This is Day 10 of the 21-Day Journaling Challenge held in Nov 2011. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.
Hi everyone – Welcome to Day 10 of 21DJC! :)Yesterday’s question was: “What Drives You?“. There were so many wonderful responses by all of you. Some of you are driven by growth. Some of you are driven by the desire to make a difference. Some of you are driven by money. Some of you are driven by need for security. Some of you are driven by death – from the death of those around you to knowing you’ll die one day. Some of you are driven by the love for life. Some of you are driven by connection. Some of you are driven by the ability to serve the world.Reading Personal Excellence, you should already know what I’m driven by. I’m driven by the desire to grow and help others grow. This is my life purpose; this is my reason for being. This is why I started Personal Excellence to begin with – to serve others and help them grow. It is my wish that we will be united as one world one day, when all of us achieve our highest consciousness.There was an interesting point made by reader J, who shared a Tony Robbins theory that people are driven by pain and pleasure. While it is a valid observation, a more meaningful way to classify our motivators IMO would be (a) love-based drivers or (b) fear-based drivers.Love-based drivers refer to motivations that are rooted from a higher place, above and beyond our physical self. Examples include desire to help others in need, to make the world a better place, to seek betterment, to make a difference, to empower others, and so on. These drivers can be characterized by the way they “pull” us forward in life. People motivated by love-based drivers act out of natural desire; they do not need to be triggered, reminded, or made to act. They do it on their own accord.Fear-based drivers refer to motivations that are rooted from ego and the physical identity; they are very much centered on who we are and preservation of self. Examples include desire to prove one’s worth, to acquire material wealth as status symbols to others, to achieve a certain “place” in the society to make his/her mark, to leave a legacy before one dies, fear of death, to put others down, to get ahead in life, to prevent pain in life, and so on. These drivers are usually characterized by how they “push” us to take action. People motivated by fear-based drivers act because they have to do it; it’s driven by urgency. They often suffer from procrastination, lack of discipline, laziness, etc in some areas of their life.So what determines our drivers of motivation? It’s linked to our consciousness level. People in fear-based consciousness are primarily motivated by fear-based factors, while people in love-based consciousness are primarily motivated by love-based factors. Since most of us are somewhere in between, we experience a mix of both drivers, with a predominant bias to one category.Ultimately, those who have reached the highest consciousness level i.e. Enlightenment will be motivated solely by love and light. That’s the level when fear and pain will no longer play any role in our life. Reader Bob puts it very well with this example: “… my thoughts are that in a higher conscious state we will not be affected by fear/pain although this might happen to us ie. the death of a loved one”. That’s because it’s at this consciousness level where we are understand events that normally trigger fear-based emotions at a transcendental level compared to those who vibrate at other levels.With that said, let’s now move to today’s question!

I love spending time with my work mates, I love that although we are so different as we all have our own backgrounds, values, beliefs and goals – but we can still manage to come together and share the things we do have in common and work as a team.
Also, I’m not really one to have a particularly thriving social life – so these people mean an awful lot to me, some are kind of like my “second family”.
i like to spend time with my friends. because with them i can be myself…….
I enjoy spending time with my friends, daughter, family.
Who do I love spending time with ….well me for one !!! I like my company ! But I love to spend time with my grandson Logan . He is such a joy to me . we bonded greatly at his birth ! How I love my Logan . I also love to spend time with Will he is my youngest son and Logan’s father . He to me is just fun and funny . My sister Alice , who lives in NY we also laff like little girls when we are able to spwnd time . just being silly .One more person whom I will love till I die is a man in Virgina , we spent last summer together Bike riding all the trails in va and md . Geez I love him , I so enjoyed being near him with him , laughig with him and talking with him . The chemistry was that of none other I have ever experienced . :heart:
I do enjoy spending time with mum when we are in same “location” – doesn’t matter if we are together, we will chat about anything, even if we are tired, we still lay down rest. I think it is normal for everyone to like spending time with their mum or parents esp. if we are far apart.
