One can't have enough of it. Problem is that it is decays, expires, cannot be chased or collected. It comes and goes seemingly randomly. At least that is how I learned to see motivation as. Sorry for sounding pessimistic but it is hard to say good things when you don't have motivation. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://fosstodon.org/@mike"&gt;Mike Stone&lt;/a&gt; wrote about his struggle to find &lt;a href="https://mikestone.me/motivation"&gt;motivation&lt;/a&gt; back in June. When I first joined Fosstodon and was a much more amateur in life, I saw Mike and Kev as role models in IT. Now seeing that Kev had problem keeping up with &lt;a href="https://100daystooffload.com/"&gt;#100DaysToOffload&lt;/a&gt; that he started in the first place and Mike is also facing lack of motivation too, I am relived 😐️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I worried about something being inherently wrong with me. It turns out motivation comes and goes. There maybe a way to find motivation but I come to believe that the &lt;strong&gt;way to find motivation is different for everybody, time and occasion&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For many occasions the motivation for Mike was his family. Me writing this post instead of postponing it for 1 more day is the fear of feeling shame and at loss.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;span class="tooltiptext"&gt;Sometimes motivation wears a mask called "purpose" and my eyes just miss it, when I don't see the purpose in something I just don't have motivation to do it. My wish is the motivation being apparent to all of us so that we don't waste time.&lt;/span&gt;
