Sometimes It's About The Challenge

Motivation is a core importance to me. Everything has a reason. All of our thoughts and actions have an impetus. What the heck is it? If you can understand what drives us, you will understand the world with superior clarity (and can probably come up with far more interesting stories).

Sometimes, we choose to do something for no real reason at all. It seems odd, maybe even out of character, but still, there is a reason. Sometimes, it's about the challenge. You get an idea in your head. You wonder what exactly it is that you are capable of doing, and you simply have to know and will do anything to find out.

Challenges are nice. They get you to work toward a goal, which makes you productive, and then, when you achieve that goal, you get a huge endorphin load which makes you feel amazing. Provided you don't go overboard and stop taking care of your primary duties like hygiene and feeding yourself and your dependents, it is an all-win situation.
