what is your motivation?

I don't know really. I basically look forward to everything that's going to be good about that day

 

To get up in the morning, that something exciting or new might happen. But life and such? I'm still looking for it.

 

I love what I do. And in doing that, I'm preparing for a job that's perfect for me. And there are a million and one tiny, beautiful things in each day. And I am loved.

But if I need help getting going in life. I have a list of all things I love (asiago bagels, statues of historical figures, lemon poppy seed muffins, complicated philosophical arguments, pretty eyes....there are hundreds of things on the list) and if I encounter even a couple of them, the day is worth any effort required.

 

My burning desire to always want to exercise my body, smell and drink beautiful tasting, fresh coffee, first thing in the morning; and to just enjoy everything about life, for another glorious day that I have the privilege to live for, and enjoy.

 

Right now the only thing keeping me going is the fact that the Trans* youth group I go to is meeting this Tuesday. Otherwise, I think the Dysphoria would beat me.

 

What keeps me going? Well, I think it's the future. I hate school, so I keep going by thinking of the fresh start at Uni, My future career in genetics and my happy life with the girl of my dreams.

I just tell myself that it gets better, and the rest is easy.

 

A few things
looking to the future
loving something you do
seeing the end result
spending time with someone you fancy the arse off

 

My job, school, my friends, my family and my future, always.
Though things might seem shitty at times, I always remind myself that it's going to get better as time goes, and that bad situations are only temporary.

 

Nothing. I feel like complete shit today and I can't get it out of me.

 

Not fully sure; maybe just the sense that something great could happen that day or that my whole future is still ahead of me. I have so much that can be done to better myself and to help people around me all in the time I'm awake.

Sometimes I'm too lazy though to get out of bed on the weekends

 

On school days: my friends. The thought of them smiling at me when I walk up to them is enough to get me out of my bed early.

On other days: nothing really. That's why I often stay in bed till 3pm :lol:

 

My drive every day is to get one step closer to being in the correct body. I make myself go to work knowing that the extra money I earn goes towards transitioning out of this strange guy I'm trapped in. Every day he tries to hold me back with dysphoria and his male limitations. I'm sick of how tries to control every aspect of who I am and how I am accepted in society. He has owned my soul and claimed my life for 27 years; but now I am driven every day to take what is left of my years alive back from him. I want to one day look in the mirror and see myself staring back; then I want to look at his picture and tell him that he is finally dead to the world in my own voice. That is how I now motivate myself to overcome dysphoria and get through a day.

 

Lately, graduation and the fear of failure. If I don't do well now, it will haunt me for the rest of my life.

That being said, back to studying!

 

Honestly... I have no idea what motivates me to get out of bed in the morning. I think it's because I have to most days...

 

I now get up literally only to pass the time.

 

I'm a constant people pleaser. If I haven't done at least one thing that makes somebody happy during the course of a day, then I feel bad. My motivation is making sure I'm happy by making sure that other people are happy.

 

I try not to think about that. I think if I did it'd end in suicide.

 

Me? Coming home after school (excluding weekends) and gaming. Nothing much else...

 

If you're going through hell, keep going.
