What's your motivation?

I'm not preachy or pious, the goal of being a Christian is not to shove your beliefs down people's throats. The majority of people who claim to be Christians really don't understand how to be one, and often end up being either judgmental and/or hypocritical. I simply live the way I believe God wants me to according to His word, and hope that people will see that I'm different and possibly want it for themselves. If people ask why I live the way I do, that's when I explain my beliefs, etc.

Not referring to you...but 90% of the Christians that I have met have tried to shove their beliefs down my throat, were very judgmental, contradicted themselves a lot, were very hypocritical, or simply using Christianity so that they won't burn in Hell if God wound up being real. Again, not referring to you. I just thought I would point that out.

Also, I don't mind that God is your motivation. Everyone has their own motivation. ^_^

According to this psychology textbook, my motivations consist of huger, thirst, and sex.

... Pretty broad, if you ask me. xD

Where that book probably received some inspiration off of Sigmund Freud. The Oedipus and Electra complex are also similar to the base intention for all is truly sex.

[font="Times New Roman"][color="#FF8C00"]God motivates me, but my mom, and my teachers motivate me as well. Considering I don't have many goals to be motivated to, this really isn't a good question for me.[/color][/font]

My motivation varies in situations I guess.

In band competitions, it's the willingness to do the best one can do while on the field, and improve for the future. The need to succeed is my motivation.
In general life, Jesus and my parents are my motivation. I want to do the best that I can for them everyday.
When I'm writing, music and reading are my motivation. The subjects in the music are perfect ideas for poetry, and I base my writing off what I read and/or hear.

My motivation is the neat gun that I make when the science gets done.

Although I thought the goal of many religions was to treat others the way you want to be treated.

As a Christian, it is part of what I do. Being a jerk isn't exactly a good way to make someone interested in your beliefs.

Unfortunately, real Christians are a minority.

Oh goodness, my biggest motivation? When I fall for someone. Sounds ridiculous, yeah, I know. But I'm in the game of love to win it. And I have to say, the girl I'm crushing on has really got me to believe that if you really want something, you truly can work hard to achieve it in the long run. She has taught me never to give up on someone, because in time, it'll all be worth it.

When I see that people appreciate my work.
...Needless to say, I don't have much motivation on this site anymore.
But at least I discovered the greatness of the ignore button.<3

...I am motivated by food and generally love.
And my family/background, when I think about the effort that went all the way through. But I don't plan to talk about things, most people make their own mind movie anyway.~

Every time I start to lose motivation I remember all the science to do. And you should never cry over every little mistake. Just keep trying. (Until you run out of cake.)

Yeah, 'cause then the science gets done, and you make a neat gun for the people who're still alive.
