Help me...What is your motivation?!


Question:

Help me...What is your motivation?

Hi. I am a 23 year old who is looking for some purpose.

I am a fairly bright individual, though I am by no means bragging. But I just don't get it. I have a large amount of apathy towards most everything in life. I don't even seem the point in menial tasks, like changing a burnt out light bulb or other things of the such. When I look at it, it seems very irrelevant to the grand scheme of things, whether I comb my hair one day, or anything else of the sort.

My girlfriend says I'm lazy. I don't think I am, though.

So anyone out there want to tell me what makes them go through life? What makes you want to get a degree in college or work 50 hours a week at your job? Or even, what makes you want to get out of bed on your days off (where you have nothing planned)?


Answers:

Setting goals for yourself will give you something to wake up out of bed for.

The basic steps on the ladder of motivation are (if I remember correctly):

Survival

Shelter

Love

Belonging

Self-Actualization

Some people strive for happiness. Some people want to find ways to help others.

People get a degree in college and work 50 hours a week because they need the money for food and shelter. They also might need to take care of their loved ones. People work for survival.
