How do you get motivated to do whatever you do?

AniManga Hound · Mar 14, 2006, 08:20 PM

Like, me, I like to write. But I have no motivation. I have all these ideas that I think are great, and then futurama comes on and I can't move from the couch. So, to motivate myself, I go to Fictionpress.com and read all the little story descriptions or watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, which makes me want to write my own masterpiece of a story.

Those are tricks I have. What about you?

Yeah its kinda hard to get myself motivated too, but hey i just got done donating some blood and the only motivation was cookies afterwards. Iguess you just gotta think about how cool the outcome of what your about to do will be. Or it also really helps if what your doing is for someone you really care about.

I have three goals like I would like to highly like to acomplish. My first goal is to become the best fashion marketeer in the history of the world, my second goal is to become physically fit, and my final goal is to pass school with impressive grades. For all these goals, my only motivition is staring at my reflection in a mirror. When looking into my reflection, I always think to myself questions such as "Who are you? Can you do better than what you have done so far in life? Why do you want to do this? How will you do this? Can you overcome all obstacles in your way? Who will support you through this?" When I think about the answers to these questions, I have more confidence than ever to achieve anything in my life because to know how hard these goals will be to achieve would be satisfying to know that in the end, if I did fulfil all these goals, I had just made important dreams in my life turn into reality. So in a way, my motivation is to know who I am, what I will do, and how this will affect other people around me

It depends if your a born leader or a follower.
I take the first step to motivate those around me.
So im usually motivated to do what I realy want.

I get my motivation from the people who are better than me, so I try to keep up with them. Like I train harder, study harder etc.
