What did you guys do to stay motivated when you feel that life has nothing to offer?

Complete financial Independence and all the freedom in the world to do whatever I want is what keeps me motivated. Create an image of what you think would be a happy life your you and work towards that. I find that, for me, a life full of money to do whatever I want, (and to do whoever I want ;] ) along with a house where I can put all my stuff in, whether they be cars, collectible items, home theater, home gym, etc., Is a pretty awesome life.

That might not be for everybody, maybe people just want to travel the world, others live minimally, but what ultimately matters is finding out what kind of future will make you the happiest. Try starting with the big picture, what's one thing (and I do mean ONE thing) that will make your life worth living? Once you figure that out, make a step by step plan on how to achieve that and get to work.

P.s. watch the 3 minute clip on YouTube from the movie City Slickers. Search for "one thing City Slickers" and watch it. Get inspired.

I'm very regimented. I like linear steps towards an objective. So I set a goal, develop a plan to reach that goal, and then set in place little steps to achieve that plan. It keeps me focused and progressing.

And most importantly I give zero shits about what someone else thinks about it.

When it feels hopeless and damn near impossible to stay positive, my thoughts stick to one of my hobbies like fucking superglue. It comes and goes, like the days, months, and years.

To me, every today is better than yesterday. Wouldn't go back to that shit, even if I could.

As far as motivation goes, it's just the things I like to do, they're what I enjoy doing most of the time and they have some financial benefit. (I'm a computer guy. I love taking things apart, seeing how they work, and then putting them back together.) There are so many things out there that I feel I could pursue, but when the list gets narrowed down on some of the tough days, it's the hobbies and the joys that are still there during those difficult times, which I set priorities for.

When I feel loss or hopeless I look at the evils in the world and thank god or the creator for not putting me in dire pain.

I look at the little things and be thankful I’m still here to enjoy good days.

Good days and bad days are unavoidable. It’s how you see the world.

For instance when I feel like shit I look up YouTube videos about homelessness.

Thank I thank this life for giving me a roof and water to drink and clean food to eat.

We take everything for granted. Especially if you live in the USA.

I love our country!

So yeah when I think life is pointless and meaningless I think logically. Life is pointless. But life is also fun at times.

We live than we die. It’s pretty straight forward.

So I live for a purpose. My purpose is to remain peaceful. Loving and caring. But also logical. I need food to eat. Water to drink. And a roof to sleep.

So now I perfect those situations. I make sure I have plenty of money to survive in this very horrible Finical environment. Literally everything is set up for you to keep up the rat race life.

So the point to living is enjoying what life has to offer and doing your best not to become homeless or careless with your financial situation .

Another rule. People are all depressed and sad in America.

Don’t live for people. Live to help but never live for. People are unreliable.

Goals my young brother, goals.

I've got 13 years on you and have tried it all. It's the goals that's keeping me sane in an insane world.

Having active, tangible and measurable goals. Not just financial or professional or stuff that's a drag after a few months, but also fun stuff.

In September I'm going to the States and circling the US mainland in a Tesla. The goal now is to plan the route and accommodation (goal).

I'm doing it purely with investment gains money (goal)

Having saved nearly 100k cash the past 22 months (goal - achieved), I'm easing on the savings this year and only planning on 40k this year (goal).

Every January I write down my 10 goals for the year and display it on a big white board and tick it off as I go along.

Best of luck

If you get the opportunity, read the book, being and nothing by Sartre

I drive really fucking fast a couple times a week. Lift heavy at the gym. Live your life like it was a video game with replay value.
