We had similar experiences - In that i was hopeless at things that did't interest me.
But as soon as "I found my bliss" as Joseph Campbell would say - I was obsessed.

And one can find drive in joining with others for a common goal!

I also came to my drive much later in life.
Now I don't want to waste a minute.
"Put me in coach," but not when you're flying!

a perfect blog for a perfect day capped by my son's successful drive through the academic phase of of his life - TODAY!

You can call UBER. They are always looking for drivers.

Fred said "Something that can make a defining difference in one's life is drive."

I believe that, more often than not, people get drive from a defining moment. Usually an SEE or Significant Emotional Event as I remember from a college course I took once. My biggest SEE was when my dad passed away when I was 20 years old and finishing my junior year in college. No longer did I have that best friend, emotional confidant, cheerleader (his words). I knew from then on I had to work my ass off to achieve whatever it was that I was going to achieve. My "Drive" was forged, and as Fred says, it can fuel you for a lifetime.

Drive. It's one of those words that can be a verb or a noun. Growing up as we did, few of us had that inner urge that stimulates a vigorous onset or onward course towards a goal or objective. Sooner or later it kick's in or it doesn't. Many factors play into it. In my case it came way later. Of course we were children of the Military Draft and Viet Nam. Looking back on that and it is no wonder that any of us survived. After a tour in the Navy I wanted nothing more than to work very little and make big bucks. I became an Airline Pilot in 1968 after the Navy. By 1969 I had a daughter. Still no drive though. It was inherent that I provide a decent living and be home a lot. The airline and I socked away about 28 % of my earnings per annum for almost 40 years. Still no drive. As I approached mandatory retirement at age 60 I retired 2 years early at 58. By now I had 3 wives and 7 kids . I lived in Europe, Asia, The Florida Keys, New York and California. Still no drive. I bought a Harley. I started smoking expensive cigars. Drinking single malt scotch. I bought a gentleman's piece of property in the Redwood wilderness of The Santa Cruz Mountains. A wife, 7 kids , 4 dogs, 3 cats, 4 goats, a horse or 2.... They taught me to smell the roses( the dogs did ) Live in the moment. DRIVE ! Foot on the accelerator baby !! As I approach my 71st birthday I have the best flying job I ever could have dreamed of. The DRIVING force in my life is getting back home after a flight to the life that is finally mine. To spoon with mama as I fall asleep under the Redwoods. The DRIVE to maintain what life has offered me. In the moment. DRIVE at last !

P.S. I forgot the 30 chickens
