What motivates you?

I’m just like anyone else. The vast majority of my “motivations” are going to be the same as the next person.

Need to eat? Find food. Can food be easily acquired? Eat. Costs money? Pay. Need money? Work. And so on.

Too simple of an approach to this prompt? Well, maybe, but I didn’t want to overlook those basic motivations because to a certain extent they are what propels us all.

If you’re looking at this prompt and thinking more about life goals and achievements, then I can dive in a bit deeper.

Wants and desires. Or lack thereof.

Professionally, I don’t crave attention, nor have any aspirations/drive to climb the corporate ladder. So my motivations for work are simple. Keep my job so that I can maintain a steady income to pay my bills and feed me. I’ve found a comfortable and safe position to be in, and have no desire to climb higher.

Personally, I WOULD like to be a published author someday. That’s part of what is motivating me to write this blog. I know some of my shortcomings are related to habits and consistency, so I’m working to fix them, but that takes time.

So, in general, my motivations are fairly simple.
