Biggest Motivation Of People, By People

It was when I decided to put people’s achievement in one particular place and it was when I decided to share it with others and inspire them as well.

Sara Lyndon Frank I wouldn’t be another sad statistic. I grew up in severe domestic violence and child abuse. I never gave up, I never gave in, I was going to beat the odds no matter what. And that's what I did, and what I continue to do every day:)I strive to be different and beat the statistics.

Johnny EveretteComing to know Christ 2 years ago. Before then, I did genuinely believe I was a Christian, but my actions and how I lived my life easily proved otherwise. I was looking for self value in trying to get a girlfriend, which involved me trying too hard toimpress girls, and often would ruin the friendship because of it. In the months before my salvation, I was depressed with my lack of self worth and the guilt I felt for how I treated those girls. I have never been closer to committing suicide than I was in those days. Since my salvation, my life has become so much better and more meaningful than I ever thought possible. I have been able to look at my past and my present through God’s eyes more and more over time. And, just truly realizing how for all the times I have turned my back on Him, He never once turned His back on me. And that He is what gives my life value: nothing else.

Savarna LeakeI didn't want to be sad all of the time anymore, about 4 months before I met my current partner my emotionally abusive ex broke up with me. When I met my current partner my mental and emotional health improved but it still was not good, but after a year with my partner I decided that I didn't want to be sad or put have him see how sad I was anymore and have worked so hard to improve my health, it still is not where I want it to be but I am so much happier and I am not sad daily.

Elyse Joan2016 was my biggest motivation. I was treated like a doormat to certain people that I no longer speak to. I was tired of being treated like trash by the very people that were supposed to be in my corner, sick of the suicidal thoughts, and feeling likeeverything that went wrong in the older adult life was my fault.This motivated me to finally stand up for myself and has made me realize that I never needed these toxic good for nothing's. Things have been a bit of a struggle, but I am slowly getting there and getting better than ever.

Sarah HagerI've been in a slump lately and have been doing a lot of introspection and soul searching, trying to figure out what motivates me and what I want the rest of my life to look like.

Up until a few years ago my main motivation was other people. Specifically pleasing other people and doing what was expected of me, because I was (and still am) *absolutely terrified* of being labelled a failure.A disappointment.I thought that if I could just live up to other people's expectations of the road my life should take then I would be successful and happy. Turns out that road has brought me nothing but crippling self-doubt and worry and is one of the big things factoring into my current slump; I did all these "tried and true" things to succeed, *why am I still not satisfied??*

When I dropped out of college in 2015 it started a journey inward. I withdrew from the outside world and started sorting out WHY I'd felt so trapped in an art school when a career in the arts was supposedly my dream. And I realized...a career in the arts was never really MY dream. I don't even know what MY dream is, come to think of it. I think I'd come to that realization shortly before I dropped out, but the thought of abandoning ship when I'd come so far and everyone was so supportive was more horrible than the thought of just toughing it out and graduating, right up until lying to myself became unbearable and the idea wasn't so horrible after all.

My motivation now is to get better. Improve my self-esteem, not give a single flying fuck what other people think about me (because I've more than likely said the same and worse about myself), and to not be conned into compromising my convictions (or myself) just to satisfy other people. It's a slow process, but I feel I'm doing better than I was when a single critique or insult would destroy me for the rest of the week.
