    As title says what keeps you motivated or damn right dedicated?

    You truck? Working? School?


    I go to school full time and Volunteer at the local FD, my family bought me my truck for x-mas as long as I keep good grades.

    I usually maintain a 3.0 and higher.

    So my truck keeps me motivated to keep on trucking when I feel like procrastinating.

    I try to work out but cant keep motivated enough for that lol!!!!


    So what keeps you motivated to keep going to work or school? or working out or doing whatever it is you find you procrastinate on sometimes.

    Knowing that I only have till August and I will be done with school keeps me motivated. I have procrastinated enought and cannot wait. I feel like once I'm done with school nothing will hold me back into getting the job that I really want!

    for school, knowing it will give me a much better life for me and my family.
    and going to school in the city helps cause you get to see what could happen if you do not finish and get a good job after. keeps my head up and makes me work harder on doing the best i can.

    Sex and a paycheque. Everything else is superfluous.

    So long as I get laid on a regular and frequent basis and I'm pulling at least 50K a year, the world could burn as far as I'm concerned.

    Put kayaking at the front of that list and you've got me.

    I'm in the boat 150+ days a year and I am an increasingly tortured soul until I get back to the river.

    Besides my GF everything in my life centers on getting back to boating, and now that she is getting the bug that's starting to lean that way too.

    You're going to pass college with vocabulary like that? Do you really need college to be a construction worker and make a bank? How do you know you'll even be on that project? Maybe you'll be constructing those shitty public washrooms.

    You know...the ones they engineer so they can just clean them out with a fire hose.
