So go ahead and tell me, what's your motivation to keep going on with your life, and move on to bigger and better things?

Personally I think simple things are the way to go (i.e being with friends, relationships, forgetting the problems of the day regardless of that fact that you are going to have to face them again once the next day approaches).

Nothing wrong with a little bit of introspection (is that a word?). Anyway, replies are always much appreciated.

The fact that my classmates/co-workers in my Adult* Transition Program are all a bunch of idiot douchebags, and the only reason I'm among them is because of an arguably non-existent social condition which I don't even think I have anymore. Also, to get out of working at Wal-Mart and improve my job experience.

*In name only.

what reall motivates me to keep going? That's what I'd like to know, I fail at everything to the point where it just doesn't seem worth the time to keep practising. Also, I'm highly interested in EVERYTHING, when something new comes around that's all I think about. It's almost imposable for me to consentrate on a single object for a long time, I don't have the stamina to keep the momentem going for a difficult task.

We're not here because we're free, we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

It is purpose that created us
Purpose that connects us
That binds us
That drives us
It is purpose that defines

We're here because of you, Mr. Anderson, and we're here to take from you what you tried to take from us.

Purpose.

I'm not sure what my purpose is, but while I'm figuring that out, my video games are motivation to keep me going XD

I keep going because otherwise I get bored. I get bored less easily when I'm moving ahead.

In all seriousness, my girlfriend, the acquisition of power/wealth, and the future publishing of my novels all motivate me.

I'm supposed to need a reason now? I find life to be pretty decent, ya know? I'll admit that there are plenty of things that can happen in life which aren't that great, but compared to the alternative... life is pretty decent.

While I'm living I have the opportunity to experience new things, to live through a series of interesting moments. Isn't that enough? I've gone through my dark times in life, but they are mostly behind me and I can honestly say that life for me does not require any kind of motivation to keep going. I would choose to extend it if possible.

If I have to pick one reason.... my motivation to keep going is to find out what happens tomorrow.

For one, my dreams are pretty big and unrealistic... so I have to do a lot of work to make sure they get at least... 50% realized... wait... my motivation? My dreams of course! My feelings after I complete a full day of the tasks at hand, and realize *to complete my dreams... I must do this for the rest of the year!*

THAT is what motivates me. Oh yeah, and pretending I'm Rock Lee.

There's many thing that motivate me to live life. To be honest, I'm in a rut right now due to some bad decisions and letting people have too much of an influence in my life until the midway through my college years. I decided not to pursue more of Psychology because it's nice to study it as a hobby but not as a career. I disappointed many people, but it was really the best decision I ever did.

I guess having the Christian faith is a good motivator since you can borrow strength from the Holy Trinity to overcome obstacles you can overcome.

Most of my family supports me in most things I do, there have been rows over what I wanted to do in life but they mostly have my back. I live with my mother (but paying rent of course) but I don't plan to stay past at 25 years old, which is almost exactly a year from now.

My friends and boyfriend always supported me in everything I do and a great source of comfort as well.

And I guess my love of anime and manga motivates me quite well. It's a fun activity to do and I look forward to play around with it after a tiring day from work. Lately my inner fujoshi has been hitting new power levels. Only something like BL would make my tired body walk all over NYC in search of the Kichiku Megane manga. LMAO.

But sometimes, life motivates to live on because it's life. You only get one shot so enjoy it. There's something romantic of thinking of what's life for you and just enjoying the feeling of just existing.

To me life seams pointless, I mean I believe that the meaning of life is to be born live, reproduce, and die. What we do in between that effects how our next generation lives, but if the next generation is another version of my life what is the point? Perhaps I'm looking too far ahead, expecting to die tomorrow and have this dream called reality black out like a computer monitor. Knowing that I'm just 1 out a billion people on the planet and my life is so insignificant to how the next generation lives that if death did phase me soon, the only people I would effect would be my family and people who know me personally. I ask myself why should I strive to live to my full potential, why should I be motivated to keep myself alive? So I can have sex with someone, become a parent and follow the footsteps of my parents?

I would like to say and I think Raidar would agree, that emotions are just elusions of the mind. Whether you're happy, sad, angry, or feel sick it's all in your head. Some are warnings to your body; some are just mental expressions like love, lust, anger, joy, and sadness: hormones in the body stimulate some, but not a single one affects the nature of the universe.

So where does this life take me, to heaven, hell? I don’t believe in the after life, and I don’t believe in reincarnation, but I do believe that life starts out random, that we are all created through genes passed on through our parents, and the mind is developed from that.

The point... would appear to be the years, the days, the hours, the minutes in between. Each one of those minutes has the potential to be filled with something interesting, or something fun, or something that makes you happy. You can even share those moments with someone you love.

If that's not enough for you, then what the hell would be? I don't mean this as a flame, but I suggest that maybe counselling would be able to help you. Life is basically what you make of it, and you don't seem to be making it particularly enjoyable for yourself right now.

