What Motivates You?


Abi

Recommended Posts

    I don't see a thread that is dedicated to motivational or inspirational videos. I know when I am all alone and need a pick me up, a video encouraging me to feel good about myself, can do a world of good. I hope many of you will share the videos that lift you up, when you're feeling down. If not at least this will be where I dump tons of feel good vibes. Enjoy. Now, my only dilemma is, which of the many great videos out there do I start us all off with? :thinking:

This will do nicely I think.

@Mx.Drago Yes!!! Music that motivates is welcome as well. I mainly meant like spoken word but, we all have our own vision of motivation...as we should. Thanks.

The vibes just fine as far as I'm concerned. Though they may have to move the thread if it takes more of a music theme overall. We shall see. Excellent music choices to get motivated by too. :)

@Abi Music and music videos, are two totally different beasts, in my opinion.

 

@MaryMary Ace Base was my jam since I was little. My first cassette tapes were a Christmas classic collection, Queen, and Ace Base.

Motivation takes many forms. There's no wrong one, if it moves you. That's exactly the way this thread should be taken, I think. Videos that motivate. I hope to see many ideas take shape here. It could be many types of videos. Who knows? Maybe one of us is motivated by something someone else never thought of. Perhaps seeing that brief video or sharing that quick thought will change someone else's way they feel about themselves for the positive. That's my hope. I need all the help I can get too. I'm so selfish. LOL.

@MaryMary This is an absolutely awesome video. I will watch it many times. I have a feeling this is one many of us will enjoy. If you get to make your video, I am positive it will be great.

I love those kind of videos that have a kind of "challenge" tone to them, a call to action if you will. I would love to make one about "trans is beautifull".

Very invigorating video @MaryMary! Wow, it gets your blood pumping just thinking about it after watching. It brings emotion right to the forefront and emboldens the viewer. There was one clip from a movie I had not seen. The teenager who was cutting her hair to look more masculine...Does anyone know what movie that was?

@Mx.Drago That is one of the best speeches Charlie Chaplin ever gave in my opinion. It was such a powerful statement then and has long lasted the test of time. Excellent choice. :thumbsup:

Wow, quite the interesting thread.  I never thought of videos, recorded music, or other entertainment media as a means of motivating oneself.  Humankind never ceases to be interesting (at least to me).

 

@Suzanne1 Thank you for the compliment on this thread idea. I thought many of us would have a different take on motivation. I can certainly agree that a rational discussion is motivating. I believe we honor each other with patience and understanding. Money is not much of a motivator for me. I see no value in paper but, give me a hot cup of coffee and a pleasant conversation and you'll see the wealth in my eyes. That's just me though. I know we all have our direction and totally respect that.

The path forward is rarely clear and often quite mysterious. Often, as we take a moment to stop and look behind us, there is a reflection upon what we once saw as so vital, wondering if we made all the right steps. Accepting that change will be the only constant we can count on and preparing for anything we face along the way will provide an opportunity for us to put our best foot forward regardless of what direction we are headed.

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      What about it?

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby

      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
