What keeps you going day after day?

Warren Buffett used to quip that every day when he wakes up, he tap dances to work.

What keeps you positively going day after day and what do you do to keep that motivation and discipline growing? 🙄

My case :

1. God and true Faith, otherwise I will ditch everything.

2. Passion and big mission : you probably never going to stop.

3. Helping people: when you give more you receive more. Karma, not the Indian crap 😉

Hello everyone 🤣

motivation is something built in living organisms - the desire to survive and thrive is the essence of life (as a phenomena/structure temporarily resisting entropy in a short period of time)

humans evolved to the only animals that support (and often basically create) individuals that can successfully survive and procreate doing nothing in the account of others

I know I didn't answer your question but it's hard to resist to point out some questions are too anthropocentric 😉

All POV are welcome! 😉

I think René Girard decoded desire very well.

Motivation eventually fades, instinct and habits are what really drive humans and all other animals.
If you build good habits (which are all related to health - mental and physical), every day is a good day!

His theory of desire is crap (like about everything he wrote).
For example, it is evident that not all desires come from outside the individual, as he claims. Take hunger, sexual attraction, intellectual curiosity, love of music etc.

Party true but Girard never denied biological drives. His point was that humans imitate desires far more than they realize.

There is a reason Peter Thiel, one of his former students, took his ideas very seriously. I don’t like Peter Thiel but he is not stupid.
