One of the moments in my life where I was very motivated was when I got a task at work I had no experience and no knowledge about. I wanted to do a good job so I learned as much as I could. It was tough but also fun and rewarding at the end.

@amiablePeace77 I think I felt the most motivated when I started college. I was in a new place and it was a new chapter in my life. I felt like I had the world in my hands and that I could do anything :)
@fruityPond7887
It depends on the motivation, doesn't it? It could be fear, anger, love, curiosity, competition....
I was motivated to take some exams, see a doctor, protect myself from assault, buy my mother her favourite flowers while coming back from school, buy stuff, go to certain concerts, join a choir, play at Irish music sessions, move back to France, adopt a dog.... the list is long!
@Fradiga
Sometimes bad things that happen motivate us do good things for ourselves. Sorry to hear about your assault. Nice though that you have so many things to get motivated!
@amiablePeace77
I was assaulted a few times but..... so far, so good. I had one bruise and nothing else. One of them was mugging, but I was SO riled up I got respect. My mother as well once faced a mugger and had the same reaction. I fought back and escaped on those occasions.
@Fradiga
Seems you scared them off!
Glad nothing more happened to you Fradiga! I hope no one will ever assault you again.
@amiablePeace77
From your keyboard to God's eyes!
@Fradiga I agree that motivation can be associated with different situations and I think each is different depending on the goal at hand. I am glad you have so much motivation in life though! ❤️
@amiablePeace77 What was one of your moments where you felt most motivated?
When I first became a listener I wanted to listen to everyone.
@soulsings
:D Poor you! I hope you feel better now!
@soulsings This was me too! I was so excited when I joined Cups that I would listen for hours at a time well into the night 😂
@amiablePeace77
One thing that motivates me most is to learn new things. I always strive to look at anything new e.g. new information or skill such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Training). Make it a point to read and learn as much as I can.
@crystalclearnow
Nice that you show so much interest in learning new skills! I believe EFT can be very helpful, I used to do it, thanks for the reminder, might try it again tonight.
@amiablePeace77
That’s great. Keen to learn the skill.
@crystalclearnow. I could not agree more. The trick that a lot of people miss is that curiosity is what drives some of us into learning and accepting what changes or what cannot be changed. I find that people who resist are generally more unhappy.
I was always the most motivated when people said I couldn’t do something. That’s the story of my life. I have three college degrees, published articles and books, and other accomplishments but not because I wanted them as much as I was proving so many people wrong about me. I feel like I want a “do over.” No fair. 🙁
I was highly motivated from 2003 to 2015 while working in the field of my choice.
@Gettingbettertoday what in particular was satisfying during that time?
@soulsings
The act of creation.
@amiablePeace77
I think I feel the most motivated is right now!! no one is really be there for me in real life and I learned how to handle myself but also open up!! thank you 7 cups!! since I was being a listener here I'm healing🥰🥰 but also do something that I love!! that is help people!!😆😆💜💜⭐⭐I'm so happy!!
