Me too. I strive to be happy.

Past couple years I dont know what that is. No longer sex. Not video games. Damn sure isnt being nice and helping other people.
I think I may need some drugs to find out.

Isn't this a repost from a few weeks ago? This is more open ended of a version anyway. I think I'm motivated by the want to be independant, in all facets that one can be.

For me it is just remembering to take a step back from time to time and look at the big picture. People tend to become so focused on one thing. job or career , they miss out on a lot. I often use the mental image of what a man sitting in front a shack in the middle of some jungle somewhere is worried about compared to what I am worrying about. Life is a lot of fun once you take a deep breath and relax, the motivation becomes to just live life to the fullest.

Right now, the possibility of getting out of the cold rainy city (Seattle) and back into the warm sunny country (see username).

The chance to get out my parent's basement so I can get a pet and maybe even a date. :(

that's pretty shitty motivation

If I get anything shitty I'm probably doing something wrong.

The prospect of a (healthy) long-term relationship.
and, to a much lesser degree,
Being useful to other people in an efficient manner, regardless of whether or not they appreciate it (public service).
