• Feeling in control of what I'm doing: Being able to pause whatever it is that I'm doing when I want to, and if I want to (if the task(s) I'm involved in can be paused, that is). The sense of "smoothness" involved is probably the main factor in inspiring motivation, for me.

• Learning about a new subject, skill, or trying something new: The change is mostly what holds my interest, and subsequently motivates me to learn more. However, for subjects that I'm already interested in enough, novelty doesn't become an issue.

• Helping people, especially when they ask for it: I think that is mainly because it involves a sense of achievement, particularly due to the feeling that what I did was useful.

These are the main factors that motivate me (there are others too, but they aren't as notable as the ones above).
Cool. Sounds healthy.

That's an interesting article.

I had trouble relating to it right from the beginning, though. My Netflix queue is always empty and most of the described behaviors aren't ones that I relate with.

Do you find it sometimes? Something that sweeps you away in awe-struck inspiration and caring?

To this day I honestly still don't know what mtoivates me to exist, sometimes I don't even have any motivation to exist at all. I guess I'm currently in the process of tryin' to figure that one out. :/

Black Tower. Cheap and good. My two favorite things. Also, Pinot Noir has the highest concentration of resveratrol of any wine, so you can pretend you're protecting yourself against radiation, cancer, heart disease and diabetes while you get drunk.

Personally speaking, the more I learn about certain people and their lives, the more I am motivated. And I mean motivated in a very broad sense.
