Question for the day - what motivates us?

Florida's Future depends on motivated individuals - but what motivates us?

We can sometimes be motivated by comparison - we see someone who has achieved what we want and desire to emulate him. Maybe we are envious of the position, power, or possessions of another, motivating us to work to be like him. Are we motivated by competition by comparing ourselves to others?

Maybe we are motivated by dreams - we see a desired future and work to bring it to fruition. We see the world not as it is, but as it could be.

Maybe we are motivated by needs - we work to put food on the table, shelter over our heads, to protect our family.

Maybe we are motivated by time (or the lack of it) - as the days slip by, we are motivated to action by a fear of missing out or being left behind?

What do you think?
