How Do You Get Motivation?

[Nomad]

People need motivation, without motivation, you do not have the zeal to do things. However, you need to understand external motivation can give you a temporary push, but true motivation comes from within. When you’re pursuing something big, like starting a business, self-driven ambition is what keeps you going when things get tough. While it's great to get advice from mentors, friends, or experienced professionals, you must really want it yourself to succeed.

My motivation would be sky rocketed had my health return. It almost has and you'll never believe how much programming I plan on doing when my health does finally return. A real way to get me doing all kinds of stuff that will pay off.

But yes motivation is what a lot of people lack for a lot of things they'd be doing if they have it. Some of it in my opinion is due to smoking pot. It causes people not to care. I don't smoke it myself but did in my teenage years.

I agree. Your motivation has to come from within - mine comes from going through a near-death experience and then completely recovering.