The other person i like to spend time with is my closest friend, whom visited me during the week-end. 1st few days, we were catching up on so many things, felt like we haven’t seen each other for years. I feel safe, trust that friend and tell her nearly everything – doesn’t matter if they are happy events or if I am sad, she’s always here to listen…
Who do I enjoy spending time with?
Many people – these are some that I spend more time with:
My wife – is always up on current events and is fun to converse with as we share many points of view.
My daughter – is bright and cheerful, nice and thoughtful – she is very pleasant to be around.
My son – enjoys music, creating, nature – and I enjoy sharing those experiences with him
My Brother – has good a sense of humor and is easy to converse with, enjoys music as I do, we have several common interests and values.
My Father – is pleasant and easy going, is a very good person to chat and just hang out and experience life with.
There are several people that I work with some daily, some only occasionally – I enjoy spending time with them – we share common experiences, they have pleasant personalities that put no pressure on a casual relationship.We can be ourselves while we get know someone else.
I enjoy meeting new people that are not negative, have a sense of humor, are intelligent, articulate, share common values, and have good manners. They make for good company, for me.
I have two mentors that I follow and enjoy reading and listening to what they have to say. They give me hope, inspiration, direction, and they help me get over obstacles that arise in my life. I have always searched for a mentor Celest is one of the two. I just started following this blog not to long ago.
I enjoy spending time with people that give me energy, with whom I have inspirational conversations.
I enjoy spending time with my husband; we never seem to stop talking, we stick together, we comfort eachother…there is a special connection between us.
I enjoy spending time with my kids; looking at the world as they see it, making fun, playing, making songs, experimenting with food (pretty soon we’ll be making pizza with banana and honey….)
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, but I do miss my old friends!
I emigrated 2 years ago and therefor I don’t see them as often as I would like.
In a couple of weeks I’ll be visiting (some of) them Wiiiiieeeee
I guess, overall, I enjoy spending time with other people, because they help broaden my horizon, give me a larger understanding and help me grow.
I enjoy being with my family.
My parents are always relaxed so I am usually able to be more fun and make jokes around them.
My sisters always push me to become a better person. They know my limits and try to push me beyond them.
My nephews and nieces always give me reasons to laugh and smile and to make sure we’re all enjoying it, I give them reasons to laugh and smile as well.
I enjoy being with friends and strangers. What I look for though in people are those who have the ability to open my mind. The ones willing to challenge my way of thinking, through expressing their differing opinions, or their insights into different perspectives that I’ve never thought of. Every new person I meet will usually bring some type of spark and new insight, especially younger kids who have such innocent and literal views of the world.
I enjoy talking to people I don’t even know in public places and on the internet. I think I have listed everyone now. :)
I enjoy spending time with my mom and extended family. I also enjoy talking to my brother he is smart and gives great advice. All these people I have listed they are fun and interesting. I also enjoy interacting with people that I have known most of my life on facebook.
:) I enjoy spending time with my friends, both males and females. they make me feel good when i am around them, i don’t worry about any of my challenges or problem when i am with my friends, they always bring smiles to my face.
i also enjoy spending time with my partner, he understands me better than even my parent, i find it easy to confide in him and share my heart with him. he is so supportive, loving ,patient and caring.
My family too are the best people i love being with, they are so caring and loving. they encourage me and support me in all that i do, i feel so relieved and secured when i am with my family.
then my mentor i dedicate a lot of time to her, i enjoy every bit of time i spend with her cause i always get to learn new thing and how to face my life challenges and overcome all obstacles in my way. she gives me hope, courage and she believes in my dreams. :D
I love spending time with my son. He is always so happy and fun. I love him. I treasure these moments with him because he is growing and won’t be this age forever.
I enjoy spending time with my husband we cut up together and laugh about different things. He admires me and I admire him. We have things in common and share the same opinions. He makes me happy.
They all have at least one quality that I admire about them:
One of my good friends talks a whole lot and I admire that about her. She can make friends with an absolute stranger just out of the blue.
One of my friends talks extremely polite.
