    What motivates you in life? I used to be motivated few years ago but now that im getting older I just don't have that drive anymore

  2. I'd also like to know, I've got the very same exact problem like you
     
  3. The only thing that motivates me is when I make small, attainable goals. I then have that which I want to accomplish and am motivated to work towards those goals. One example is my goal of forming the habit of no porn which takes a full month. I have 2 more weeks to go and am motivated by that goal to keep going and not search for or view any sexual stuff online!

  5. A promisse to keep the plan i made with someone very close to me.

    The Fight for a Better Future.

    Prove them wrong!

    Being a Virgin at 28! - Love Making ( Having Sex, I hate to call it that ) only when you succeed! It motivates the hell out of you, The Animalistic Dangerous Specie - Known.as The Homosapian! - Love Making ( Sex ) only when.you Succeed in Life. ~ With the One!

    Testing my limits to the Max.

    NoFap - For life - Also motivates me to become the best version myself.

    The Fight of Today for My Family and my Future Wife ( That I still haven't met yet! ).

    I want to be respect by my Father ( R.I.P ) and Mother ( R.I.P ) and by myself and by my future children. Honor is everything in my Life.

    What motivates me in life is the ability to create the life I want for myself and my family, to become the best version of myself, it's all thanks to God however, I can't take any credit.

    If you want to be motivated, ask God to reveal to you what you are supposed to be doing. It's going to come with alot of growth and self improvement on your end, it's not a lazy relationship where you sit back and get everything handed to you.

    God helps those who help themselves the best they can.

    I think what's important to keep in mind is that its not always a lack of motivation, but rather that your motivation is in the wrong direction. I think it's fair to say most of us are/have been motivated to pmo at some point. That doesn't mean we actually wanted it but our brain was clearly pointed in that direction. When you chase pleasure to reduce suffering, that reduced suffering leads to motivation going elsewhere. Because if it doesn't bother you enough, you're not gonna change, your brain sees no reason to and it's not completely wrong either. As long as you're temporarily satisfied thats good enough to teach the mind "okay, so this is what we do when things start to bother us). It's like david goggins says, it needs to bother you. It's not about what you want, its about what your values are. If you reframe something and turn into a value, a virtue, then it becomes a bit easier to follow through with it despite the suffering, despite how you feel.
