop, evolve and progress. But it's never easy.

In short, these are the things that drive me and give me my ethos of "Family Before Self, Blood Above All" and "Love, Duty, Honour, Sacrifice".

What drives you?

What does your life exemplify?

Only your true self can answer that.

So, don't ever cease your inner search.

Have a good night.
