changed my motivation and suddenly I feel better?

[SuchIsLife]

So I used to have the motivation of money and success and it got me nowhere, every time something was hard I'd give up. But when I changed it, suddenly my life improved. Just wondering why is this? Is it because money isn't a good motivator?

Only you can conclude that, but perhaps it's because you stopped worrying so much about someone else's idea of fulfillment and started thinking more about your own happiness.

It might be a motivator for someone else, it might not be a motivator for you. But it might be a motivator for you in another time

@YaNanNallari Hey, so you are trying to say it's not something that really motivated me in the first place? It's weird because it did motivate me for a short time but then I quickly gave up. But changing it, I don't give up.

@SuchIsLife What we see as great changes from time to time. Someone without money will think a job is the most important thing ever and have great motivation for it. Someone who has a lot of money won't think the same as easily about a bad job. So our motivations change depending on what we lack, how our personality is etc. Things we want to do also change over time.
