What's your motivation for living?

That sounds a little bleak as though you need reason to live but hey if it doesn't apply to you or you want to try to correct my thinking don't bother replying. Everyone knows life kicks you around a bit, why do you get back up? Money? A desire to be liked and surrounded by friends and family? love? I'd just like to know because it's personal to me and something that tells me bout yall. For me it's understanding. I'd like to one day have spoken to enough people from different places so I can sit down and reach a conclusion and put a face to a feeling I've forgotten. I also do not want to let my country down which is U.S.A but Brasil as well because I consider myself a representation of the American-Brasilian. So, I live for a desire to be great and maintain control over my emotions and time. Yall?

My motivation resides on my faith and my family. We've being through a lot of hardships and my position, how blessed I am, doesn't let me act selfishly enough. It is a good thing, it makes me study hard and push some barriers to reach goals people my age haven't. I want to someday be able to protect them, to give them a better life but it is not only that. Since I've been living under a regime that's lasted for 15 years of my life and it's currently maintaining, I want to be as powerful as I can be to gain freedom. To move willingly anywhere I want, getting all sorts of experiences. Those are my goals. That's also why I can't have anyone by my side that'd only bring me down.

My motivation would be wanting to know what my future is like, will i have a family of my own? Will i be successful, or happy at all? Its like legit the only thing that keeps me going...that and everyone thats close to me Take away the two and i really dont care if i live or die tbh as dark as it sounds XD cause yeah life sucks bit why give up if you never know if it gets better? Your robbing yourself of happiness that may possibly come if you just give up so i rather live on and see if it gets better rather to give up now and maybe in the future im some millionaire loved be everyone that can get along with everyone (which i doubt) but you never know life hits you with pretty much anythinf and everything

Excellent answers. Makes me feel more relatable to yall behind this screen. I agree with ya Panda-kun on the you never know idea. My life seems to jump around like I'm living a bunch of dreams mushed together. I think that's where I struggle to maintain a focus point. I don't think life sucks really It's more that I'm not pushing myself to see the bright aspects. & @Mariahaise That's really deep. Thanks for sharing. I'm also from that same starting point.. I feel like since I had it rough I have to make sure my little sister lives a normal life. Power is good if you got it, bad when it's someone else. I worry about myself for my goals first, but I know my goals will end up helping other people. You'll be able to do anything though if you stick with that discipline.

My motivation is to do something that can express my thoughts and views about the society to people, even if they consider me crazy, and to help animals & nature. ...and to find love.

there's a lot of cool shit in the world there's also a lot of hardship and unfair fucked up things but there's a lot to appreciate

Well I don't really have a reason and neither do I wish to end my life I simply just enjoy going with the flow that life brings and enjoy it until I grow into an old man and die
