Or perhaps you're afraid that you're going to lose your job or that you won't have enough to live on when you retire in a few years. Fear can be very motivating. But only if it's a real fear right now, and not just something vague in
distant future.
On
other hand, if your quality of life right now is ok, but you just want to make it better, then you may not be motivated enough. If you have a decent job and make decent money, but you just want a nicer car and a nicer house, then that might not keep your fire burning long enough. Because things wouldn't be bad if you quit.
But there's a better reason that will keep you working hard until you succeed. Strive to do something meaningful with your life. Something that's meaningful to *you*. Something that will fill you up and make you glad to be alive everyday. That's much more powerful than a nice car.
Perhaps you want to send your kids to
best schools. Or you want to be able to take care of your parents if their health fails. Maybe you want to build shelters for homeless families.
Or maybe you just want to have
time to write a novel. Or you want to spend more time with your kids before they're all grown up.
These things will do more than just improve
quality of your life. Much more than a nice house.
So if you don't already know what you're going to do with your earnings online, then you should give it some thought.
Why are you doing it? If you have a good answer, then you'll almost certainly succeed.
P.S. This philosophy is really about succeeding at *anything*.
