What is your motivation?

Motivation come from the almighty it shouldnt be coming from people. My motivation is my breath when I inhale and exhale. What could be more motivational than the way we all humans are waliking on this beautiful planet earth. I think we all are too busy about our carrier and and looking at others that he is successfull but not me and in the mean time we have totally forgot about that who make us breath and who are we?

I do things because i know i can do them. I do them because i am touched and know that i have to get things done. i never give anyone power of my choices. however it does feel good to give them a big fat FU when folks think you can't do something and you show them that Ha... no matter what you think i am doing it and making my life better!!

I'll take BOTH, for it means the same to me...CHALLENGE. If someone says I can't, I always find ways to prove to him that I am capable of doing so, for me...if others can, what could there be to hold me back? If they say I can...just the same, i'll find ways to prove, but this time, to prove to myself that I can. If others trust in my capabiities, much more I should trust my own capabilities. Besides, we are the one to benefit the outcome of that challenge. And there's no great motivator but self satisfaction.

I am a rebel and a little like you, i attempt things people tell me i cannot do or don't say i cannot do it and sure enough most of the time i succeed. Cute story.

My only motivation in life is to work and make money to provide a better future for my wife and kid because i love them a lot

Hmmm...I do things regardless of what someone might or might not say to me. If I feel in my self it is what I need to do I do it! If someone says I can't, it doesn't matter to me....they may be right...LOL! I know there are things I can do and things I can't do. It is up to me to figure that out, not anybody else.

hi mommyboo Yesa indeed the possibilities in life can be fun,. I will never forget when I needed a long gown white but pretty for our district meeting of the Royal Neighbors of America. I was 18 and was a Grace so was supposed to have a very lacy pretty gown. We looked for long gowns ball room type and could not find my size as I was a bit hippy for my size but my mom a nd I saw the prettiest night gown I have ever seen.long to your ankles with lots of lace and it looked as pretty as some of the ball gowns I had tried on. the nightgown was really for brides and it was gorgous and a bit pricey for the prices of that day.I wore it for the threer nights of our meeting. I received compliments from older people from other branches I had not known and went back home with my mom a happy camper. Nobody ever knew my ball gown that was so pretty was actually the wedding night special nightie for a bride to be. You have to look for things outside the box at times and that makes life really fun. I really enjoyed all three nights and was probably the youngest Royal Neighbor there but I did not really care as i was so happy as everyone said how pretty my gown was and how pretty I looked. this was a new one to me as nobody in my family ever called me pretty. hippy,fatso, plain etc but never pretty. My husband called me pretty too and now my son says you look pretty for an elderly lady. well for a computer programmer nerd thats the highest praise you can get from him. lol lol.

Well, as I cannot be as short and sweet on here as I can on Facebook, I'll state the first part that it depends upon the situation. What I mean by that, in detail , is that there are many things that motivate me and it depends upon what sort of situation I am in at the time of the decision and motivation. So, let's run through a few scenarios. At times I am motivated because of my family. I may not like having to do the laundry but the children need clothes to wear so I am motivated by them to get it done. At times I'm motivated simply by my own needs or desires. I may do something, or say something simply because I feel like it. In these situations I don't really care what other people think. It's a bit like writing here on Mylot. If I have an opinion and it is asked of I will share it like or not. It is a bit like my weight loss. I'm not doing it for my hubby, another guy/girl, or even my children. I am doing it because it makes me feel good about myself. It is my own challenge of beating my own self-will. So far it's been a breeze now that I've found the right diet, but again it is a motivation of purely my own, so that I feel good. I think with things like this is better to be doing it out of your own personal motivation because that way nothing anyone says will ever deter you. Now, one thing that is a huge motivator in my life is the "truth". I really have an issue with those who spread false information about any given subject. I'm motivated by a sense of "right" to put up the truth or say the truth and I do so. At times it does make one the "outsider" but to me it is best if the information is out there. It's a bit like the thread I did on the new lightsabers. Totally not safe, with serious issues. On another forum I took a lot of heat over it because I stated it was NOT safe to do "lightsaber" demonstrations with these swords in public because of their safety issues. Namaste-Anora

I think the attempts that I make towards new things really do motivate me. It is the experience that really does get me going in the day. There are a lot of times where I might fail and I will fall right on my face for a lot of things. Still the fact that are going to give me a lot of motivation to do things is the experience of doing them, whether they would be good, bad, or in different. I think that in the end, I'm going to have a fulfilled life by making the attempts at doing things in life. That is the thing that really does motivate me. It is really the experience of everything that I am doing and is going to lead me to accomplish some of the greatest things in life. Just to get out there and seize the moment. You never know when the next one might come after all. That is what motivates me.

I have trouble with people who say I CAN do it! How do they really know? The other one I have trouble with is I can't believe you can't do that. The one I don't have trouble with is I don't think you can do it. I rise to the occasion and prove them wrong. Been doing that my whole life. I love it when I prove them wrong.

everything is possible in life .But nature has given every person some limitations.Any how we have to add here those.Otherwise every one will succeed and all could be like Bill Gates.But donot get demotivated try and try you might get suceeded or not

it is easier to show motivation in connection with a subject that is dear to you. If you desire something, but you don't feel motivated enough to act, this means that the desire is not important enough. To be motivated to take action and do something in respect to your desire, you need to possess a really strong desire.
