What Is Your Main Source of Motivation? Leave a Comment and Win a Share of SBI!

in #steembasicincome6 years ago

Hey all! My apologies, I’m two days late for making my SBI contest post for the week! I’ve been working more and also being a little more social than usual, so sue me :)

I’m pleased to announce the winners from last week; I’ve given one SBI share each to @fstateaudio, @knowhow92, and @newcryptonews1! A huge thank you to all of the people that contributed their thoughts on their preferred substances, I know that prompt was a little off the wall for some but that’s ok!

The prompt this week should be a little more universal than last weeks. I’d like to know: What is the main source of motivation in your life? It could be money, your SO, your kids, your art, your ant farm, anything. I’ve got three SBI shares that I’ll be giving out to three randomly selected commenters. Share where you get your motivation from for a chance to win a lifetime upvote!

What Is Steem Basic Income?

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.

How Will I Be Deciding Winners?

At the time of this post's payout (give or take a day), I'll assign a number to each valid comment (must share the main source of motivation in your life) and use Random.org (random number generator) to pick three Steemians to award the SBI shares to. Note: If I check your profile and you are a decidedly douchey Steemian (spammer, leech) who is unfit to be graced by the love of Steem Basic Income, you will not be awarded your shares and someone else will get nominated. I highly doubt this will be an issue :)

I’m excited to see some motivational and positive conversation in the comments! Best of luck, everyone!

One motivation is that good enough is not good enough. I'm always trying to do better, professionally and personally.

My greatest motivation ever is making my parent proud, they've really been my hero and I want to make them really proud. That's what keeps me going daily!!

Succinct and righteous, thanks for your comment! You’re on the list!

Woohoo! Thanks a bunch!

For the sake of fairness, I don't expect to be put in the running for this one, but I'll answer anyway. Since we've talked a few times, and share this interest, I bet you can guess my answer anyway. My main motivation is the urge to create, mostly music, but I dabble in other stuff too. I NEED to do it, and most of everything else I do is just to "support the habit" so to speak. With occasional breaks for video games. :)

You and I are on the same wavelength there, man. I’ve been less on my game as of late in lots of ways to be honest, mostly in terms of recording my original music. Been finding lots of fun chords lately though, and playing covers. There’s gotta be something going on daily, to satisfy the need. Taking pictures, writing words, making songs. I appreciate your drive and your style, even though I might not fully understand it sometimes :) What games are you into btw?

All the best!

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! Recently, the game I've been playing most is the new Battletech game, I'm a huge fan of that universe and the tabletop game, though it's been a long time since I've played that. I enjoy Mechwarrior Online too, though I don't play much, partly because my internet connection sucks. Pretty much anything with robots in it will catch my attention. Another fairly recent fave is The Signal From Tölva. I also really like strategy games and RPG's, Pillars of Eternity is a recent favorite there. I'm also looking forward to the new Mount & Blade game that's coming, I got pretty obsessed with the first two. :)

Cheers!

Very cool of you to have this contest @k0wsk1 — big fan of SBI here!

My main motivation? Took a bit of thinking about, actually... diving beneath the surface layers. I guess my main motivation is wanting to somehow leave each person and place I encounter just a little better or more positive as a result of my having been there. Yeah, that's about it. Yeah, there are things I like but they are all informed by that underlying motivation.

=^..^=

Very cool response @curatorcat, and I just want to say that I’m a big fan of your blog :D I’ve never seen a cat take on such a persona online, not to mention, Steem is confusing to humans! How you became so adept at Steem as a kitty is beyond me.

Anyways, keep doing your thing, rubbing up on legs, meowing at the door, and clicking the upvote button with your gracious paw! You’re in!

My primary source that motivates me to live my life is my family. I think it's my turn to give back for all the sacrifices that they had made for me.

Thank you so much for hosting this!

Thank you so much for hosting this!

Awesome response - it’s easy to forget the sacrifices that our elders make for us. It’s my pleasure, you’re in!

Thank you so much!

Since i 'm able to wake up and live one more day, see and hug my beloved ones , turn my look to the sky and enjoy this miracle for one more day by saying "thanks" for being able to do that one more day. This is my everyday motivation !

Beautiful. Today is always the first day of the rest of your life, and gratitude perpetuates happiness. You’re certainly entered @giosou, thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the opportunity !

My main source of motivation is my God-the owner and creator of all living and non-living. Everytime life gets a little bit wavy or shall I say blurry, I am more pursuant to push myself because I know my God has given me a mission here on earth. A mission that I know is worth fighting and living for.

Awesome! I don’t know them myself, but I’m glad you’ve found your calling there. What would you say that mission is, specifically? You’re entered regardless btw, thanks for stopping by :)

I just made a new account but I would say my followers motivate me to be the best I can be.

By the way this is @tornadoman and this is a bot I created

Right on man! I’m not gonna nominate a bot, but I can enter @tornadoman if you’d like. Cheers!

My main source of motivation is learning, knowing and doing new stuff. It's like every time I do something new, my brain sends big amounts of motivation and endorphins.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You are certainly not alone, expanding your horizons is exhilarating :) Great response, you’re in!

It's a bit cliche, I acknowledge, but my kiddo has become a major source of motivation to get up in the morning... of course he's also the primary reason I am tired, so it's a bit push-pull.

I kid. My wife and he together, and my desire to be a good fella and make it so she can sleep in and my enjoyment of hanging with my kiddo are my reasons for getting up with him in the morning when he's up at 6. It's been harder lately because of tendinitis from picking him up so much... but I'll get through this, and we'll be back to baby joy!

:) Lovely response, @improv! Thanks so much for stopping by, you’re entered!

Mi motivación, es ser siempre, portadora de la paz, de palabras de amor, de ayudar a quien lo necesite, de agradecer a quien me ayude, mi frase favorita es "Sí se puede", siempre hay que luchar por los sueños hasta hacerlos realidad, si caemos en el camino hay que levantarse y continuar, hasta alcanzar el éxito un fuerte pero cariñoso abrazo @k0wsk1

Una respuesta muy honorable @celinavisaez! Muchas gracias por tu valiosa respuesta. La mejor de las suertes para continuar brillando y traer paz.