One I admire because she is just a cool person into all the latest trends.
Another because she is smart
Another because she thinks I am a somebody
Another because she has always been fairly close friends since childhood
Another because he is charming, cool, and smart
Another because he is smart and sophisticated
Another because he is smart and sophisticated
Another because I can tell him anything he is sweet
Another because he is real religious
Another because he is always there for me and sweet
That is all I can think of right now. I always have at least one quality that I admire in every friend that I have. I have fun hanging out with any of my friends I enjoy peoples company. I normally have some things in common. The friends I hang out with are funny, talkative, we have things in common that we discuss, or similar interest like our kids, dancing, Art, school, work, travels, talk about are families. I have normally been around there family several times. I guess it comes down to the fact that we have things in common and that we like each other on a friendly level. We get along and have some similar ground and enjoy each others company. I don’t know quite why I enjoy peoples company maybe partly because they enjoy mine.
I enjoy spending time with my dogs they love me unconditionally and always want my attention. They love being around me or in my lap.
I enjoyed this exercise because it is nice to think of some people who care about us. Sometimes I forget that there are a lot of people who care about me. :love:
I’m enjoying being in this journaling challenge group because you’re all so inspirational and it’s such fun taking part – thank you!
I enjoy spending time with people who love to laugh – this reminds me not to be so pompous and to take myself less seriously. It also means I get to laugh a lot!
I enjoy being with people who are enthusiastic and passionate about life (like my zumba teacher) – they help me to reconnect with my passions.
I particularly love being with people who dare to be themselves. I find this particularly inspiring because, for most of my life, I have tried hard to be what I think people might want me to be. Being around people who are happy enough with who they are is so good for me. Conversely, these seem to be the sort of people who accept me for who I am.
I love spending time with my three adult children and my husband – wise mirrors and teachers that they are.
In fact, thinking about this question, I feel incredibly fortunate – I have good friends, a loving family and a wide range of very dear acquaintances.
As I write this, I am realising that I actually do like spending time with a wide range of people – babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, adults and elderly people.
I include the animal, mineral and plant world too – for example, I love spending time with my elderly cat because she is so gentle and friendly. I feel calmer and more peaceful when I spend time with her. I also love spending time with the birds in my garden who make me laugh because of their antics and also help me appreciate the beauty and ‘aliveness’ inherent in all things.
Everyone and everything is fascinating and has some gift to offer. Everyone I meet and everything I encounter is a teacher. How exciting is that?!
I enjoy spending time with my sister; she’s my best friend, and everything we do together is so much fun. She always understands me, and I hope vice versa; sometimes we’ll go out for meals or days out, and other times we’ll just meet up and watch a film in silence, but the nice, companiable silence where you don’t need to talk! She often acts like the older sister (she’s nearly three years younger, but so much wiser!!), but I do still feel fiercely protective of her.
I enjoy spending time with the rest of my friends as well; as time has gone on, my group of close friends has become smaller, but I’m happy with that; they’re the ones who are special, and it’s so nice to have kept that bond with them. In a perhaps strange contrast, I also like meeting new people; it’s quite liberating to chat away to someone on the bus, or on a night out, and then unexpectedly meet someone really interesting, even if it’s if only for a short time! I love never knowing who you’re going to meet.
I like to spend time with the rest of my family as well – I don’t see them as much nowadays, as I suppose life and growing up gets in the way :(, but it’s always important to me to make the effort. I think I took them for granted for a while, and now I’m so glad I realise what wonderful people they are.
I also love spending time with my boyfriend; even though we live together, we don’t often get the chance to spend proper time together anymore: go on dates, and all the silly things we took for granted. We often have different schedules, and he gets tired really easily when he is back home, and gets quite grumpy. So when he’s okay and we have time to ourselves, even just to go for a walk or to the cinema, I appreciate it a lot.
It’s great to take time to think about who you enjoy being in your life – love this question! :)
I enjoy spending time with people who are strong enough to think for themselves, and who carry their burdens lightly.
