Part 3 – FEELING DRIVEN

“We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.” ~ William Glasser

Feeling driven is like having a steady flame within that ignites our ambitions and propels us towards remarkable achievements. It's a powerful force that surges through us, infusing each step with purpose and determination. With this energy, challenges become opportunities, and obstacles become stepping stones. The desire to accomplish great things becomes an unwavering compass, guiding us through the labyrinth of possibilities. This drive is what fuels late nights and early mornings, pushing us beyond comfort zones and into the realm of innovation. It's a beacon of potential that reminds us that our potential knows no bounds, as long as we cultivate and nurture the fire of determination that resides within us.
