As a kid, it was friendship.

As an Adolescent it was power.

As a new adult, it is money. There's none of the other two without money.

[dynamicyandere]

Yes.


One thing that I’ve learned is that the more you are tested through challenges, the more pressure you are being put through, the more you are forced to dig deep to find and understand your own motivations.


For me, it’s a combination of things.


But, I suppose they can fall under these: I don’t want to be unloved. I don’t want to be disrespected. I don’t want to be powerless. I don’t want to be mediocre.


Because of that, I have focused on becoming the best significant other I can be, I have done things and continue to do things that earn self-respect as well as respect among my peers, I have continually worked on improving my power and influence physically/emotionally/socially/professionally, and I work hard to stand out among other people, often outworking and outperforming others in the areas of relationships, career, fitness, and finance.


(e. g. At the company I work for, 13 people have been fired in 13 months, while I’ve received 3 pay raises and 2 promotions in 8 months.)


I’m dead set on becoming the best version of myself, entering into the top 1% of everything that I’m capable of.

I didn’t grow up with loving parents, when I was younger. I was bullied by taller kids. I’ve been underestimated by my peers before. I’ve been underestimated by my family members before. I’ve been mediocre, simply trying to fit in. I’ve been through depression before. I’ve wrestled with suicidal thoughts before. I’ve had existential crises before. I’ve been captive to my inner demons before. And when I was 23, I made the decision, “Never again.”

[dynamicyandere]

Ah, I forgot to mention, I’ve been broke before. I’ve worked a minimum wage job, lived on canned foods and instant ramen, and slept in a storage room for a couple years. I had to work my a** off to get to where I am now.

[Grovermint]

Obligations. I really don't care for living to be honest, id rather pass away. I'm never going to have what I want or need in life, just enough to keep going through the motions. It's been proven to me that no matter what I do, I'm just never going to have a wife and kids. My dream of being a husband and father is firmly dead.

Power & Money

I am medically trained - nowadays having been headhunted for some unique jobs I do consulting - and during COVID I worked an insane workload (7 days a week 60 to 80 hrs a week) overseeing two pharmacies/clinics for a organization that when all is said and done didn't even pay me properly for 4 months.

I learnt after COVID to fuck the idea of working for other people. I'm better trained than many of my previous employers and they profit from it. Yeah I do do some work but it's like 20 hrs a week at maximum.

Anyway

Last year I started my own generic store e commerce building. It's done quite well.

By the end of this year I intend to start another that after 18 months of researching will do even better than the first one.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I just want to live. I want to experience things. I have no real ambitions but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy being here.

[EmmaMary]

The simple desire to succeed with everyday life.

[Lynx122]

I want to live my life as best as I can. I mean make good decisions and commit to them and be the best person I can be but also enjoy my life.

[LiamJHayden]

I am motivated by a desire to be able to spend my time as I see fit. To that end I work insane hours in order to acquire enough assets to generate sufficient passive income to pay all expenses, including frivilolities.

[Dinklex3]

A lot of things motivate me.

It’s not just one thing

[lightbulb27]

Somewhat. Some of it is”meaning”, security, love, understanding

[jshm2]

My malice.

I do well, in order to keep my enemies lower.

[AviatorTom]

My best motivation is DOING GOOD, which applies to so many things.

[Anonymous]

Money! I'm driven to stack as much paper as possible.

The ironic thing is money means very little to me. But I know the Value of money and all the good that it can do.

And that is why I do it.

[genericname85]

i'm motivated by whatever furthers my personal life or the life of people that matter to me.

[Sabretooth]

Money. It's a weak motivation and costly to the soul... But, I have nothing else... And not remotely far a lack of trying.

[Nominal]

Do i understand what motivates me? Absolutely.

[Nikki1989]

Loved ones, friends, and music.

[siseñor]

enough money can buy you anything

[KingOfMe1]

It can't. Somethings cannot be bought. However, knowledge can be bought. If you understand what I'm saying.

[Reem12345reem]