You're dying. One second at a time.

If you don't spend these seconds enjoying yourself, then that really is pointless.

^You know, back when I was in middle school, that's how I used to think. I got way into philosophy and stuff... trying to figure out what exactly life was for *used Wikipedia alot to do my research*. Basically, I got this feeling that life really didn't mean a thing... and that... I am just one person of billions. However, after I became obsessed with music, I decided that instead of wasting away with boring ideals of what life really is from an objective point of view... I decided that it'd be better for me to just go with my emotions and feelings, and I decided that I would change the world... as far as that can go... as musician, my goal is to touch as many other people as I can with my music... and other aspects of myself, and in the process, to have loads of fun doing it. Of course, right now, I play piano everyday and compose/transcribes songs like crazy... but hey, one day, I'll be out there.

As for dying... I look at it like this: If I die... I'm dead, too bad. My dreams didn't get realized. So... knowing that I could die at anytime now... and that when I die... it'll probably have no relevance to the rest of the world, even if I do become 'famous' or 'well liked' or 'important to the music world', I think I definitely would rather spend what ever remains of my life... satisfying my goals... and living the way that makes me happy and/or satisfied.

For you, Yukimura, if you enjoy living the way you do (and Reidar too), then that's great, to each his own. I really just try to stay away from my feelings back in childhood. I think life is better when you spend it interacting with some part of society... if not all of it, in your own way... well, at least for me it is (heck, sometimes I just stay shut up in my house all day and browse the internets for hours and play Final Fantasy).

To me life seams pointless, I mean I believe that the meaning of life is to be born live, reproduce, and die.
Consider a situation, see how you feel... how would you feel about life if you were unable to reproduce?

* Would it make your life more meaningless?
* Would it make your role in life easier?
* Would it make you see that what you are is more than a link in a chain?

It's something I had to consider many years ago, even though I had no intention of being at all involved in reproduction at the time. :P It's a certain medical condition...

To have that option in life taken away... even if you don't intend to take that option, having it taken away is still a mighty blow, somehow. And yet... eventually, after the disappointment... there's a sense of freedom? A reassurance? A lack of burden? That you are now one of a kind, a one-off, unique.

And you realise... the only legacy you will leave in this world will not be biological, it's got to be something you forge yourself. Some great effort.

The chance of me becoming pregnant is now no longer 0% and... well, frankly, it terrifies me. More than anything, it completely terrifies me.

Also... everyone else lives having similar feelings... understand it, embrace it... don't ignore it, don't block it... don't dismiss it as being irelevant to the universe... I think what is important in life is... experiencing life. Using your senses. All those emotions of yours; they're there reminding you you're alive.

Yes, there may be nothing for you tomorrow. Tomorrow you may never be concious. Tomorrow may bring you *less than black*. Tomorrow you may be decaying meat.

That's why you need to live your life to full potential. Not the reason you shouldn't bother!

Live because you can!

As I look at it now, parent hood would be both a burden and a blessing, knowing that I'll have someone to carry on with my family tree. Yet the idea to support a child is something I can't see myself doing. I understand responsibility, and I take it with the great seriousness, but from past experiences I don't think I'm ready for it. I know I have a long way to go, but the thought always haunts me.

As for enjoying myself, that is the whole motivation behind leaving the internet. I believe it's the cause for so much grief, and lack of motivation. But at the same time, it's an addiction and something I can't easily pull myself away from. I've taken many interesting classes in college, but I just find myself bored to death without any ideas on what to create. I'm stuck playing tetras for no particular reason.

However My dad has tolled me over and over that "Work is the Salvation", if you're feeling down and bored, go to work, do something. I work at a Grocery Store and I enjoy working their more then anything I've been doing lately. Recently however, they haven't been scheduling me for a decent amount of work hours. I've applied to many jobs for extra work, and I'm waiting for them to call me.

I use to think that education was more important then work, but now that I have a car and my medical insurance expired due to my age, I'm stuck with so many debts. plus I want to get a new car.

My love life is basically the last thing on my mind, though it should be closer to the top.

I live for the simple reason that I refuse to die. As long as I have my body and mind, I'll always pursue to strengthen both and increase overall knowledge. And since you can't do that while dead, well, the only other option is to live, which is a thing I will go to great lenght to insure.

That said, my signature says it all.

Also I do want to make a name for myself one day but if I can't do that then living happily with my girlfriend for the rest of my days is all the motivation I need to keep on keepin' on.

forgetting the problems of the day regardless of that fact that you are going to have to face them again once the next day approaches

I find the opposite to be the healthiest approach to life: to face everything and to be in control of everything (and being able to face and accept the things one can't control). I only reach satisfaction if I face everything, not if I run away.

Also, life is beautiful, 'nuff said. There's lots of nice stuff here, like tea with jam and clam chowder.

