My self 😁. I have few people in my life that motivates me, some are big names athletes and some are old writers. I start small, let things grow to see results and that motivates me to do more and start again. An example! Me and the wife started growing our own spices about 7 or 8 years ago. Now we have a small farm in our garden and we have about all daily used veggies, spices, fruits and if i will list them all am gonna end up by writing a novel 🤣. So when it's time to harvest! the ''little'' we get motivate us to do more. That includes changing the mindset where lowers my frustration and stress levels and gives me more energy to find a mission where it helps me do better in my own life and work slowly on it while giving me slow results and there after expand it until maybe one day I have my own business. And remember! Always take a break from the seriousness now and then.
Myself. If I don't push myself to get and accomplish what I want and need out of life, no one else will. I've learned not to depend on ANYONE else to push you, as people have a tendency to disappoint or let you down... lots. So I have to push myself to do better, wake up and get out of bed, lose weight, get that paycheck, etc...
My family. I need to take care of my little ones and lovers. Also I want to have more little ones. That means doing my best to do what I can, as well as avoiding that party lifestyle (though it's tempting) so I'll actually be alive to be there for them, and for myself to see them grow older :)
Before having kids, that whole drug free thing, or weighing risks wasn't so important. Like good goal, not something absolute. It's different now.
Nothing anymore. I gave up my entire future when I learned I'd no longer grow any taller at age 18, not that I ever grew to begin with. No height means no woman which means no family or future. For the longest time, that's all I ever wanted: love. I gave up that fool's errand, though. At 18. Everything else beyond that point is a pointless afterlife and I'm just the ghost inhabiting this dead body. I just simply don't have the physical body to attract a woman/wife. Although I came close, once.
I didn't mean that to sound as melodramatic as it did.
My own willingness. I'm a late bloomer. So started to work for my own betterment quite recently after a breakup. The breakup caused trauma and my distraction was to work for being better. It worked. I'm still not there. But I'll be there.
I realised how much "acceptance" does to a person. I never had a person accepting me except for my own family before that relationship. After the breakup, I applied for another job and I got accepted. Those are the motivations I have. I saw for the first time in my life I'm getting accepted. That made my beliefs change. I started to believe in myself.
Recently I have even declined a job offer during this difficult time with an economic crisis in hand. I don't know if I did the right thing or not. But that's how confidence works. I felt like I can do better.
@ChrisMaster69 ❤ Have to be, can't go back to how was as a child. Have to give them the life we didn't get. That keeps you strong when everything feels so heavy ✨
Great question. All the pains I went through in my past have more than motivated me to always push for more, bigger, and better. Once you come from the bottom and climb higher, you literally do not ever want to see yourself back there again. Suffering is a motivator indeed.
To see what I can make, and to provide myself and my cat a better lifestyle.
I like pushing myself and growing, and a good way to keep doing this is setting goals and achieving them.
I don't like being stagnant. I get bored.
Plus, I adopted my cat four years ago. He's an older black cat, and very cuddly and chatty. I really want to build him his dream cat room and give him all the space to play around in. He deserves a good life, and so do I.
I actually don’t know. There’s this inner voice in me that wants me to progress and get better because that would be better for me and my goals. I don’t have a specific person that motivates me or a specific thing outside of this inner voice or drive. I self motivate nearly everything that I do. Naturally, I think humans feel the need to progress in whatever they do.
Dating honestly is a motivation... every failed relationship is an opportunity to learn from you or their mistakes and improve upon yourself in order to become the best version of yourself possible. So my current girlfriend keeps me pretty motivated. She's a expert at motivation! ;)
The fact that life is so short. I want to experience all that I can and have my loved ones be proud of me. Then I feel like I owe it to myself to achieve all my dreams otherwise I'll always have regrets. And I don't want to die with any of those. May I slay my demons in this life so in the next possible one I have a clean slate with nothing holding me here.
Knowing I did my best in whatever happens to me in life makes me feel good. If on top I discover having genuinely being able to help someone, in whatever way, makes me feel best. I'm convinced that every little good deed helps this world to become a place a little better to live in.
It can be negative teachers from the past, nagging parents, ex-friends, bad jobs that motivates someone to find their own place, move to a new city, have that peace of mind they yearn. To live a modest life, keep to yourself, don't post everything on social media (because social media can be toxic), have faith in God, work on yourself, spending less time pointing fingers at others and reflect on your life, striving for higher education for jobs or knowledge overall and health of course.
My motivation comes from my mother and sister that abused me mentally and physically. They told me I was no good and I would never be worth anything. It's a struggle but I am slowly overcoming their abuse I start college in the fall and as hard as it's been I keep thinking I will make something of myself unlike my sister who is in prison. I believed what they told me how I was no good and never would be. Not anymore!!
Trying to be the best example for my kids. Society undermines families so much now in America that I have to wait until they become adults before they wake up and realize that mom and Dad REALLY DO care more about them than the world and we're best suited to protect and guide them.
A business man doesn't reveal his plans, I'll tell you when I have it running, unless I change plans again, either ways my mechanic shop is still the life goal but I gotta focus on the in betweens
Picturing myself struggling in the future is what motivates me to push harder. I want to be able to feel worthy and like I have everything set in life. I hate to be in situations where I feel stuck and self doubting all of the time. And comparing myself to others makes it worse.
Nothing. I can barely even get up in the morning. I just do whatever. I've been told I need help. But I can't get help. And I mean I can't afford therapy or whatever for stuff that's happened to me. I'm just tryna survive.
My dad's death greatly motivated me, I want to carry on his hard work and be my dad's daughter. I also never want to live an impoverished life as I did as a child, I want to constantly have food in the fridge and a bed to sleep on.
My ex girl at the time at least. We lived together and felt pressure and motivation to succeed to provide for the two of us and the future family we always talked about
To do better in everything or just life in general? I am a US Airforce Combat PJ I try to do everything better in Real Life as a rule. You Seriously Never Know When Your Number is Up? Not meant to scare you but it is just the truth.

My little sister looks up to me. My best friend if they are disappointed in me and I can't be successful I'm scared they will look at me with a lower regard.
Happiness. Whenever I get in a funk I try to look objectively at my life. Whats missing? What is making me unhappy? Where can I improve? I then set forth to remedy as much as I can.
Since my mother didn't raise me , I decided long ago that I was going to be a better parent than she was and it also spilled over into the other parts of my life. I'm grateful for it.
