Of course, taking my Adderall helps me focus and gives me a chemcial motivation that I desperately need.

Sometimes nothing. Sometimes, everything. I think I'm motivated by love and finance mostly. I'm struggling to find motivation right now.

My son. Even when I'm flat out on the couch, he makes me want to do better.

Pretty much that, although I don't really have any motivation right now.

Passion. Helping others. Joy. Inspirational words or music. Love.

Thinking of people I look up to, because I don't want to disappoint them.
My goals motivate me, too. I have really big career aspirations and I know I have to work hard to get there.
