Best form of motivation?
Is it Greed or Revenge....I'm trying to pinpoint what the focus of the next few years of my life should be.

1. Finding peace within
and leaving greed by the wayside and leaving revenge to God.

4. I like that and agree, ayeshahaqqiqa. May I ask
if there's a meaning to your name other than a name?

10. Yes
I was given my first name by my first initiator, Shaykh Nur. "Ayesha" means "woman" in Arabic, and I was named for the youngest wife of the Beloved Prophet, which certainly helped with my self-esteem, once I read her biography! "Haqqiqa" has as its root "Haqq" which means "Truth" in Arabic, and is one of the 99 Beautiful Names of God. This name was given to me as well by a dear friend and spiritual guide.

8. If you need gobs of money to smite your enemies
then i guess you've got your motivation.

9. Actually, my theory is that it's spite.
I won't explain it, unless you really, really want me to. So deeply based in ego, it is. Spite being 2 parts greed, 2 parts revenge, shaken AND stirred, really.