Without a doubt, the 2nd most (1st is myself) is my close friend. We are only friends starting this year (when we changed school) but we are already very firm.
We’ve went through ups and downs (there was once where I broke up with her because of a misunderstanding, but we made up) together so we realise the importance of friends.
During free times in classes, we get together (with some other friends) and play hand games. There are times where we play hangman, but usually it is hand games. We have lots of fun together. :)
Although we have disagreements and misunderstandings, we still are friends. I’ve had inspiration for my blog posts from her too.
We’ve also helped each other in schoolwork (there was once we stayed-back together to help each other on a project) and life matters (strictly confidential). Whenever we were free to choose our groups in class, we would ALWAYS be together.
Why I chose her as a friend was because when we came to know more about each other, we found that we had many same characteristics. For example, both of us are eager to grow, have initiatiative in class and love our leadership roles. :D
No need for further explanation. :dance:
P.S. Next year we’ll be in the same class ;)
…right now, the one i most enjoy spending time with, no matter the activity we share — texting, sending IMs, smoking, talking outside the office building in what i call my garden of motorcycles (it is like so in the morning as the yard functions like a parking space for motorcycles and there are so many of them), riding around town in his motorbike, eating…is my special friend (we’re in a no-strings-attached, no-obligations exploration arrangement).
I wish we could be together soon, as most of our exchanges now have been virtual since i left…not that i am freer to be me, or more relaxed, and more accepted when i am with him, as i am like that with most loved ones. self-authenticity is one virtue i try to live by…but i just like sharing things with him, and looking at things from his perspective as well. we share many things in common and i sure i don’t mind having a different take of things with him too. because we’re in some ways different — in terms of culture, religion, socialization, work experience — i am able to practice listening and not being defensive in my differing stance and appreciating another position on things.
I may still not agree with his points in our discussions, but i feel that i come away with a more respectful view of issues. i come away feeling more connected, than not connected, in our differences… i like it that my connectedness is not determined by whether there is agreement or disagreement over issues. i feel that it is the honest, non-judgmental, respectful and caring sharing between us that facilitates that connection. for this, i am grateful. namaste! :heart:
I enjoy spending time with people who challenge me and make me think, those who help me bring out the best in myself and others. Different people have qualities that I admire and respect. I relish the company of a diverse number of people because they embody qualities that I wish to have in my life.
Our thoughts are shaped and influenced by our surroundings. As Jim Rohn says ‘You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.’ It is good to try and move ourselves so we are constantly surrounded by positive challenging influences around us, people that motivate us, music that inspires us, an environment that makes us feel good. With internet we can do this very simply by having a mentor in every area we wish and being able to discuss and talk with people who share the same or similar values.
Celes, I admire the frankness in which people express their ideas here especially you. I have found that in society people are not necessarily willing to share their ideas or help. Recently, I changed my thoughts and now realised it is not just a question of thinking but a way of being from looking optimistically at life instead of in a pessimistic way in all areas of my life. They will always be people who don’t want to help – and there are always people who want to help. Keep moving towards the ones that will and share with them. By constantly reprogramming our thoughts we can change our perceptions and our life. Even if it is one small step at a time.
One thing that motivates me a lot in a day or drives me and keeps me quite contented is when i spend time with people. people interaction without a basic reason for the interation like assigning a task or getting a task, or discussing work/task is the best thing i like. i dont have any restrictions on the kind of topic.
I like to be with people who care and listen around me and i am lucky to have had many of them throughout my life.
I have noticed that at each stage of life there have been a special few with time spent is very memorable and has been very helpful too.
Joy of getting all the attention in the world and makes me smile a lot even on a very stressful day is my 2 lovely children. They are blessings in my life who keep me motivated to face my fears and constantly think of my growth. Time spent with them is all worth a photographic memory.
Some of the permanent ones so far has been spending time with my parents and siblings. So far have never got tired of them. Sharing experiences, sily gossips to serious topics. its been enriching. ofcourse we have our arguments.
