'Act and Inspire'

The subject of this blogpost is something that an old school friend has coined. And this entire 'piece' is inspired by his rather unique endeavour. Read about it on his own blog http://peak29.wordpress.com/
I happen to know some of the most driven people on this planet - Kedar Iyer gets added to that list. What is it about some people that keeps them motivated to pursue pursuits which aren't exactly connected to financial, professional or even 'social' gain? Some of my closest friends seem to have this drive and focus. Of course, I clearly lack it, in a spectacular way.
It's not that I don't have focus. I just have one which is kinda broadbased. Can't help it if just about everything interests me, can I?
So, I'm now making public my newfound attempt to have both, focus and drive.
Any comments, suggestions on how to keep the motivation levels wayyy up there would be appreciated.
As I re-read this blog, it doesn't seem to be entertaining or even remotely interesting. Oh well. I'm flattering myself again. Like millions of my readers are gonna flood me with howls of protest about the lacklustre post. And while I am flattering myself, it seems as though I've lost weight too.
