What motivates you?
In times where your desire to do something is limited, what are some things that personally inspire you to tackle it?

Integrity and a will for not disappointing, especially myself.

What motivates me eh? Well for work and school work my main motivation is having a happy future exactly the way I want it. See, i won't feel accomplished unless i own a house out in the country side with over 5 acres of land all to myself. That is just how i can see myself living stress free and happy.

We are not in control of what happens to us in the day to day world. We are, however, in complete control of how we respond to what happens to us.
I just repeat that to myself and trudge on because there is no other choice really. Persistance and strong will generally do bring about a (gradual) change in attitude. Everything has it's own ebb and flow, including motivation... Just give yourself time and stick to what you know you need to accomplish, the rest will follow.

mmhmm that and love of life, friends, family. The need to succeed. Laughter. Sometimes just wanting to fit in helps too.

If it wasn't for it I wouldn't work out constantly or do the things I do. I build my stamina up because I'm a menace in the sack and I work out my body for the ladies. I mean any1 that says any different is lying.

i'm kinda all over the place, so many different things motivate me...
i think inspire is a better word for me, since motivated is never something that i've ever considered myself. other people's actions, seeing results in other's lives, motivates (inspires) me. acts of kindness from others acts of kindness from me inspire more because it's a great feeling a good mellow even high...

The feeling I get inside. Regardless of what my mind tells me, I usually know to act or not act on certain things based on whether they bring out a positive or negative feeling in me.
