the fact of living a simple life and buying things i want really motivates me to do well in my school work
also focusing really hard on what i am doing blocks out the laziness that i have
Little to nothing. I guess the thought of gaining certain things. When I do someone a favor, I'm motivated by the thought of being thanked and making them happy. I feel good. When I diet, I'm motivated by the thought of being attractive. When I work, I'm motivated by the thought of having money. All selfish reasons really.
Spite. It sounds terrible, but after growing up surrounded by abusive people that didn't value or believe in me, most of the time, I'm motivated by pure spite just to succeed and prove them wrong.
Um, but also because success is a good thing and I want to have a good quality of life.
