What motivates you?

What emotion motivates you in the crunch moment, when you want to achieve something in life? Not day-to-day motivation. But when it really matters.

Everyone has that emotion. That feeling. It’s often not easily described in one word.

For some, it’s the rush of social acceptance or recognition. For others it’s the craving to test yourself, earn money or help someone.

I was tapping into that feeling this evening and I caught myself in the act. I thought to myself, “what is the feeling I am tapping into here…what is fuelling me right now?”.

I took a moment to reflect. For me it was the burning desire to prove someone wrong. That someone could be ‘people’, a particular person or just ‘someone’. I’m not sure. But that was the emotion.

In one word, what motivates me is Defiance. What motivates you?