Then friends, ah invaluable friends, people who lift you up when you are down, share your joys and achievements, sees the best in you. I have been blessed with rightn friends throughout my life and currently there are 2 of them with whom i would happily take time off to spend time with.
Last but certainly not the least, and in fact my most treasured companion is my spouse. There may be days when i dont feel like interacting with anybody but such a day has not yet come with him, thankfully for me. Anyday anytime his presence around makes me feel good and contented. I dont need to talk or be doing some activity, just in the same room, he busy with his work and me doing some activity and looking to each other for some comment or help is more than sufficient for me to have a contentful day. My prayers everyday is for both of us to have trust in each other and for this camaraderie to remain forever.
I enjoy spending time with people of all walks of life, shapes, and sizes, as long as they are open-minded and strive to be non-judgemental.
To just say what you want, including nothing, and not fear retribution or disdain… is a wonderful thing, that sadly, is not available with most people.
With those people, our conversations go from light hearted gossip to deep philosophical truths. We may be smiling, or we may be raising our voices and enunciating each syllable. But in the end, we respect each other’s opinions and see whether or not we want to take it in. We might not even be talking, but it’s still nice. An ease with the other knowing that you are truly accepted- since nothing you say or do, within reason, is likely to cause trauma and drama.
I also like spontaneous people, but that may go slightly in hand with open people.
Those who I don’t like to hang out with are those who judge, criticize, and complain. It doesn’t help anyone really.
Though I do hold true to what I like, I also do the things I dislike. I shall take on the challenge of working on reducing the time I spend judging, criticizing, and complaining. The ironic thing is that often this can brings people together, though the atmosphere created is quite dark, tight, and generally unpleasant. So each time I begin, I must remind myself of what I am doing and ease off.
Perhaps it is still myself…
Even though there maybe times when I love socialising and meeting up friends, there are most of the times when I love being alone. Probably due to my introverted nature.
I love being around my family definitely…
Hey Viole, to clarify, the intent of today’s question is not to choose between spending time with yourself or with others. It’s to be aware of the people we enjoy being around, to understand why we enjoy spending time around them, and to celebrate their existence in our life.
Spending time with others and spending time with self is not a mutually exclusive relationship; it’s also not a zero sum game. One can enjoy spending time alone just as one can enjoy spending time with others, so there’s no need to make comparisons between them. When we do that, we start boxing our social relationships, and we start setting “standards” and “benchmarks” for people we are with. This prevents us from making the best out of our relationships with people.
I’d also shared the same thoughts in my follow-up to Prion’s comment.
Hope that helps to clear things up!
I enjoy spending time with my mom and dad. They´re the only people I really connect with, they understand me, they support me, they don´t judge me. I can talk to them about anything. I feel like I´m myself when I´m around them. I love when we just sit down and watch movies together, I love when we have deep conversations about life, I love when we spend hours discussing some topic.
Also I like spending time with my best friend, although at´s hard because she lives all the way across the ocean. We´ve seen each other a total of 7 weeks, but that is just enough. We write each other every week and we tell the other everything. I can also talk to her about anything, she is fun, and a great friend. I wish I could spend more time with her.
I like spending time with some of my friends too, but I feel I can´t be myself around them. I haven´t found friends I really connect with yet, people who know me, who respect my view points, who respect my decisions. I don´t like when my friends judge my decisions or my way of living my life. I wish that when I tell them, for example, that I meditate, or that I´m working to be a better person, they wouldn´t laugh at me. They are fun, and I like being around them, but not too much…
I really enjoyed this journal prompt because it allowed me to think about the real reasons I enjoy spending time with certain people. It also helped me realize who I enjoy being around, which made me reconsider the time I spend with other people. I am going to make a conscious effort to spend more time with the people who made it on my list because I feel that we crossed paths in order to learn from each other. :)
Summary of the traits I found in the people I enjoy spending time with:
-genuine/ down to earth
-positive outlook on life and the challenges that come there way
-can act crazy/silly
-awkward to some degree… because I can be :P
-nonjudgmental ( someone I can be my true self around)
-confident in their own skin ( or working towards it)
-straight forward
-honest & open
-friendly
-happy people…people who smile ( I also am attracted to people working on being happy because I feel that we help each other on the journey to finding happiness within ourselves)
-people who I can laugh and joke with
-people who are similar to me in regards to what we have been through in life so far, or the things we are -struggling with at the present moment. (similar interests in life )
The people who I enjoy spending my time with have all really helped me become a better person. I have learned a lot about myself through the interactions I have had with them. I am really thankful for having them in my life and hope to continue to learn and grow from the relationship I have with them. In addition, I love knowing that I have helped some of them have a better self image or impacted them in some other way.