While in essence, I agree with some of what you say, I'd say that life isn't always going to be enjoyable. You're going to be mixing **** times with good times, so I think it's better to be able to adapt yourself and make the most out of different situations (not necessarily savouring all of them with hedonistic joy), rather than trying to enjoy every moment (which is not really possible, especially when e.g. you start working).

Anything that you do is either something you enjoy or something you do in order to be able to do something you enjoy in my philosophy. Work is satisfying at best, and at worst it just allows you the resources you need to get to do the good stuff. If you notice, I said that the time in which we are alive has the potential to be enjoyable. I didn't say that it is realistic to get to realize that potential all of the time, but it doesn't sound like Yukimura Sanada is finding any of his life enjoyable right now. That completely blows, and I don't understand it at all. Everyone should be able to find at least some aspect of their life enjoyable, or... they just aren't trying.

I've had ten surgeries, and work out to treat my depression. Does that mean I shouldn't enjoy life? Hell, no.

I get up and keep moving because I want to get things done and enjoy my life instead of falling into the common traps that lead people to believe that life is a struggle with few bright spots. I've already been through hell physically and personally. I'm going to do what I can to make my mark on this world. That's what keeps me going.

Ok, I admit, I'm a coward, I think too much about how things will hurt me more then I think about how much I might enjoy them. ever since I was a little kid I've always had a strong intolerance for physical pain and mental pain. I was the kid everyone picked on because I couldn't make a snappy come back, and some times I'd even laugh spontaneously at insults thrown at me, like I was a part of the group. I've always figured I had some mental disorder. The doctor assumed I had ADHD, and I've been on Ritalin for 85% of my life, I was never a straight A student, and I had to pull tooth and nail to get through high school. Right now I feel like someone could lecture me all day, and I couldn't have heard a single word. I've had so many screw ups that it's become a mental issue, as if every step I take will bring the world down on me. so what people tell me I'm no good at, I'm already aware, I'm just making slow attempts to find something I'm good at.

So go ahead and tell me, what's your motivation to keep going on with your life, and move on to bigger and better things?Those are two different questions...

1. What's your motivation to keep going on with your life?
- For me, it's the sheer fear of death. I don't like it. I'm an atheist at heart, and ceasing to exist isn't a good thing to me.

Other than that, though, there is nothing that motivates me to keep living really. I realize that everything is transitory - love, happingess, sadness, pain, loneliness, joy...it all passes, so there is nothing lasting to look forward to.

That's not to say that I don't enjoy the happiness and laughter as it passes - they are the bright spots, and are to be treasured...but they pass quickly, so they cannot be depended upon. Only a fool tries to fix his hopes to the mist.

2. What's your motivation to move on to bigger and better things?
Define "bigger" or "better".

If it is material success, I will admit that it can make life more comfortable (money brings air conditioning, which everyone must agree is an improvement in life X3), but it does not guarantee happiness (nothing can, really), so it does not motivate me...

If it is recognition/fame....that is VERY transitory, and is like wearing a paper suit - you might look sharp to begin with, but you're going to have to work very, VERY hard to keep it intact, and even then, it isn't very comfortable.

I guess I'm just more of a "status quo" person than a "bigger and better" person - give me some A/C, decent food/drink, and some anime, and I'm good...

Well...
I lost a lot of friends,
Cousins, aunt, uncles, kinda all hate each other now (after a tragic event),
Parents are split up,
lost my childhood pet recently

my motivation?

...well my motivation is to stay alive for those who are close to me,
There has been so many times i've been depressed and often wondered whats the point?
but I don't want to put a of sadness burden on those who knows me, and tried to help me and try to lead me to success
I refuse to let depression and sadness to pull me down, after everyone i know put their love and dedication to support me.

My motivation is not for me, its for everyone else.

Thats my motivation i guess.

Really, my main motivation to live is that there are tons of things I haven't done that I want to do. I suppose if I ever get them all done, rather than become old and slow I'll choose the time of my death.

Furthermore, I don't want to die without having seen Rush live at least once.

-owning a brownstone in Brooklyn Heights.

D: Are you rich? That's one of the ritziest places in Brooklyn I know. Nice spot to watch the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks too.


...my motivation?


I've never been kissed in my life. When it happens I will probably say "HOLY **** IT'S FINALLY OVER!" and blow my brains out.

Maybe you should wait as long as me. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 23. I would've had it at 14 but the guy turned out to be a real douchebag though. At least I had it with a very special guy...

My motivation?

LARTS and overvolted Tazers onto lusers, people who don't know how to use their phones, Apple fanboys, and people who can't read road signs. EDIT: oh, and the fat guy on the tram that started shouting "Are there any australias cause i f*****g can't see any" followed by a litany of racial slurs,

Feel the love :)

I've wished deaths on 47 people today, and wished that the fat guy on tram gets a anal raping with a spiked bat. how many have you wished for? I'd better be getting that Death Note and Excalibog for christmas....

Is this a disquised emo thread?

I take offense to this. Curiosity brother, that's all it is.
