What motivates you?

There are many different theories about the topic of motivation.  I remember a professor from college that stated to our class "Nobody can motivate you, but a seed can be planted that pushes you to do great things."  I believe that motivation is all about having confidence in yourself, & a belief that you can respond to an external challenge. 

Here are some things in my life that act as motivators for me...

My Dad & especially my Mom pushed me very hard to do well in school.

My Wife motivates me to work hard every day, & to be a good husband.

My little girl Maiya motivates me to take care of myself & to live healthy.

My current & former baseball players motivate me to be the best coach I can be.
