It depends on where you are. 

 It doesn't matter 'where', but 'how' is important. Eight billion people are living on planet Earth and have different hopes and desires. 

 Correct. That’s why it’s not the same thing that motivates me if I live in the United States, South America or the Middle East. I think we all have an intrinsic desire to be able to decide to live as we want, and that motivates us to do what is necessary.

I always watch videos like this and think we can stay motivated with simple things if we want, but unfortunately, our brains need something big for motivation. 

 I've seen this one before, but I still LOVE it! 😂 

 I searched the original of this song. It relates "Boney M" group. I like it 😍 

 I did the same thing the first time I saw this. It's a fun jam. 

 The human spirit is boundless.  I will be in a good mood all day just because of these kids. 

 Because the alternative is being a bitch.

Every time I don't do something I'm supposed to do, I lose a little bit of my self-respect and confidence. 

It's all downstream from there - maybe I won't ask a girl out, maybe I won't present my new idea at work, maybe I won't ask for a pay raise.

I often ask myself "What will really fail me in life?", "What will really make me miserable and full of regret?", "If I continue on this path, where will I be in 5 years? 10 years?".

I never got into watching Tony Robins and all these con artists that charge insane amounts for seminars.

What does it for me is - what is the fucking alternative. And I've come to the conclusion that the pain of not doing the thing I'm supposed to do far exceeds the pain of doing the thing. 

 That are still many people that I love to explain #bitcoin and #nostr and hopefully convice them to commit 

 Technically there two substances that keep you motivated, serotonin and dopamine. Gotta keep their level high, regular physical activity and exercise helps a lot.