I also reflected on the relationships I used to have that somehow ended. It’s always sad to let go of someone you considered to be a really good friend but it is a part of life. This has helped me gain perspective on the fact that you should fully embrace and enjoy the time you have with your close friends NOW because you never know when they will leave your life. I have begun to look with gratitude at relationships I have lost but once had. I am thankful for all that I have learned from the people who were once a part of my life. It is important to remember that for every friendship that ends another one will start, so I try to not look negatively at lost friendships.
I do enjoy spending time with God, talking to Him through prayers, meditation, and through confession. I feel so rest assured that He is always there for me in good and in bad times. I always feel for His presence. Oftentimes, God answers my prayers right away, and sometimes, it does takes time because God knows best what is best for me. Thank you God.
Well, I enjoy spending time with some of my co-workers and my fellow yogis.
The wierd thing about this is that I rarely hang out with these people outside of work functions or yoga. I particularly wish I could get to know some of my fellow yoga students better and since that is my favorite activity,
On the other hand, I have a few friends outside of those groups that I just know socially, but I feel like I’ve outgrown them and don’t enjoy being around them as much.
So that’s the catch 22…I’m moving away from my old social circle, but not developing a new social circle. I suffer from social anxiety and find it difficult to initiate friendships, but I really enjoy being around people.
I enjoy spending time with my best friends and my cousins– every moment with them is bliss and time just goes by super fast. We could be in an empty room without anything but still have a good time. I thank God every time for the great relationships that I have and that others wish to experience. I forever appreciate them and greatful to have them in my life. It really is the simple things in life that make us happy. :)
I love what you wrote.
And it really is the simple things that bring happiness!
I would love spending time with my family – mom, hubby and kids the most. I would also love to spend time with my friends. At most, I would love to spend time with myself. This gives me time to reflect on myself and my values. Everyday I spend some time with myself, appreciating the day and the lessons learnt. This helps me to grow as a person
i love spending time with as many strangers as i can people are so interesting and everyones story and perspective in unquie to them. you can learn so much about so many different things just by hearing someone else’s take on it
People are fantastic
I also love being with my kids, my grandson, family and my friends
but I will give time and energy to anyone that wants to chat.
Well said Lynda !
I enjoy spending time with my close friends, because they are filled with so much positive energy. They are funny, super active, talkative, and good listeners too. We go for shopping, movies and hang out together all the time (whenever possible). We also celebrate special occasions together like birthdays, festivals, etc. We talk about all the happenings in our lives and enjoy every moment.
I also enjoy spending time with my brother, because he is cool, funny and he is like my friends, filled with positive energy. Now, he is in hostel, so we talk on phone only. But earlier, when he used to live with us, every day in the evening, we used to talk about our day, and laugh & fight on silly things. I miss him :( I am eagerly looking forward for him to come home in Christmas holidays.
I also enjoy spending time with my parents, especially while watching TV & talking, because more than watching the shows, we discuss them. My mom passes some funny or emotional comments, my dad some sarcastic ones, and my comments are usually mixed. We talk and laugh rather than seriously watching TV. We have a good time together.
There are many more people I enjoy spending time with (my grandmother, cousins, nephews, niece, other relatives, childhood friends, family friends, some neighbors, etc.). But I am not describing the why and how stuff about them because it would take more than a day.
After thinking and answering this question, I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life :dance:
Thank you Celes for asking such a wonderful question :hug:
