Failures, Frustrations and depressions make us weak, but what is your best motivation to keep you going?

    Well I don't necessarily agree that failures make us weak. Yes they can be hard at the time, but failure ultimately makes us stronger. If we all sailed through everything, I doubt we'd end up seeing what was truly possible.

    As for motivation to keep me going, well sometimes it's a desire to make sure that the inevitable failures and tough times end up being worth it. But in general I try to remember to live life in the NOW and do things I enjoy every day (even if it's something small, like eating something nice). In the long term, my motivation is to make a difference to the world.

    To have financial freedom and high quality lifestyle. I agree that failure makes you stronger.. it's important to keep learning and getting yourself back up when stuff knocked you down.. I focus on the big picture and never let little things on the side get the best of me.

    Actually Jason those negative emotions built more power in me than any positive frame of mind. Sure, I don't seek them out as motivators but adversity fuels a fire prosperity could never form.

    there could be so many things. Failure, people who don't believe in me, money...

    Though, I could honestly say, that leaving my mark, not on the world, but on people, is what motivates me. Having a smiling wife, and being happy mentally/emotionally, is what drives me. Money can come and go, but happiness within and bringing happiness to others, that will never go away.

    My best motivation is learning. Every time when I was down, not having a work to do, not having money for living, I would learn something new, and was able to offer more and better services. Every time, absolutly every time, I got a new client instantly after learning that something (usually programming, SEO etc.) and move on. So I developed great love for learning. I have so much less fear and stress because I know if I have the knowledge I will never be hungry.

    The main difference between the hugely successful and those who drift from day to day wondering why their life is so cr**py.
    It is not talent.
    It is not background.
    Not sex.
    Not intelligence.
    It Is Action.

    Therein lies my motivation, and also my motivator as one day I may not be able to take action?

    So better get it done now.....

    Someone once told me that, when you fail (not if)...make certain that the failure is SO GREAT and SO PAINFUL, that you will move heaven and earth to keep from ever repeating it.

      haha i heared that one too,

      Anthony Robbins emphasizes a lot with pain and pleasure, if you link pain in whichever bad habit your doing and reinforce it with a alternative. and condition it, you make a life long change.
