What's your motivation?
I have been pondering this myself. Personally I do what makes me happy. That though is to be deifned in another post. If it makes me happier over-all then I do it, if it doesn't then I move on. How do you motivate yourself, guilt, revenge, honor, curiosity, hope, faith, sadness, happiness what is it?
I appologize for the large poll, but I wanted to try to accomodate as many opinions as possible. If you choose other, I am curious what that is, could you list it, it's context and why/how you came to use it?

What about lust? The only reason I take a shower and brush my teeth is so I can try to get young hot girls to sleep with me. Actually, that is the only reason I go to work- to make money to spend on young hot girls so they will sleep with me. :fluffle:

Lust was one I considered, but I figured it was similar to curiosity, just with an edge of sex drive. As for love, I categorise that as happiness. Call me crazy, but love tends to make me kind of happy, along with doing thigns out of or for love.

i don't know. wish i did tho :(
must be something cos i'm up at 5am to do a days worth of market research stuff out in the freezing cold rain...
then again i'm running late, posting here, and don't give a shit.
and i'll probably only get a move on when i'm shouted at to do so
so its probably peers/guilt, but for the most time: nothing.

I put faith/hope, as in humanity and in myself.

You shouldve put money as an option. People are more likely to be honest about their greed if you dont phrase it as such.

I've been wondering about my motivation to come to this forum as of late....
Oh, RL, well...yeah...let me look at the poll....*big ol' yawn*
Well...this is EDIT now...I dunno, some mix of all the the options, its not like I'm a one dimensional person that only operates on one level...love, lust, money, pleasure, pressure (deadlines, etc.), and other unexplainable phenomina...well, I've procrastinated going to my next class enough now, I hope I can put my house together, since its architecual drafting...but, I've done it before...ugh....
