Motivation, positivity

What motivates you, what keeps you going. What helps you get to where you want?

Nothing anymore. I've reached a point where I've just about given up. A lot of people are motivated by motivational speeches on YouTube, others are motivated by fear of failure and rejection, others are motivated by past success and momentum.

One thing we know in psychology is that willpower runs out: if you keep yourself from taking a donut that a co-worker brought to work for everyone, that willpower is depleted from other areas of your life. For example you might find it harder to resist that slice of cake in your fridge at home.

@EastAfrique I've reached that point too. However I know I don't like donuts. Seriously though, there's many a time I don't want to wake up. But we're both here, something ticks over and it's not just willpower. Survival? Credibility? Think it just needs to remember the inner demons are not the only voices and trust in yourself, doesn't half hurt my head but must surely be worth it.
